Number Sense!
Since the start of this year, everyday we have completed our Number Sense work to work on our rapid mental recall of certain multiplication facts. So far this year we have worked on our doubles, two times table and square numbers. We always recite these as a class and recall the biggest factor first. We really enjoy our daily sessions and they really help during our power maths lessons!

Becoming Geologists: Exploring Rocks, Fossils, and Earth’s Layers!
This half term, our class has been diving into the world of rocks, fossils, and geology, taking on the role of real-life geologists.

We sharpened our skills by classifying rocks based on their colour, shape, texture, and size. It was exciting to discover shiny crystals, rough textures, and even surprising patterns in the rocks we studied. To Read more
