Juniper have been working on ‘finding the whole’ in Maths this morning. We have used our knowledge of finding fractions of amounts and our times tables to calculate the answers. We’ve drawn some fantastic bar models to visualise and calculate. These have really helped us in our learning.
Birch used base 10 to work out division calculations. We exchanged one 10 for 10 ones when we needed to and then shared equally into groups. For example 75 divided by 3.
Juniper have worked extremely hard this week to learn a written method for multiplying 2 digits by 2 digits. We have written a recipe for being successful. All of us have shown great progress since the start of the week and today we have been able to work in pairs, Read more
We have had a lots of fun this week learning about 2D and 3D shapes. To help learn the different properties we drew around 2D shapes using different colours. We then looked at how many vertices 2D shapes have by using string to make each shape and how many fingers Read more
As part of our four operations unit of work, Year 6 looked at order of operations and how we must use BODMAS. We explored how brackets and BODMAS affect our answers, challenged ourselves to use BODMAS to find 30 answers to the same calculation, played connect 4 and even solved Read more
Today we set off in our rockets to travel around the solar system answering missing number addition problems. We showed excellent team work in working with a partner to answer the question written on each planet and write the completed number sentence on our worksheets.
In maths this week, Year one have been learning about part whole models. We have learnt some actions to help us to remember what they represent. We have also used different objects in part whole models. Today we have started to write the part whole model into a number sentence. Read more
Juniper have been working hard this week on their place value knowledge. We’ve worked with some very large numbers and are able to read and write numbers to one million. We’ve used place value grids and counters to represent given numbers and we’ve made some of our own. We’ve challenged Read more
A huge welcome back to everybody. We’ve had a busy week getting to know each other and Mrs Graham has been really impressed with how well we have all settled back into school. We have started learning about The Great Fire of London and the children have all showed fantastic Read more
Year 3 Birch have had so much fun for our first week back. We have made woolly mammoths, read stories, wrote about our hopes and dreams, talked about what is important to us and revised over what we learnt in Year 2.
