Today, the Swans completed the Taskmaster challenge in Maths. They had to work as a team to build the tallest free standing tower using just A4 paper and tape. They had to explore how different shapes and their characteristics (triangles, cylinders, wide bases) affect stability and strength, measure the height and put their problem solving […]
I had the pleasure of teaching Year 5 today! We went outside and deadheaded the daffodils and used the stems to create different types of angles: acute, obtuse and right angles. It was so lovely being able to teach maths outside in the sunshine!
Some of the Year 6 children have been enjoying the 4x4s challenge. They had to make the numbers 1-50 using only the digit 4 (4 times). In order to complete this challenge, some KS3 Maths knowledge was needed so this really extended their problem solving skills.
Year 3 have had a great time exploring and comparing mass, looking at the equivalent of kilograms and grams!
Today we used Mrs Harvey’s lemon drizzle cake to help the Year 4s understand equivalent fractions!
This week in Woodpeckers, we have started looking at multiplying numbers together. Learning our times tables through TT Rockstars, or playing Hit the Button (which is a website you can find by googling!) is so important to all areas of mathematics. We will use our times table knowledge to solve longer word problems at the […]
The children in Kingfishers Class took part in a money sense workshop provided by NatWest. The workshop was called Super Smoothie Shop. The children were shown slides to get them thinking about: what money is, where we get it, how we can spend it and what a ‘business’ is. The children worked in groups to […]
In maths this half term, both year groups have looked at place value. We identified what each digit represented in a two or three digit number and could partition given numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
Florence told Miss Jones that we had been at school for 100 days and found number 100 on the hundred square and wrote number 100. The children came to school in their 100 Day T- shirts and outfits. To celebrate our 100 days of school, Laura the school cook baked us a lovely cake! Thank […]

Kingfishers Class had great fun celebrating 100 days at school! To celebrate our 100 days of school, Mandy the school cook baked us a lovely cake! Thank you Mandy, it was delicious! The children had lots of challenges to complete in 100 seconds – Writing their name, seeing how many pegs they could put in […]
Year 3 have been learning to measure volume and capacity. The children followed Mrs Sadler’s recipe to chop fruit and measure juices to create a delicious fruit punch. Yummy!
