This week, Year 5 have explored reflection in Maths. This week in Maths, Year 5 have begun their new unit on Shape. Since Monday, the children have been building their understanding step by step, exploring co-ordinates, translation and lines of symmetry. Today, the focus was on reflection. The chi
Year One have been having fun with fractions this week. The week started off by learning what half means. We learnt that when we half a shape we have to split it into two equal parts. Next, the children cut out a square, a circle and a triangle. They folded each shape in half and coloured half of it
This week, year 4 have been revisiting analogue and digital time, and they have enjoyed lots of practical activities. They reviewed what they already knew about the difference between analogue and digital clocks, before practicing reading and showing times on individual clocks. Then, they used flipc
This week in Year 6, we have been developing our understanding of position and direction in maths. We began by revisiting co-ordinates, where we practised plotting and reading points accurately on a grid. The class showed great focus when identifying positions and using the correct vocabulary. We th
Our unit of measurement in Maths this week is capacity and volume. After spending some time looking at the scales on the jugs and cylinders, we got out the water and starting measuring! Dying it with food colouring made it much easier to see in the container too. Volume is always interesting so
In Maths, Year Two have been learning all about measuring. They have measured the height, length and mass of different objects, as well as the volume of liquid in containers. To begin, the children measured the height and length of classroom objects using centimetres. They made sure to line the edge
Our current focus in Maths is fractions – revisiting some elements from Year 2, and adding in some new challenges with unit and non-unit fractions and then comparing and ordering them. Today we used the red and yellow counters to look at how you can demonstrate and write unit fractions, and how they
In maths this week, year 4 have been finding the perimeter of polygons. They have used the features of regular polygons to calculate perimeter by using their times tables knowledge. For irregular polygons, they have explored different addition strategies to find the most efficient method. Calculatin
After a block of calculating, we are enjoying a couple of weeks getting stuck into measurement. We started this week revisiting the smaller units of length (mm and cm) and then extending this on to metres. Within measurement, we look at how to record measurement, how to measure something and draw
This week, our school has been buzzing with creativity, problem-solving and innovation as we celebrated STEM Week. Every year group took part in exciting hands-on activities designed to develop skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, and it has been fantastic to see our pupils thinking
