Year 5 have been learning all about angles. They enjoyed a lesson of finding and measuring angles using protractors.
Year One have had loads of fun learning how to read and show the time using their bodies as the hands of the clock. We have also played time bingo race games. Our confidence if developing quickly in reading the time for o’clock and half past the hour.
We are using lolly sticks to divide with remainders in class.
Putting lollisticks into triangles to divide by 3.
Year 5 have enjoyed a morning exploring nets of 3D shapes. They investigated how many different nets of a cube they could create.
Lots of excellent maths talk and reasoning.
Reception have enjoyed the challenge of making a bridge from any material of their choice. The bridge has to be tall enough to so that a boat 20cm tall can sail underneath. There has been some fantastic team work, listening, cooperation and responding to each other's ideas. Children have been measuring their bridge, adapting their work and being resilient in the process. Tomorrow we continue adapting and modifying our work.
As the children were dressed up in red, white and blue for the day to celebrate our International day for Elham who is leaving the school to go back to Paris
Reception children have enjoyed learning about measuring time in simple ways, using stop watches to measure and record their race times. Well done eveyone!
The children loved sorting objects between man made and natural today. We discovered that some belong a little in both and the reasoning and explanations from children were fantastic.
