One of our children set herself a challenge to balance wooden blocks, on their ends, to create a tower. It was not an easy task. However, other children chose to join in with her. They all worked so hard, not giving up, even when their towers fell down. We have been thinking about not giving up during our Jigsaw sessions. This just shows how determined our children are, even at 3 years old. Well done to everyone involved!

As Mathematicians this week, we have been using our tools to help us multiply by 10 and 100, divide by 10 and 100 and recognise patterns in related facts. We made good use of the tools to help us calculate questions using the inverse and challenges.
This afternoon, Y4 took part in a range of fun, active maths actvities to help them learn their times tables. The activites were planned and delivered by our sports scholarship group who were challenged with inventing an activity which combined physical activity and times tables. A huge well done to our y56s who demonstrated excellent leadership and inventiveness.
Grace and Alisha’s activity used balance and co-ordnation
Evie and Lacie’s game required children to bounce a ball and recite a times table

Miss Ewan’s Class and our Sports Scholarship group had a great time!
We loved creating our Gruffalo faces!
We used a sponge painting technique to represent the fur.
We then copied the features on the Gruffalo’s face using 2D shaped card consisting of circles, squares and triangles.
We don’t think they are scary at all! We think the Grufallo and The Grufallo’s Child are really friendly! We love them!
This week in maths we have been looking at writing number sentences relating to part-whole models.
We explored this practically first by using counters to complete a part- whole model. On our whiteboards we then made the same part-whole model using numerals. Finally we wrote the number sentence to represent it. With their partners, they then made their own part-whole model between them and enjoyed writing the number sentences. Well done Year 1!
