Making Equal Groups

By Miss P STATHERS31st January 2023

Year 2 have started a new unit in Maths this week; Multiplication and Division. First of all we recapped our knowledge on the vocabulary equal and unequal. Equal means that all groups have to be the same.  Then we learned to recognise equal groups. Today we have learned how to make equal groups! Here we are making equal groups in class:

Tomorrow we will learn to add equal groups!

Challenge!

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD23rd January 2023

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!

Maths in the HUB

By Mrs H HEBDEN20th January 2023

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.

Y4 Active Maths Session

By Mr S MORGAN19th January 2023

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

Gruffalo’s Face Creations

By Mrs H WILEMAN12th January 2023

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!
