We revisited and demonstrated an understanding of the commutative law of addition today.
We found out that we can change the order of the addends and the sum remains the same.
We played a game, rolling two dice in order to find our addends to complete our sum, demonstrating some wonderful partner work.
This week in math, year 1 have been looking at 3-D shapes.
We have looked at lots of shapes including spheres, cubes, pyramids, cuboids, cones and cylinder. We looked carefully at these shapes and got to hold them to look more closely.
We did a 3-D shape hunt around the classroom and found lots of the 3-D shapes in the things we use.
The glue sticks are the shape of a cylinder, rubbers are the shape of a cuboid and our pencil boxes are the shape of a cube as well at lots more.
We have really enjoyed finding 3-D shapes around the classroom. Some children went home and found more around their home. They found that boxes of cereal are a cuboid and oranges are a sphere.
Well done year 1!
In F1 we have enjoyed learning the song 5 currants buns in our maths lessons. We have even made them in playdoh and made a bakers shop.
Y6 students had a fantastic day of learning at Sirius Academy West today. We took part in a carousel of olympic themed activities and demonstrated fantastic team work to win as many point as possible for the countries we were representing!
In the maths session, we playing ‘archery maths’ and studied sprint times from the 100m races. This tested our mental maths skills and ability to order numbers up to 2 decimal places. We also enjoyed spotting lines of symmetry on the countries’ fags!
We worked really hard in art to develop our light sketching skills and design and draw our own olympic mascots.
In computing, we programmed an electronic game of squash and loved spending time in the designated computer suites!
We had so much fun playing competitive geography games which tested our knowledge on the countries involved in hosting the olympics and also the continents in which they were held!
