Dunkin Donuts!

Children across school have been reading and quizzing to be entered to win a box of 6 Dunkin Donuts. Your teachers are incredibly proud of the effort you have put into reading over the past few weeks!

Due to success of this competition, we have decided to run the competition again! There will be a winner from each class and every time you read (and quiz for those children in KS2) in school or at home, you will be entered into the draw!

You have from Friday 26th February until Thursday 26th March to enter. Winners will be announced in Pride of Plover assembly on Friday 27th March, with the winners bringing their boxes of donuts home from school with them!

Good luck everyone!

Applying knowledge of doubling and halving

Applying understanding of doubling and halving
This lesson is a revision lesson. If you are watching with your child you can pause the lesson and talk through sections together. You can always go back and watch the lesson for that bit of learning again.
Start by practising what 1 more/1 greater than a number is? What is l fewer/1 less than the number?
Practise counting in 2s. Can you do that with number cards? What number goes next? Ask your adult to hide a number? Which one is missing?
We will recap lots of other maths today.
If you get chance, roll the dice and see if you can create a double.
Let us know what you have practised today.
