Doubling

In maths we have been learning about doubling. We have learnt what it means and how to calculate doubles of amounts.

We have been working collaboratively to solve problems.

After maths some children went on to explore doubling in provision.

Marnie worked out that double 8 was 16. She was proud of her equation. She realised that she hadn’t written the symbols correctly and went back to correct it.

Myla wrote equations on the wipe board. She said she had written some doubles but 3+1 =4 and that isn’t a double.

It was lovely to see both girls using what they had learnt.

Wonderful World Book Day

It has been a week since World Book Day, and I thought it would be lovely to look back and remember what a great day it was.

The website has been updated with photographs, so head over there if you want to linger over the pictures a little longer.

But for a whistle-stop tour of the day, check out our video…..

How do Polar Bears keep warm?

This was one of the questions that the children wanted to find out about when we did our entry ticket to the expedition. Today we found out how.

We explored ice. We described what it felt like and what happened as it melted. We also found out that if you put the ice in oil it doesn’t feel as cold. We learnt that polar bears have fat under their fur to keep them warm.

We enjoyed watching the ice melt and talked about what happened to the oil as it mixed with the water. We had lots of fun!

Being kind

My Plover postcard was awarded to Edy today. She has shown that she is such a kind and caring friend. One of our class needed someone to help them. Edy noticed, helped them with their problem, played with them and checked that they were ok. What a fantastic crew member. The other children were so proud of her.

Well done Edy.

Marvellous maths

Bobby showed amazing focus and perseverance during independent learning time. He was using the Numicon to explore different ways he could make numbers. He made sets of 10s, then added them together. He realised that he was counting in 10s and said he could write the numbers. He then went on to write equations using the sets of 10 and the information that he had found out.

Well done Bobby

Being kind

This week we have been thinking about being kind to each other. We have shared resources and taken turns in class. We’ve also been getting crafty, making something for someone who is kind to us at home. You’ll have to wait until Sunday to see what we have made!
