Multiple Madness

12th November 2021Mrs Lewis

In PE today we have been working on our Maths skills. We were practicing our times tables and counting in multiples of 10, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11. We had a great time!

      Adding bigger numbers

      11th November 2021Mrs Shuka

      On Wednesday we practiced using manipulatives to add 3 digit numbers. I love Tommy and Johnny’s creativity. Look how they have used pencils to create the addition symbol. I wonder if you can make a number sentence at home with 3-digit numbers. Use objects from around the house. I’d love to see your ideas.

      Marvellous morning maths

      11th November 2021Mrs Graves

      To help us turn the abstract world of maths and number into something concrete and that we can see, we use manipulatives. Manipulatives are objects that we can use to represent number and there are so many different ways we can use them to support our learning. They help with all levels of maths, and are not just for children that find maths more challenging.

      To help us practise the different ways we can use manipulatives, ewe complete a ‘show me’ as our morning activity. It has been ‘Show me a number’ but we will be moving onto ‘show me a number sentence.’

      Data collecting

      9th November 2021Miss Lotysz

      We have been collecting data in 4L about the different nationalities of children in our class. We started by collecting the data as a tally chart and then working collaboratively to produce a graph to show the data.

      Plover Praise in 3G

      9th November 2021Mrs Graves

      As I wasn’t in class yesterday morning , I found it hard to select a Plover Praise Postcard receiver, so I chose two today.

      Ella has come into school and worked incredibly hard, even though she was a not 100%. She has grappled with Bar Charts and not given up and I am really proud with her great attitude to learning.

      Well done, Ella,

      Marvellous Maths in 3G

      9th November 2021Mrs Graves

      We have been learning about graphs and charts this week in maths.

      To help us to practise our tally charts and pictograms, we decided to investigate how many different coloured smarties there were in a bag – this had the added incentive of being able to eat the smarties!

      We did some greater charts and really improved our maths skills, as we had to grapple with how to create the pictograms.

      How has our community grown?

      9th November 2021Mrs Shuka

      Today we have been investigating how are community is made up and how it has changed over the years. We have used our maths skills to create a tally to record our countries of origin. We have discovered that intake has become more diverse and people from all over the world have migrated here.

      Where do your family originate from? How far have they travelled?
