Tommy, Rivier and Isla-Grace have been working hard to subitise. Today, they showed they have smashed subitising and can do it easily! They rolled the dice and did not need to count. They then matched the numicon tile ( without counting the circles) to their number block board. They took turns and played by the rules. The first one to cover all their numberblocks was the winner! 🥇 We love playing maths games 🎲

Super mathematicians!
Miss Vines’ maths class have been working super hard in their new maths topic. Our current focus is multiplication and division. They are having to use their knowledge of timetables to help them in lessons and have been using resources to help find and prove their answers.
Keep up the awesome work Y3!

We are Rockstars
Plover’s first Rockathon was awesome! Well done to everyone who smashed out answers to so many times tables questions. You all looked pretty fabulous too!
Keep working hard on those times tables up to 12 x 12 at home as well as at school please Year 4. It’s not long until your official multiplication times tables check.

Sweet stuff, science and super Rock Stars for 3G this week!
What a great hook week!
We started with chocolate tasting and then delved into the history of chocolate. We were introduced to the concept of Fairtrade and learnt about solids, liquids and gases with our expert visitor and scientist, Harry.
The week ended with our Rockstar day – kicking it off with the Rockathon times tables challenge. Everyone looked fantastic and had great fun on Times Tables Rockstars.
Looking forward to what comes next!

Rockstars Day!
Year 5 turned the volume up this week as they rocked into Rockstar Day in true style! Dressed head to toe as rockstars, the children brought energy, enthusiasm and plenty of attitude to their learning.
Throughout the day, Year 5 focused on sharpening their timetables skills, showing fantastic concentration and determination while enjoying the fun, rock-themed atmosphere. Guitars, leather jackets and star poses were everywhere, but so was some brilliant maths learning.
The highlight of the day was taking part in the first ever Plover Rockathon. The children gave it their all, supporting one another and clearly having a great time while challenging themselves.
A huge well done to everyone involved for such a positive and exciting day. Rockathon results will be announced on Monday, and we can’t wait to celebrate the successes. Rock on, Year 5! 🎸⭐

Number Day in F2
We love numbers! Maths is fun! Today we celebrated number day with lots of learning and fun activities all linked to numbers and maths. We worked hard to make our own number track games, match numbers, make numbers, jigsaws, bee bots and dominos! As well as using our counting skills outside! #LovePlover
We can find factors and factor pairs!
Year 4 have been busy exploring the factors and factor pairs of different values today. Well done every one. When using the manipulatives as modelled and instructed, you all managed to succeed today!
Be ready to find more factors and factor pairs of more challenging values tomorrow, folks!
