Well done to the children who were among the first this year to receive awards for Times Table Rock Stars and Reading Plus – you really are ‘getting smart’! We can’t wait to see you, and more, being recognised again in Community Crew again soon.

Making Houses in Maths
Today we looked at shapes in a house. We noticed a square and triangle. Using lolly pop sticks we made our houses. 4 sticks to make the square and 3 sticks to make the triangle for a roof. #LovePlover
What is the value?
2P have been busy exploring numbers and the number system and recognising the tens and ones digits in 2-digit numbers. We have made numbers with different resources and identified the parts and wholes of different numbers. We are now exploring how we can use this knowledge to identify numbers on number lines. Great work!

Awesome maths- fantastic examples of craftsmanship and quality in 6B!
6B have smashed today’s maths lesson. They have shown courage by sharing their answers and working out with the rest of our crew. They are confidently reading and writing numbers up to ten million!
6B… your challenge is to complete page 6 in your maths CPG book. Please return your home learning to me for a ticket in our prize draw and you will also receive 10 crew coins for ‘getting smart’.

Composition of Number
In maths, we have already learned to subitise. That means we don’t need to count objects and pictures up to three. We can just say what we see. Now, we are looking at what four is. We made four with one and one and one and one. We explored what else it can be made of. Some of us made it with two and two, three and one, one and three or a tall tower, or four in a row. Sooo many ways of making four! It’s so exciting that we have so many more numbers to explore together this year!
Multiplication Academic Crew
Crew Haycock have been challenging each other to improve their times-tables knowledge. Using our heat maps, we have identified where we have made great progress and where we still need to make that extra little push. Keep helping each other guys…together we have got this Multiplication Times Tables Check!

Counting Sticks
In maths today we learnt to count large objects that we cannot move. So counting bear helped us by showing us to use a counting stick to point. The children counted 7 trees, 4 flower beds, 1 shed, 12 tyres. #LovePlover
Super home learning- keep it up!

I am so, so proud of Violet. She went home and completed additional home learning after yesterday’s maths session. A perfect example of leading her own learning and our character trait- craftsmanship and quality.
Keep it up you superstar! 10 crew coins!

Maths in F2BP
We were helping Rat to find out ‘how many’ today. Sometimes, we could subitise and others we needed to do careful touch counting. In Provision, we played games with the dice to subitise and helped Rat learn how to subitise too- say how many you can see.
Stretch and challenge in maths
Well done to the talented mathematicians in Year 5 who completed all their set (and extended) work with such accuracy they were able to challenge themselves to additional problem solving on the carpet this morning, amazing!
