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.
Last week the children spotted the signs of Winter during outdoor learning. We noticed there was frost, snow and lots of ice. We made different shapes with the ice. #LovePlover
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.
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.
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! 🎸⭐
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
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!
We are so excited for our upcoming rockstar dress up day. A day where TT rockstar battles will take place to see who the ultimate TT rockstars are at Plover Primary school. We can not wait to see all of their children in their costumes. Please do not feel you have to purchase anything new. There are lots of examples of DIY costumes online including items you will more than likely already have at home.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s phase leader:
Year 4 are making some marvellous strides with their use of manipulatives to support the building of their knowledge of multiplications facts and their inverse division facts.
I enjoy teaching this maths groups so much. They really do challenge themselves and support each other at the same time!
Well done every one…you all make me so proud and happy to be your teacher!
