These past two weeks 3B have beeb grappling with a new math concept of column addition and subtraction. All have worked super hard and the progress made has been amazing! Also we now have some fabulous coaches who are a wonderful help.
Big shout out to Bahman and Olivia for doing some extra maths work out of school! Vivan has also brought in a lovely poem made at home too.
Keep up the great attitude to learning!

As part of the expedition – Regs to Riches: What lies within the castle walls? we have been designing and making catapults.
After successfully building two different kinds, we decided to use our maths skills and measure how far each catapult could fire the projectile.
First, we discussed how to make this a fair test.
This week we have been making 5 in different ways. The children have been challenged to record what they found out. Over the week they have drawn Numicon, beads, used a part whole model and today they used numbers alongside manipulatives including their fingers. Some children are able to say number bonds without using manipulatives.
I am looking forward to next week when we learn greater and less than.
