In maths today we thought about what we could see on different pictures. We used our subitising skills and shared our ideas.

Marvellous maths!
What time is it, Mrs Graves?
This week we have been learning to tell the time using an analogue clock. We have recapped o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to, and then moved on to telling the time using 5 minute intervals and in 1 minute intervals.
We enjoyed working together today to build our own clocks to use as our anchor charts in our time lessons.
We have found it quite tricky, as many of use don’t use the traditional clocks. We are much more used to reading digital time on our phones, ovens and cars. So, we would love it if our family at home can help us practise – please keep asking us what time it is, or telling us what time we will be doing things – and please show us what that time looks like on a traditional clock, using the phrases ‘minute hand’ and ‘hour hand’, …. minutes past, ………. minutes to etc.

Where is the treasure?
In maths this week we are continuing to solve problems using direction and number bonds. The children had to read the clues and follow the directions. When they had found where the treasure was, there was another clue. Using 10 frames and their knowledge of number bonds, they had to solve the problem for the pirate.
Rishaa was confident at giving directions and tried to help her friends by drawing the directions as they moved. She realised that it depended which way you were facing for left and right and kept turning the paper round. She then realised that forwards and backwards didn’t match left and right!

Travelling around the Land of Nod
The Land of Nod Map
We put the pictures from the story onto the right place on our giant floor map. We used above, below, to the side, right and left. We asked the children to stand on one place in the map and follow our directions. We used left, right, forwards and backwards to get to different parts of The Land of Nod.
Mermaid maths
In our story this week, the mermaid was running out of time. It started with ten minutes and on each page a minute passed. We used our cubes on the carpet to represent the minutes passing. We could see the minutes that had passed on the floor and the minutes that were left in our hands. We saw our number bonds to ten and the subtraction facts that go with it. We loved seeing the patterns and some of us knew the numbers because we can remember our number bonds to ten, without having to count. After that, in provision, some awesome mathematicians wrote down what we had found out.
Active maths in F2B
F2B had so much fun this afternoon doing some active maths in class. We read the story ‘Ten minutes to bed Little Mermaid’ where the children learnt how long 1 minute was. We then guessed how many times we could do different activities in 10 minutes such as hopping on one foot or rubbing our tummies after lunch! We then timed each other to see if we were right!
Keep up the great work F2B!
Miss Wood.
