This week children in Year 4 have been consolidating their understanding of number and place value, focusing on 3-digit numbers. As part of their learning, they created fantastic Place Value Monsters using Base 10 equipment to represent hundreds, tens, and ones.

The activity was a fun and…

Year 3 have been using different manipulatives to find out all about place value.

What a brilliant buzz in Year 4 this morning! We were lucky enough to take part in a hands-on STEM workshop run by the Engineering Development Trust (EDT) – and what a challenge it was!

Armed with just straws and a single metre of sticky tape, the children set about building the strongest…

Year 5 had great fun using protractors to measure angles on their tables. They worked carefully to identify and measure a variety of angles all around them.

Well done Year 5!

As part of fractions Year 3 have been working out practically how to find 2/3, 3/4 or 5/8ths of a number.

Year 5 had a fun, hands-on lesson using playdough and fractions to compare planet sizes! They scaled each planet accurately, seeing how tiny Mercury is next to giant Jupiter. This creative activity brought maths and space learning to life—well done, Year 5!

Year 2 are exploring non standard measures by using their own hand spans

Knowledge: to use non standard measures

Skills: to use my hand span to measure objects around the classroom

Vocab: non standard measures, hand span

This week, in Design Technology, children have followed instructions to create a simple car chassis.  They use measuring tapes to measure how far their car travelled down an inclined plane.

Great teamwork shown today by all the children - Well Done!

The children have been hunting for rectangles in the shapes in the school garden.  The children then had to measure the length and width to calculate the perimeter.  

Children in Year 4 have been working hard to understand the concept of dividing Hundreds, Tens and Ones in equal groups. 

Great job, Year 4 - Keep going!
