Congratulations to our dream team of mathematicians: Cody, Lily, Adrian and Alfie. They managed to come 4th in their heat with a very impressive score!

Most importantly they represented their schools, families and themselves very well and had great fun!

We are very proud of you…

Today, children in Year 4 took on an exciting Problem Solving Challenge with our sports coach, Mr. Phillips, that was truly out of this…

This morning, Year 5 were exploring common factors in an unusual way! We first worked out the factors of 2 products and then we had to find the common factors of those 2 products!

We then worked out the lowest common factor and the highest common factors!

Well done Year 5! Excellent…

Well done to all Y6 who went to Catholic High School today to do some real problem solving in 'BIG MATHS'!

Children in Year 4 have been diving into an exciting new approach to solving mathematical word problems: RUCSAC. This strategy is designed to help children break down word problems into manageable steps, encouraging logical thinking and confidence in their maths skills.

What is RUCSAC?

This week, Year 4 have been sharpening their maths skills by learning how to round numbers using number lines. The children explored how to find the midpoint between two numbers and decide whether to round up or down.

Using Frog and number lines made the process visual and interactive, helping…

This week Year 5 have been hard at work developing their place value skills! Well done Year 5!

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…
