Well done Brookside for making such a fabulous effort at practising your times tables using our new online learning tool: Times Table Rockstars!  Thanks to these two rockers, Mr Gambles and Mr Whitcombe for a special performance!

We have competed against each other and have received lots…

Well done Y6!

We went to Whitby High School this morning to complete lots of interactive maths challenges.

We had to work as a team and had some helpful Y9 students to support us when we needed it!

It was great to see some familiar faces from past…

Children in Year 4 have been exploring the work of the Ancient Greek mathematician, Euler.

Euler helped discover the 5 Platonic shapes.  The children worked in groups to test his formula of Number of Faces + Number of Vertices - Number of Edges = 2.

Great work Year 4!

In Year 6, the children have creating amazing powerpoint projects all about the Enigma Machine.

We created an interactive guide using hyperlinks and shortcut buttons.

We embedded digital content, transitions, animation, sound and images.

We learnt how to use search technologies…

First day back and the children in Year 4 are busy revising and reviewing the Place Value knowledge from Year 3. 

As the temperatures rise what a perfect day for a lesson on water capacity!

Year 3 are exploring 3 d shape.

Corners, vertices, edges and faces et al. 

How many 3 d shapes can you spot when you are 

out and about ?

Year 3 try to find the right angle!

Children have been exploring the relationship between Volume and Distance.  They have graphed their results.

This week we had a special delivery. Upon investigation, we found a basket full of cooking equipment and ingredients and a recipe card to make Gingerbread men. We carefully read the instructions and measured out all the ingredients to make our tasty biscuits. 

Year 4 have been using playing cards, dice, counters and bingo to generate their addition own calculations. 

Children in Year 4 read the story of Theseus and the Minotaur before design their own maze.  The children practised their measurements and cutting skills, as well developing their teamwork skills.
