Year 4 measurement

In maths this week, Year 4 are getting to grips with different measurements including capacity, weight and length. Today, we had a go at estimating and measuring lots of different objects, fluids and even body parts.

Symmetrical patterns

This week year 4 have been investigating all things symmetrical. Today, we used pegboards to create symmetrical patterns with different lines of symmetry; vertical, horizontal and diagonal. Can you tell which lines of symmetry our patterns have? Some might even have them all!

Movement and Direction Year 2

Today we learnt all about clockwise, anti-clockwise and how to measure our turns in quarters. Some outdoor learning really got us to physically practise our movement and direction.

We used a recipe by Jack Monroe, famous for her website, cookingonabootstrap. Jack is a writer, journalist and activist who campaigns on poverty issues, particularly relating to […]

Cracking codes and filling in fractions

Our Maths investigations this week and last week have really had us thinking but this brilliant, resilient lot have risen to the challenge. Last week, we used our knowledge of fractions, multiplication and division to divide squares composed of rectangles in various different ways. This week, we had a blank 100 square and a mind-boggling […]

Odd or Even?

Today Year 1 have been investigating odd and even numbers. They were given a set of statements such as, if I add two even numbers the answer will always be even, and asked to find out if they were always, sometimes or never true. They worked well in pairs and came up with some great […]

Battle shapes

In our quest to conquer coordinates, year 4 have been battling one another on geo boards to sink each others’ shapes! First, we made shapes on our geoboards using elastic bands, and worked out the coordinates of the vertices. Next, we translated our shapes in the quadrant. Ultimately, we tried to guess the coordinates of […]

Data Handling in Year 2

In Science we have been learning about the importance of exercise. In Maths we have been recording our results using tally charts and tables. Next stop- pictograms!
