In Year 2, the children are thoroughly enjoying finding out about and singing about The Victorians as part of their History topic. They are working on answering the Learning Challenge question: What do we know about the Victorians and the way they lived?
Take a look at our Victorian children, sitting in straight lines, writing out sums…
In Class 11, we have been thinking about our personal targets for the rest of the Autumn term, as well as discussing our targets with Mr Wilson for Numeracy and Literacy.
Here is an example of what we have been thinking about and the types of targets we have been set. All our targets are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-based) and are agreed with the teacher so that we know what we are working towards.
Ask your child about their targets!
In Science in Year 3 we are learning about the human body. Our Learning Challenge question is ‘How does Usain Bolt move so quickly?’
As part of this, we all measured and ran 100m across the school field. The fastest 4 times were recorded and compared against Usain Bolt’s world record winning time of 9 seconds.
Over the coming weeks we will discuss what makes him such a fast runner, learning about bones, muscles, food and nutrition. Take a look at some of our fabulous work!
This week in Year 4 the children have continued to explore place value. Place value is the value of each digit in a number. It is vital to their mathematical development in primary school as it supports their learning in other areas of maths such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
This week the children have learnt how to partition numbers with up to 4 digits to represent numbers up to 10,000 on a number line and to find 1, 10, 100 and 1000 more or less using their knowledge of place value. They have used a variety of methods such as part-part whole models and place value tables supported by concrete materials such as Dienes and place value counters to support their learning.
This week in Maths in Class 1, we have been looking at numbers to 5. We have been forming numbers and representing them using a range of objects. We have been linking this all to NumberBlocks. The children have been building the number block cartoons to match the picture of them and then counting them to make sure they are correct. Here’s a picture of the activity and a picture of our display we have been using to support our maths work.
Year 5 have enjoyed completing fitness circuits on Monday mornings recently ahead of their upcoming multi-skills sessions. Children took part in a bleep test to assess their current levels of fitness before completing a number of timed relay events last week. All children tried extremely hard and had a great time.
Year 2 have been busy working with Base Ten to make 2 digit numbers.
In small groups, the children were tasked with asking their friend to represent a number that had so many tens and ones. They used language like ‘greater than, less than and the same as.”
Their partner then had to make suggestions about what that number could and could not be and give reasons for their thinking.
Smart work Year 2!
This week in class 2 we have been celebrating ‘Pete the Cat’s’ birthday, he turned 5 this week!
We have been recognising numerals to five and counting out a specific number of items. The children have loved making play dough cakes for Pete.
