Year 2 Maths Finding the Missing Number
Our Year 2 mathematicians have been hard at work using counters and manipulatives to solve missing number problems and balance number sentences! Great problem-solving and teamwork on display today.
Year 6 - Maths - Fractions
It has been a busy and productive week in Year 6 as the children tackled the tricky world of fractions! They explored how to compare fractions, getting their heads around the counter-intuitive rule that when numerators are the same, a smaller denominator actually means a larger fraction—quite confusing at first glance! Rising brilliantly to the challenge, the pupils then moved on to converting fractions into common denominators to add and subtract them accurately, before mastering how to simplify their final answers into their simplest form. It was truly demanding work, but their perseverance shone through. Well done, Year 6—keep up the fantastic effort!

Year 2 - Maths - Exchanging Ones
Our Year 2 mathematicians have been busy exploring exchanging ones in addition and subtraction. Using practical resources and manipulatives, the children worked hard to represent numbers, explore place value and develop their understanding of how numbers can be exchanged. A hands-on approach to help bring their learning to life, build confidence and deepen their mathematical understanding. Lots of fantastic thinking and problem-solving! Well done, Year 2!
Pre-School-Maths-Building With Shapes
In Maths this week the children have been building masterpieces using 2D and 3D shapes, identifying some shapes they have used along the way. We had houses,castles,trains, cars and many more masterpieces.The children were really excited about their creations.

Nursery - Maths - Subitising 1 and 2
Our Nursery children have been sharpening their early subitising skills this week—learning to instantly recognise quantities of 1 and 2 without needing to count them one by one. To bring this mathematical concept to life, we brought out a magic cauldron! The children brewed up their own special spells using pumpkins, spiders, and pinecones. Once all the ingredients were mixed, everyone peered into the cauldron to spot, name, and talk about the small groups of 1 and 2 items floating inside. It was a brilliant, hands-on way to make early number confidence fun, engaging, and just a little bit magical!
Year 4 Maths - Addition
Year 4 have been adding 4-digit numbers in place value frames. We have used counters to help us correctly add these large numbers and see how numbers sometimes exchange into another column. It was tricky at first, but Year 4 are getting the hang of it now and are making great progress in this area!
Year 1 - Maths - Part Whole Model
Year 1 have been exploring part whole models this week. The children have been counting the number of objects to find the whole and separating them into groups to find the different parts.
Reception - Maths - Patterns
Reception have been busy in Maths this week learning all about different patterns. They began by using our bodies to copy simple repeating patterns such as stomp, clap, stomp, clap. We then moved on to using objects such as cubes and teddy bears, focusing on the colours. Our mathematicians have been copying, continuing, and creating repeating patterns with lots of energy and confidence!
Year 1 - FLuency Bee - Composition of 5.
Our Y1 children have really been enjoying our Fluency Bee lessons. They used the counters to explore different compositions of 5.
Year 2 Maths - Working Together to Find Fact Families
Hands-on Maths: Unpicking Fact Families in Year 2 Our Year 2 mathematicians were put to the test this week during an active, hands-on maths lesson on fact families! The children were given a collection of completely muddled-up number sentences. Channeling their key knowledge of addition, subtraction, and number bonds, they set straight to work finding 3 friends with a matching number, but different calculation sentences. Once the number sentences were paired up, pupils matched each family to its corresponding part-whole model before building the numbers using physical Base 10 equipment. It was fantastic to see such great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the room, with everyone mastering how numbers relate to one another—confident in the knowledge that if 6 + 4 = 10, then 4 + 6 = 10, 10 - 4 = 6, and 10 - 6 = 4!
