Reception - Maths - Rotating Shapes

In Maths, we have been thinking about how we can use our words to describe shapes. Today we rotated our shapes in our hands and discovered that even when they are rotated they keep their shape. The children then enjoyed creating patterns and pictures with shapes. They needed to rotate the shapes to fit them in the correct part of the picture.

Nursery - Maths - Big And Small

Nursery class were tasked with sorting a group of frogs by size! They were given two lily pads, one big and one small, ready for their frogs to jump onto. The children were encouraged to vocalise the size of each frog before allocating it to a corresponding lilypad. The children took different approaches during this activity, with some finding all of the small frogs first whereas other children picked up frogs at random and sorted them between big and small. The children enjoyed mimicking frog movements with the images, bouncing their frogs to the correct lily pads. Once all the frogs were sorted onto their lilypads, the children were challenged to count them! Nursery class tried really hard to number the frogs in sequence. Well done everyone!

Year 2 - Maths - Finding Three Quarters

Finding three-quarters is a fun adventure in Year 2 maths! Imagine you have a yummy pizza cut into four equal slices. To find three-quarters, you simply count out three of those slices. It's like taking a bite of one, then another, and then one more – you've enjoyed three out of the four equal parts! So, three-quarters means having three parts out of a whole that has been divided into four equal parts.

Nursery - Maths - Five Little Speckled Frogs

This week the children have shown high levels of engagement with the chia slime, exploring its texture with their hands, describing it as "slimy" and "squishy." When prompted to search for the hidden frogs, they demonstrated great observation skills, carefully moving aside the twigs, leaves and plants within the slime. As each frog was discovered, the children showed excitement and a developing understanding of object permanence. Upon finding a frog, most children were able to place it onto the designated log. As a group, they participated in singing "Five Little Speckled Frogs,". The children used some number language when counting the frogs, with some friends counting all of the frogs accurately.
