Pre-school - Maths - Repeating Patterns
In Maths this week we have been learning all about repeat patterns. The children have had different opportunities to repeat a pattern using colours or shapes. The children repeated a pattern on the caterpillar using colours linked to our story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and made repeating patterns using chalk to draw shapes in our outdoor provision and hop along shouting out their repeated pattern.

Year 4 Maths - Times Tables
Year 4 are becoming times-table whizzes! Each week, we focus on a different times table group, this week has been the 8 times table. Year 4 have loved singing along to the different songs and have even busted a few dance moves!
Reception - Maths - Building Numbers to 14
Today, our Reception children were busy becoming number experts! We practiced counting all the way to 20 — and back again — with lots of claps, jumps, and smiles along the way. Next, we used our clever ‘10 and _ more’ model to build numbers to 14. The children impressed us with how they grouped 10 and then added the extra ones — real maths superstars! To finish, we explored odd and even numbers, discovering which numbers like to pair up and which ones are left out. Such amazing thinking and teamwork today — Reception, you are maths champions!
Reception - Maths - Numbers to 13
Look at our amazing Reception superstars working hard in maths! We’ve been learning all about the numbers 11, 12 and 13 using colourful counters and ten frames. The children loved exploring the numbers in fun and practical ways – so much concentration and teamwork going on! What a great way to build those early number skills!
Reception - Maths - Number Bonds to 5
Today, the Reception children explored number bonds to 5 using Numicon shapes. The children were engaged and curious as they selected different Numicon pieces to fit onto their number bond mats. They experimented with combinations, discovering pairs of numbers that add together to make 5. One child confidently placed a 3-piece and a 2-piece together and said, “3 and 2 make 5!” Another child tested several combinations, swapping pieces and checking their total by counting the holes. The children worked both independently and collaboratively, sharing their ideas and helping each other find matching pairs. This activity supported their understanding of part-whole relationships and encouraged mathematical thinking through hands-on learning. It also helped develop their fine motor skills and number recognition.
Exploring Repeating Patterns in Reception.
Our Reception children have been busy learning about repeating patterns in maths! Using colorful cubes, they explored different sequences and practiced identifying and continuing patterns. This hands-on activity not only develops mathematical thinking but also strengthens problem-solving skills and creativity. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and engagement as they work together and learn through play. Keep up the great work, little mathematicians!
Year 3 Maths - Comparing Mass
In their Year 3 mathematics lessons, students have been exploring the concept of mass comparison. They utilized hands-on materials to determine if objects were heavier or lighter.
Year 6: Maths - Learning by Questions
As an extension task at the end of our maths lessons, year 6 have been working on their individualised targets to help with SATs revision. The questions are tailored to the students' specific areas of improvement. The class have been enjoying these challenges!
Reception - Maths - 2D and 3D Shapes
This week, the children have been busy exploring 2D and 3D shapes in a variety of fun and engaging ways. They have been identifying and naming different shapes, using them to build structures, and hunting for shapes in the environment around them. Through these activities, the children have been developing their mathematical thinking, strengthening their ability to recognize and describe shapes—key skills in the EYFS Mathematics framework. They have been using language to talk about the properties of shapes, such as the number of sides, corners, and faces, deepening their understanding of spatial awareness. It has been wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement as they discover how shapes are all around us!
Pre-School- Maths- Give Me 1,2,3
In Pre-School the children have been developing their understanding with number recognition (1, 2, 3) and counting, one-to-one correspondence. The children used the post box to post the teddy bears into the post box, counting along the way. We rolled the dice to see how many bears we needed to post. The activity introduced the numbers 1, 2, and 3, and more when needed and counting the number of bears clearly. When the children reached their number of bears they had been asked for they worked together to see if they needed more or less to add in the post box.
Year 1 Maths - Comparing Capacity
In Year 1, your child is learning about capacity – how much something can hold. This lesson focuses on comparing the capacity of different containers using terms like 'full,' 'empty,' 'more than,' 'less than,' and 'the same as.' We used hands-on activities to make learning fun and engaging, helping them develop practical skills and a solid understanding of measurement concepts. Get ready for some water play (and maybe a few spills!) as we explore the world of capacity.
Nursery - Maths - Positional Language
During our Maths activity this week, Nursery class have been exploring positional language. The children built on their understanding of on top and under, repeating the position as they placed bear in different areas around the basket. Some children were also able to further their learning and introduced 'next to' and 'in front' to their vocabulary, representing these positions with bear. Well done everyone!
