Year 4 Times Tables Rockstars
We are times tables rockstars! Year 4 have been working so hard to learn their times tables and to understand their corresponding division facts. Check out these rockstars who have made great progress in just 2 days this week!
Year 5 Maths - Pizza Fractions
To introduce our Fractions topic in Maths, Year 5 enjoyed cutting some tasty pizza into halves, quarters and eighths, and identifying equivalent fractions. We then cut the second pizza into thirds and sixths and could tell that one third is equivalent to two sixths. We then enjoyed eating our pizza fractions!
Nursery - Literacy - 'We're Going on A Leaf Hunt'
The story Nursery class have been enjoying this week has been 'We're going on a leaf hunt'. We used the scenes from the story and a bit of imagination to go on our very own leaf hunt. The children were observant of their surroundings and found areas in the nursery garden that had similarities to our story. The children were encouraged to copy sound effects and positional language used in the story as they made different movements with their bodies. The children climbed to the top of a big hill, walked through the dark dark forest, rowed across the cold cold lake, found a house to hide from the skunk and with a bit of help from Miss Cooney, the children experienced a waterfall!
Reception Maths - Learning About The Composition of Five With The Song "Five Little Speckled Frogs."

Year 4 Maths - Understanding Area
This week, year 4 have started to look at area. We discussed what area meant, and were impressed with Dylilah's answer of, "It's the whole inside of that board, I would cover the whole board to show the area." We used post it notes as squares to physically construct rectilinear shapes with different areas, before learning how to draw them in our books. Well done year 4!
Year 5 Maths - Multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000
In maths we have been learning how to multiply by 10, 100 and 1000. We wrote digits from 1-9 on our whiteboards, and then moved the required number of places along a place value chart, making sure we added people with the place holder 0 to the empty places. In these photos we multiplied 58 by 10, 91 by 100, and 45 by 1000.
Nursery - Computing - Can You Fill The Fruit Bowl?
In Nursery class this week we have been reading 'Kitchen disco'. The children have been learning the names and characteristics of the different fruits in the story. During story time the children were tasked with identifying the fruit and drawing their representation on the interactive screen. They thought about the colour they may need to select, the shape of the fruit and the size of the fruit. The children worked together to complete our fruit bowl, great teamwork, Nursery class.

Pre-School-Maths-Joining In With Repeats
In Maths this week the children have been joining in with an arrangement of repeats such as singing nursery rhymes, If you're happy and you know it and five cheeky monkeys. The children also joined in with repeats of body percussion clap, jumps and a body movement of the children's choice.
Year 5 Maths: Square Numbers
In maths, Year 5 are learning about multiplication and division. We have learnt about multiples, factors and prime numbers, and have moved onto understanding square numbers. To help with our understanding, we created square arrays with counters. We discovered that 4 is a square number - because we could create a square shaped array with 4 counters. We also discovered that 6 is not a square number!
Nursery - Maths - Categorising Objects
This week, Nursery class have been reading 'kitchen disco', two of the first fruits we have explored are lemons and oranges. We discussed the size difference, encouraging the verbal use of 'big' and 'small'. The children vocalised the shape of the sliced fruit segments being 'circle' and also used their senses to smell each piece to help differentiate between the lemons and the oranges. We then separated the fruit into piles of oranges and piles of limes, the children used their own methods to do this from their knowledge gained during the adult led part of this activity. Well done Nursery class!
