Team Starlings have been navigating the tricky topic of 'volume' this week, and have taken every challenge in their stride! We have enjoyed making various 3D objects out of cubes, calculating their volume, and giving each other virtual volume challenges! Keep up the super work, Team…

Sunflowers can describe and compare different capacities.

This week in Hedgehogs every is a Gold Star! 

Everyone was celebrated this week in front of the whole school for showing resilience, positivity and being exceptional in their multiplication checks.

In maths,  we have been learning about lines of symmetry in shapes. 

The children have been correctly placing the number of objects in front of each of the cones. 
 

This week, Team Rabbits have been introduced to multiplication! Their first lesson was all about making equal groups and understanding that equal means the same! Using concrete manipulatives, we were able to use our reasoning skills and explain why the groups were equal.

This week, Team Daffodils have been learning about the cardinal principle. We have counted different amounts throughout the week and identified that the last number we say is the number we have altogether. We have also tried matching amounts to numerals. Good job Daffodils!

We have been enjoying Geometry in Team Starlings this wee! We have looked at angle facts, shape facts, the difference between regular and irregular polygons, how to find missing angles, how to use a protractor, and even how to spot parallel and diagonal lines within polygons! 

This week sunflower's have been practising counting on from a given number.

We have had lots of fun making marble runs during our STEM day! We have been competing to make the slowest marble run. We have worked in teams to create some AMAZING marble runs and the children are very proud of themselves. Well done team Hedgehogs, you have…

We have had SO much fun during out STEM day this week! We have been competing to make the slowest marble run, using our science, maths, design and technology knowledge around textures, friction, angles and speed to help us. We have created some MASTERPIECES and have really impressed our teacher…

In Maths we have been learning all about height and length. We used our new vocabulary- tall, taller, tallest, small, smaller, smallest and long, longer, longest. We then used the cubes to measure objects in our classroom.
