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. 

This week, Team Daffodils have been learning about smallest, small, big and biggest. The children compared objects in Forest School and decided who had the biggest. 

We have moved onto converting decimal numbers to fractions, and fraction numbers to decimals in team Starlings. The class have faced this tricky challenge with a positive attitude and have come on leaps and bounds! We have been so impressed with the budding mathematicians amongst us. Over the next…

This week in our maths lessons we have started a new unit about graphs. We have focused on drawing the graphs with a pencil and a ruler and making sure that they are plotted in the correct place. We have also been practicing reading the graphs to retrieve information.

We've had a very exciting week in Daffodils! On Monday some eggs arrived in Daffodils. The children counted 10 eggs. On Wednesday our eggs started to hatch. By the end of Wednesday, the children counted 5 chick and 5 eggs left to hatch. By Thursday morning, the children counted 9 chicks and 1 egg…

This week in Badgers, we have been using what we have learnt in multiplication, to solve problems. We have used the RUCSAC method to ensure we Read, Underline, Choose, Solve, Answer and Check. We find this helpful and tick off each stage on our RUCSAC book mark.

We have been looking at length in Maths this term, using both centimetres and metres as our unit of measurement. 

In Maths this week we have been comparing numbers to 20. We have been finding the difference between 2 numbers between 11 and 20, and then explaining how we know. For example- We know 11 is less than 15, we can see with the cubes they both have a 10 but 11 has 1 extra, where as 15 has 5 extra. We…

Sunflowers have been exploring this week the number zero. 

We have been working hard in Team Starlings this week, looking at equivalent fractions! We have been ordering fractions with mixed denominators, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, and putting fractions onto a number line. If you're looking for someone to help you equally divide up the…
