A sunny start to the term!
MathsThis week, we have continued with our learning of mass and capacity. We began the week by recapping grams and kilograms and used this to compare different masses and reason the weight of different objects when the scales changed. Using our understanding and the column method, children added and subtracted different masses. Towards the end […]

MathsWe have been using our understanding of fractions to work out different values on a number line. Children have been able to work out the value of each interval after recognising the number of parts and identifying the number 1 as a whole. We then moved on to looking at equivalences on a number line […]

We have continued with our unit on length and perimeter. Children used their knowledge of millimetres, centimetres, and metres at the beginning of the week to work out equivalences. They then used their understanding of equivalences to compare different measurements. To begin with, it was quite easy when comparing lengths using the same unit Read More

MathsIn maths this week, we have been focusing on dividing with and without exchange. We began the week by dividing with exchange using the part-whole model to identify the different values, then using related calculations to work out the answers. We then continued our division journey, working through flexible partitioning, which involved moving the Read More
