Is it full or is it empty?

13th February 2026N Sikka

Today in Math’s we focused on volume, we used various classroom objects to fill and empty different containers and used the associated vocabulary to describe the children’s findings. The children used their prediction skills to say how many objects would fill a container and then compared results.

The children understood that ‘the most important thing we need to know about volume is it is how much space something takes up.’

An extremely busy week in Reception. Lots of creativity, building, drawing and using our imagination to create stories! Great maths. Jobs combining groups and amounts. We had some fabulous independent writing, it is fabulous to see the children really using their Sounds Write skills! And this week lots of children pretending to be teachers which was amazing to watch and listen to 🤗⭐️👏🤗⭐️👏

 

2 Red’s Problem Solvers

26th January 2026lgeorgiou

A group of children in 2 Red stretched and challenged their mathematical brains this week while working out multi-step problems. They worked brilliantly on their new Problem Solving Mats to show what they know, model it and then work it out. Their resilience and effort was fantastic when learning this new way of working.

 

3D Shape!

16th January 2026N Sikka

This afternoon in 1 Red we revisited 3D shapes and talked about their properties and features.  We compared the shapes and looked at the similarities and differences.  The children were able to find many 3D shapes around the classroom environment and described what they noticed about them.
