This week in our ‘Light Up The World’ theme we have been looking at light and dark; what creates a shadow and how shadows change over time. The children have measured shadows throughout the day, made their own shadow puppets and figured out that a solid object does not let light through and that is how a shadow is formed. They had great fun using the torches to create big and small shadows.
In Maths this week we have been looking at position and direction. We used lots of mathematical vocabulary to describe where we were or give our friends directions. We know full turn, half turn, 3/4 turn and 1/4 turn. We then moved onto forwards, backwards, left and right. We had great fun directing our friends around the classroom, completing dances that included directions for us to follow and, possibly the most fun of all
……we programmed a Beebot with directions to arrive at a given destination!
In 1 Blue this week as part of our math’s learning we have been recognising and finding a quarter of a shape and a quantity. The children have worked practically in pairs to find quarters .They have linked their learning to last week in math’s where they worked on recognising and finding a half.
In Maths this week we have been looking at halving. We were able to spot half an object or a shape, create our own half shapes and half quantities. We are fantastic at halving numbers using ladybird wings to support us.
What an amazing week we have had celebrating the Coronation. We made ‘natural crowns’, decorated tiles, created loose part crowns, red white and blue patterns, built palaces and so much more! Today we had a party outside and it was sunny!
This week we have been measuring using objects, scales and rulers. We have been estimating how heavy, light, tall or short our chosen objects were. We even used a ruler and were able to measure using centimetres and half centimetres! It was great fun using the resources and finding out if our estimates were correct.
This week we have read the Easter story and then used story stones to sequence it. We have made transient art Easter bunnies and eggs, used eggs to create number bonds of 10, bunny baskets and Easter nests and cards. We also used paint outside to create Easter eggs and wrote some amazing Easter captions, what a busy week 🐇❤️🥚🐇❤️🥚
This week we have been working with number bonds to 10. We used various concrete objects to support our learning. We investigated various numbers and looked at their number bonds. Skittles, bean bags, numicon, aliens and so many other ways! Ask us some of our number bonds if you see us!
3 Red had fun investigating equivalent fractions in maths today. We used the fraction parts to find different equivalents to unit and non-unit fractions.
