Well done to Angelina and Bella who are this week’s winners of our Maths Problem Of The Week! Angelina used her reasoning skills to correctly identify the correct coin and Bella correctly identified a right angle from the clues. Well done girls and enjoy your pencils!
This week in maths we have been sharing and grouping. The children have done a fabulous job. They have problem solved, explained their reasons and ensured all groups are equal. They also shared sweets between themselves and their friends, again using their problem solving and reasoning skills throughout. Of course they ate the sweets after! Ask them to show you their skills at home.
Huge congratulations to all of the children in Year 4 who this week completed their Multiplication Check. The children were calm and confident and we have no doubt that as a year group they have performed superbly. Well done everyone!
Well done to Jacob for his stellar efforts to learn his times-tables! Not only has Jacob put a huge amount of effort into Times Tables Rockstars, he has also delved deeper into his knowledge of the 9x table, producing a quite brilliant list of the multiples of 9! Well done Jacob!
Today in maths we have been learning about durations. We know that a duration is how long something lasts for and that some events can last more than one hour. We used our previous skills and knowledge of reading an analogue and digital clock to work out the durations of different events. To help us, we used our mini analogue clocks. We are now time experts!
Today we have been learning about ordinal numbers and where we see them. The children agreed that they are mostly used in races so we decided to hold our own race morning where we awarded each other with the correct ordinal number. We had lots of fun!
Today in LMTW we have been learning about data inputting and why it is important in a business. We first started off with the question, ‘What is the most popular colour in 3 Blue?’ then we went and collected the data from the 28 children (and two teachers) in our class through a tally chart… which connects our learning to maths! We then inputted our data onto a spreadsheet and also created a bar chart to show us the results. From our results, we concluded that blue was the most popular colour in our class!
Huge congratulations to all of the children in Year 6 who completed their SATs this week.
The children took everything in their stride and worked hard to ‘Be The Best They Can Be‘ across all of the tests.
Well done everyone – you are true Navigators!
In maths this week we are looking at arrays and how they can help us with our group counting. We looked at the rows and columns and how we can use these to write a number sentence. We had a selection of arrays and worked together to write the column addition and the row addition.
In today’s Maths lesson, we used our problem solving skills to find different solutions to the ‘Next Door Numbers’ problem. We had to arrange number cards from 0 to 9 in a certain way so that no two consecutive numbers were next to each other horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
There were lots of different ways that we solved this problem. How many different ways can you find?
