STEM afternoon – Royal Society project
Year 5 were treated to a very exciting, hands-on afternoon today coordinated by Mr Magnall our sustainability lead and Aqua Consultants (engineers) as part of our 18-month Royal Society biodiversity project. The children worked on 4 projects across the afternoon: building hedgehog houses, bird boxes, insect hotels and composting. There was plenty of opportunity to get involved with the power drills, hammers and saws and the children were fantastic at following instructions and working collaboratively. Who knew there was so much Maths in building… from measuring, angles, shape, depth we discussed so much throughout the afternoon.
Exploring triangles and circles in Reception through Kandinsky
Reception have been very busy sorting triangles and circles in their Maths lessons. The children collaborated to create this fantastic Art piece inspired by the well known artist Wassily Kandinsky.
Getting hands on with our Maths in Year 3
Mrs Woodthorpe was very impressed with her Year 3 group this week who were working hard to get to grips with place value.
Another successful Maths Games Night for our EYFS and Year 1 children
We loved welcoming lots of families and children in this evening to play some Maths Games with us at games night. So many smiling faces and pride when they received their certificates at the end! We played lots of games with a focus on subitising, dice patterns, number bonds, part-part-wholes and measuring. Thank you to all those who came along!
