In Year 4 we have been creating night lights today as our D&T of this half term. We did some product research; considered our target audience and designed our prototypes. We then gathered our resources and got stuck in with feathers, beads, paper, card and paint!
Today, 12 amazing Mathematicians from Year 6 went with Mrs Tatam-Hall and Mrs Ebrahimi to Maths City in Leeds City Centre.
We had an incredible time exploring all their fantastic exhibits.
We worked together to build an enormous Leonardo dome which we were able to sit under and then destroy together!
Year 3 fought the good fight at the weekend making Allerton CE the top scoring school in Leeds for both Saturday and Sunday – congratulations Year 3!
Yesterday evening 12 children and their adults joined us to play some Maths games and have a cup of tea! We loved playing the hoop game, rolling long play dough sausages, drawing 10 lovely things and representing numbers in different ways. Maths at home doesn’t have to be tricky, boring or on worksheets!
4 of our Year 4 children spent the day at Ireland Wood Primary on Thursday working on their ‘Maths Magic’. With a focus on efficiency they were working on the quickest ways to get to the answer along with lots of puzzles and magic games. The children had a fantastic day and a big thank you to Mrs Howard for going with them!
We are so lucky to have 3 fantastic Maths and Chemistry students from the University of Leeds who are volunteering with groups of children across Key Stage 2. Our focus with these students has been to inspire and enrich the learning of those children needing challenge, particularly girls in those later years.
On Thursday evening, parents and children from Year 1 joined us in the school hall to play some games, have fun and hopefully take some ideas home with them! Thank you so much to those that joined us – we hope you had a lovely time!
This last week some of our strongest Mathematicians across Years 4-6 have been having a go at the first round of the Primary Maths Challenge. It’s been fantastic to see them really testing themselves in the face of tricky reasoning. Mrs Bentley has been kindly facilitating this.
Today in Maths to finish off our unit on Addition and Subtraction (for now…) we have been working in groups to solve some word problems or ‘number stories’ using the reasoning line to scaffold our thinking.
Riley in 4SH has produced an amazing first entry in his class’s Everyday Maths journal. With all the talk of a new monarch recently Riley clearly decided a trip to London was in order! See below for all his fantastic costings and inventory!
