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!
Today at Tykeoons club we have been learning about commodities, goods and services and we have been thinking about the value of these different things.
We also thought about the fact that there are things that money cant buy such as friends and happiness.
Tonight was the first meeting of our Year 3 ‘Business, Economics and Finance Club’ in Mrs Tatam-Hall’s classroom.
We were trying to understand the question ’What is Economics?’ through the concepts of scarcity and opportunity costs!
In Year 4 Maths this week we’ve been very busy getting to grips with our place value up to 10,000. We’ve been using Base 10, place value counters and blank counters to help us really get to grips with the value of different digits.
