Equal Groups

This afternoon we have started to explore multiplication. We investigated making equal groups and explaining how many there were in each group. We used these STEM sentences to structure our thinking and created equal groups. 

There are ________________ equal groups.

There are ____________________ in each group.

There are _______________________ altogether.

Super Spellers!

In Green Class we have been doing lots of spelling practise including writing in sand, painting our key words and playing the beach ball spelling game!

What fun ways have you been practising your spellings at home?

Partitioning

Last week we were busy partitioning in maths. We were separating two digit numbers into tens and ones.

 

 

 

We used the part whole model and a tens and ones table to help us.

We also used numicon and base ten to show our partitioning.

Have a go at partitioning these numbers at home:

39

24

58

Showing off our Chocolates!

This afternoon Orange, Yellow and Turquoise class went into the hall to look at everyone's chocolates, packaging and their adverts. We wrote on post-it notes the things which we liked about the chocolates and we left these with the chocolate so that it would make the children who made the chocolates smile.

It was really fantastic to see everyone's creations and to give feedback. 

"I liked your chocolate because it was bright and colourful"

"I like is because it makes me want to eat it!"

"I liked this chocolate because it has a lot of crunchy biscuits"

"I like this chocolate because it is enticing and colouring"

PE Workshop

Green class were lucky enough to be involved in a special PE workshop on Thursday, where we did Archery! We learnt how to set up our bow and how to use our bunny fingers to pull back the elastic ready for firing!

Then we had a go at shooting at different targets. Some of us managed to hit the board on our first ever go! 

What other sports would you like to have a go at in our PE lessons?
