AMAZING Mathematicians!

21st March 2023Sophie Elmer

This week in our Achievers Assembly, we celebrated all of those Year 4s in school we have achieved 25/25 on the Multiplications Tables Check (MTC) that we complete weekly in school. These children have absolutely smashed it and have been able to correctly complete 25 questions in a record breaking 2 and a half minutes, some children even quicker! Massive congratulations to you all!

All Year 4 children will complete the National MTC test in June. For any children who have not yet passed they have the next 3 months to practise their timetables as much as they can! I know all staff in year 3/4 classes have planned lots of exciting activities to help children to learn these in the upcoming months! Hopefully as the weeks pass we will get to celebrate lots more of the children passing this test!

These websites are also helpful in helping children to learn their timestables: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button, https://ttrockstars.com and https://www.timestables.co.uk

Arithmetic progression in MI

21st March 2023Stacey McClare

Today children in MI completed an arithmetic paper. We have been working so hard on all areas of arithmetic ensuring we are thinking about the methods we need to use. I am blown away by the results today and scores are reflecting the hard work MI are putting in. It is so lovely to see children’s faces when they have shown improvements and it is also fantastic to see children applying all the skills that they have been taught. I am so proud of you all, keep up the hard work 🙂

MI maths learning

20th March 2023Stacey McClare

We explored patterns and fractions in our magic maths lesson then we moved onto capacity in our main maths lesson. We converted between ml and L when answering questions and used our knowledge of dividing and multiplying by 1000 to help us with this. There was lots of great collaboration throughout the lesson today, great work MI 🙂

LKS2 – Measuring

2nd March 2023Catherine Flaherty

Last week, the children in LKS2 worked incredibly hard to measure the length of different objects around the classroom. The children actively participated and remembered to start measuring at 0cm. Some children were even able to measure to the nearest mm. Well done everyone!

Exploring capacity!

2nd March 2023A Welburn

Last week in Crew Welburn, we were exploring capacity! We used new vocabulary to describe how much water was in the containers and compared how much each container could hold. We had lots of fun!

They’re empty!
The jug holds more water than the cup!
I can fit 2 cups into the tube.
My jug can fit more in than my cup.
My tube is nearly empty!
My cup is full!
My jug is nearly empty.
My cup is half full.

Maths – Fractions

2nd March 2023Ruth Shields

This morning in Maths we have had some time to really focus on equivalent fractions. We used Mymaths which allowed us to work at our own pace through the lesson before completing the online homework. This has helped children to really think about the process when finding equivalent fractions. Do we need to multiply or divide? Have we remembered to use the same operation on the denominator and the numerator?

Using a scale factor in maths in MI

20th February 2023Stacey McClare

Today we continued our work on ratio by looking at how we use a scale factor to enlarge shapes. Great work today MI, such positive attitudes throughout. You also supported each other to achieve by working collaboratively. Fab Howls this morning 🙂
