Line graphs – 29/11/22

30th November 2022Ruth Shields

In Maths, we have been learning about statistics and in particular line graphs. Being able to draw an accurate line graph is quite a tricky skill to learn so we spent some time practicing how to draw line graphs. As part of this, we used varying number increments on the graph so children started to understand that they won’t always go up in 1s or 2s.

Terrific Tuesday

29th November 2022Hannah McLoughlin

Today we made a start on section 3 of our SLCs (which stands for student led conferences). This is so we can practise for January so we know what to say and are confident to present.

Next, we engaged in some active magic maths; we went around the class to answer consolidation fraction arithmetic questions which were stuck around the room. Watch us here in action…

We also started our CS3 computing, we learnt about coding and some interesting facts about binary (this is the language of computer systems).

We also fitted in some rehearsal practise so we felt ready for our presentation of learning on Thursday and to ensure it would be out of this world! – Connor

Arithmetic – decimals

15th November 2022Ruth Shields

In Maths, the children have been applying their addition and subtraction skills to decimal numbers. We discussed the importance of layout and how they need to remember the decimal point.

We then had another grouping with Mrs Rhodes who were looking at multiplying a decimal by 10, 100 and 1000.

Super mathematicians in Y1

Today we discovered if we work hard then it makes us feel so proud of ourselves. Today in maths I was so proud of our little crew 😊 We introduced addition and how we can use the part, whole, model to support this. obviously, working with smarties helped a lot 😋 The children blew me away with their language around addition, we’d remembered so much already after exploring this briefly last half term.

Multistep Maths

8th November 2022Ruth Shields

Oh the brains in Crew Shields were tested this morning. We have finished up our addition and subtraction unit with multistep problems. This is an area that children can find tricky as there is more to think about to ensure they arrive at the correct answer. It was great seeing them get stuck in and challenge themselves. Good job everyone!

A busy day in MI

7th November 2022Stacey McClare

We started our day with our caring curriculum in Crew. Here we thought about friendship and what makes a good friendship.

We also made a start on our non chronological reports in writing and started to think about our gravity sections. We thought about the subheading and built our sentences using our gold and green targets. Tomorrow we will finish our chunk 2 then edit and improve our work. We are also looking forward to building an interesting fact box which we hope will engage our reader further.

In maths we thought about mixed numbers and improper fractions and converted between both. We built an anchor chart together before applying to our books. We then looked at subtracting fractions!

Some great work in MI today! 🙂
