Children in KS1 have been working and getting smart exploring place value in arithmetic this week. We’Ve counted forwards, backwards, ordered numbers, completed number lines, the list is endless! Our magical mathematicians have been working so hard 🧮
This week we’re continuing our work with fractions. It’s great seeing everyone working hard to get smart but the standout praise is for how well we support each other if we’re struggling!
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.
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!
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! 🙂
In one of the LKS2 maths groups, we have been working really hard on Place Value, understanding how many tens and ones there are in a number. This young man has worked so hard and is feeling very proud of himself. We are all very proud of you!
Crew Shields have really had to engage their brains this morning in Maths as we tackled some sums that required more than one exchange. This was made a little trickier especially when there was a zero in the number because we have to exchange from another column. Despite being tricky for a Friday morning, it didn’t faze them and they have given it 100% as always. Great effort everyone!
Crew Godley mathematicians have been busy comparing numbers and exploring the language ‘greater than, less than and equals too’. We’ve used our crocodile 🐊 hands to help us.
KS1 have been working hard, to get smart in maths. We been exploring place value and how numbers in the number system get bigger and smaller.
