Maths Week!

9th November 2021Simon Gerrard

Today, we have been working on our maths. We started the session by recapping shapes in Magic Maths. This tested our knowledge on equal sided shapes, name shapes and how many we could see in a picture!

Then we worked on multiplication. We recapped the language, such as repeated addition, groups of and multiplied by so that we felt comfortable with returning to multiplication, before we take the next step. This is really important and we were super stars with it today, during our practical lesson! Check out some images below:

What a busy start to our week, celebrating everything great about maths 🧮 🧠 

We have kick-started our active maths by investigating place value and number facts to solve problems. The crew agreed on an ‘Activity Challenge’. Our favourite was how many ⭐️ jumps can you do in 1 minute ⏱ ? Jake achieved 75! We estimated, counted our actual, recorded and discussed positions 🥇. So many skills involved 🧠

This week, sees our Walkathon 🏃‍♀️ event taplace. We have our fingers crossed for good weather so that we can complete our 100 laps and have some fun in the process. Please could we ask that any sponsor money be sent to school this week.

Have a great week everyone ☺️

Maths week Crew Fox

8th November 2021Olivia Fox

This morning, we kick started maths week with a times tables game 🧠 – around the world 🌎! We have also been playing times tables fizz buzz focusing on replacing multiples of 3 with ‘fizz’ and multiples of 5 with ‘buzz’ – this challenged our brain power 🧠. Tomorrow we will be playing kahoot quizzes 📱 to challenge our arithmetic skills!

Maths week in Crew Mcloughlin

8th November 2021Hannah McLoughlin

Maths week has commenced in Crew Mc. So besides working hard in our daily maths lesson today we started the morning off with a maths Crew! This involved a kahoot quiz, because who doesn’t love a kahoot quiz and to compete against their peers. We have started today by consolidating place value learning from last half term. The hard work definitely paid off from last term as our winning team only got 2 questions wrong – they blamed the quiz for no full marks as that must have been wrong 🤔 Check our tense facial expressions below ⬇️

  • Shout out to Amelia for completing magic maths, then off her own back completing a 2digit x 2digit multiplication ready for the lesson – Get smart superstar! No time wasted – taking every get smart opportunity she can!🤩

Crew Shields – 8/11/21

8th November 2021Ruth Shields

Maths has been a brain teaser today as the children have been tackling worded problems. This has not only been practicing their maths knowledge but also their reading/comprehension.

It was lovely seeing the children working together and supporting each other. They were starting to pull their knowledge of mathematical language in to help them decide on the operation needed to solve the problem.

Maths Week in Crew MI

8th November 2021Stacey McClare

What a start to maths week! We had a fab magic maths lesson today looking at our 8 times table. We used a counting stick to chant out loud, we worked against other tables chanting and we had competitions between the boys and girls. We then worked with our partner to complete a true and false activity. We then moved onto looking at the biggest and smallest number, selecting the correct answers from groups of numbers. We used our knowledge on place value to do this. Our final activity looked at using a written method for multiplication. We multiplied a 4 digit number by a 1 digit number and some children moved onto multiplying a 2 digit number by another 2 digit number. A super start to maths week! We are all looking forward to setting up our own grocery shop tomorrow, adding and subtracting money and finding change.

Have a lovely evening, see you all tomorrow!

Crew Welburn’s magical maths!

8th November 2021A Welburn

What a start to maths week! We had so much fun exploring part whole models in today’s lesson and applying this to our fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions! We worked really well together to solve all of our problems. Come back tomorrow to see what else we’ve been up to!

Magical maths in Crew Welburn

16th September 2021A Welburn

Crew Welburn have spent the morning practicing their maths skills. We’ve been using manipulative objects to make numbers, to match objects to numbers and to order representations of numbers. Not only have we been working on our maths skills, but we’ve also been working in mini crews to build relationships, and to work on our sharing, listening and communication skills. We’ve had loads of fun and our HOWL scores were fantastic as a result!


Crew Longley Maths Week

9th May 2021Stuart Longley

Thank you for your support this week. We have worked really hard on our maths skills and had a little fun along the way!

I have loved seeing people measuring 100g, counting 100 and finding fractions.

We have been working on dividing and fractions this week. We have thought about numerators, denominators and finding unit and non-unit fractions.

On Friday, we took on our biggest challenge of the week. We were set the challenge of doubling the size of a crew mate. We had to. Work on our measurement and doubling skills.


We even found time for a little visitor, as a reward for meeting our HoWL ME’s.
