Comparing numbers to 10

19th March 2024A Welburn

Crew MW have been working on making numbers to 10 and comparing them in maths today. We started by looking at the domino sets and telling our partners how many spots were on each side and how many we had altogether. We then compared the dominoes using the vocabulary, ‘more’, ‘less’, or ‘equal’.

Once we had practiced using our new vocabulary, we made numbers on our tens frames and used our vocabulary to compare how many we had. We’re getting really good at recognising how many counters are in our tens frame without counting them by grouping and using our number bonds. Well done Crew MW!

Today we started sketching out and creating our final draft for our mosaic. We are really enjoying creating our Easter cards 🙂 In maths we have been looking at lines of symmetry and symmetrical patterns and we are trying to apply our learning to our butterflies wings.

Art technique practice in MI

18th March 2024Stacey McClare

Firstly we recapped the techniques needed for mosaic art then we looked at and explored some of the images we will use as a stimulus for our own mosaic art pieces. We thought about which parts we needed to practise, which parts may be difficult to create and which equipment we may use. After modelling from the teacher on the different parts we started to apply to our practise paper. We then took part in a gallery walk thinking about what we could see, how other people’s work compares to our own, then we paired up with another crew member and offered some critique. Our exit ticket allowed us to think about what we would do differently next time when we complete the process again.
