Magical Maths

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.

Year 3-6 football tournament! ⚽️

What a great afternoon, Years 3 to 6 have had at Campsmount for the football tournament. The boys gave their all in pretty poor weather and we didn’t let the wet weather dampen our spirits! Even though they did not get the results they wanted, the boys were fantastic. Their effort and humility was fantastic to see. After each game, they shook hands with their competitors and did not complain. You guys did myself and Mrs Rhodes proud. More importantly, you represented the school brilliantly. Keep going and you will continue to improve and get even better!

There were so many of our boys playing football for the first time today and they gave it their all. Seeing their enjoyment and happy smiles at the end was completely worth it. The fact that they enjoyed playing this wonderful game is amazing to see!

It was incredibly tricky to choose a player of the tournament for both the 3/4 and 5/6 teams. These were, Tommy M (Year 5) and Charlie S (Year 3). Both boys were impressive in the net and pulled off some fantastic saves. Our most improved players were Kaylum (Year 5) and Thomas O (Year 4). It was incredibly difficult to pick because of the fantastic displays throughout.

Check through our photos for the team spirit:

Keep an eye out for more tournament/competition updates and celebrations! 😆⚽️

Knowledge dump in MI

Today we thought about all the learning we had completed in case study one. We created a knowledge dump to help us to write our case study reflection. It was great to see how much we had remembered 🙂 Great work MI 🙂

Edit and redraft in MI

Yesterday, in our expeditionary learning, we took part in a critique session where we unpicked a crew members plot point. We offered praise, notices and wonders linking to our gold and green standards then used feedback to edit and redraft the piece. Today we worked on our our plot point where we tried to make it better. We thought about which of our gold standards needed more work and added this to our work when redrafting. We also really thought about green standard, trying to include this in our writing.

A carousel of maths in MI

Today we took part in a maths quiz in order to consolidate the arithmetic learning we have been doing. We rotated round a carousel of activities looking at both long and short division, long multiplication and adding and subtracting decimals. We worked hard by ensuring we had a positive attitude throughout, we got smart by supporting others to succeed by working collaboratively and we showed kindness by communicating with respect. A great maths lesson today MI 🙂
