This week the children have begun maths! In our first session we are focusing on the number 1, here we have learnt how to say it, write it, and show it! Well done Crew Frost we cannot wait to subtilize next using our fast maths eyes!
Speed Number!

Magic Mathematicians!
Today in maths, we have been exploring place value with numbers up to 10,000. Crew Godley worked hard to read, write, and partition large numbers, showing great resilience when faced with tricky challenges. I am so proud of the determination and focus they showed as they deepened their understanding of number!
Maths + manipulative = success
I was so proud of my maths group today, they showed determination to complete their own work independently using the concrete resources available. Well done everyone!
Crew Ramsay working hard in Mathematics
We have been mastering the skill of writing numbers in both digits and words. We also had to use our phonics skills in Maths today in order to support us to ‘Get Smart’. For some of us, we also had to show perseverance as it was a little bit tricky at times. But everyone worked hard to try and complete the task. We demonstrated to Mrs Atherton that at our school we never give up, we work hard to support one another using things such as the working walls to help.
Times Table Carousel
This week, our crew has taken part in a times table carousel, taking part in four different activities: times table stick, TT Rock Stars Battle, heat map challenge with a friend (testing their friends knowledge on any times tables that are not green) and a times table worksheet. We began in one group and then moved around the room to take part in each challenge.
How is the volume of sound made affected by the distance a rubber band is pulled back?
In expedition, we conducted an experiment to investigate how the volume of sound made is affected by the distance a rubber band is pulled back. We placed a rubber band around the carboard box and pulled it back different distances. We measured the sound it made using a sound meter. We then recorded these results in a table. We concluded that when the rubber band was pulled back further, it was louder. This was because the vibrations were larger. When the distance was shorter, it made a quieter sound. This was because the vibrations were smaller. We then used the results to draw a line graph. We used our recent maths knowledge (statistics) to help us figure out the scales for the axis. We were really resilient doing this and had some great line graphs!
Year 1s Human Clock
Today Crew Marsh have been learning how to tell the time, in particular o’clock and half past. They worked extremely hard using their own clocks to answer the questions in lesson and then we decided to challenge ourselves to create the time shown on a clock by using our bodies to represent the clock, the hour hand and the minute hand. Time really does fly when you’re having fun!
Timestables in MT
We love working on our timestables in MT 🙂
5 Green Bottles.
This week during maths we did the 5 green bottles activity. The children waited for their turn to pour the bottle away, whilst we focused on number recognition and counting backwards from 5-1. The children enjoyed making a big splash!
Symmetrical patterns in MT
Today we used our knowledge from yesterday on lines of symmetry to complete a range of symmetrical patterns. We did find this challenging, however we showed great resilience and supported each other throughout our lesson. We will continue to practise this skill tomorrow.
