Subitise

24th November 2025Elizabeth Frost

Subitising is a crucial skill children must master to be amazing mathematicians! Subitising involves looking at an amount and instantly knowing the numerical value for example; I can see 3 dots. In today’s game crew Frost has taken it in turns to role the dice from 1 to 3. When the dice lands on a number the children have to make their way across on the subitising cards that matches the number. To stretch and challenge we even added some cards with different colored dots! Well done crew Frost! You were so kind at taking turns and showing courage taking part in our new game!

Magic Mathematicians!

16th September 2025Laura Godley

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!

Crew Ramsay working hard in Mathematics

11th September 2025Kirsty Atherton

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

10th July 2025Laura Hamill

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.
