Representing numbers!

In maths today, Crew MW have been listening carefully to the amount of sounds that they heard and counting these into their five frames. They used the objects to represent the numbers and talked about how many squares were full and how many were empty. I’m really impressed with how hard all of the children worked and how smart they were getting with representing their numbers!

Road safety week continues in MI

During our crew session this morning, we explored a variety of statements thinking about if they are true, false or both true and false. We worked well in mini crews to discuss our ideas. We then watched a clip that explored speed in more detail. We had some great discussions this morning 🙂

Shopping time in MI

Maths week fun in MI! We had to delay one of the activities from last week and we managed to complete this today! We explored money then went to our classroom shop where we added amounts together. What a fantastic lessons we had! During our debrief we looked at how we would calculate change!

Redrafting

Yesterday, we spent some time trying to do some redrafting with our independent write. This is a skill we find quite tricky but we showed more perseverance then we have done previously. This is a skill we will continue to develop as we move through year 4 so we are ready for year 5.

Super shadow puppets! 🔦

In expedition this afternoon we investigated how shadows change. First, we made our own puppets. Then, we started our investigation. We wanted to find out what happened when we moved the object closer or further away from the light source. We found out that when the object is closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger. When the object is moved further away from the light source, the shadow gets smaller.
