During our Year 2 Christmas Cafe, we read the story ‘The Christmas Jolly Postman’. Then we designed and made our own board games which included multiplication number sentences. It was great fun! Thank you to all the grown ups who came!

Maths in Year 5
Year 5 have enjoyed applying their learning with expanded multiplication and short division to written calculations this week, and have successfully investigated real world problems such as the price of grocery items. We have also begun to work with non-chronological reports in our English lessons, and have all taken on different responsibilities (manage, recorder, reporter, encourager) to collate key information from our model texts. We have just begun the autumn test cycle, so look forward to showing off what he have learned!
Learning the column method
In Maths this year we have been revising place value and using base 10 to look at how many tens and ones in a number. After this, our teachers have taught us how to add and subtract using the column method. It’s been tricky but with determination, we’ve been able to succeed!
Toy Cafe in Year 1
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent cafe in year 1. We read a copy of ‘Traction Man’ by Mini Grey, before creating our own superhero car using loo rolls, split pins and coloured card.
Year 1 Maths
In Maths the year 1 children have been working hard to begin to add up to 20 using various strategies. They have also had a go at problem solving through talk, our lesson involved describing or asking questions about a teddy bear for their partner to guess.
Art Rocks!
Art club used acrylic paint to decorate rocks they found in the school playground. See if you can spot them as we hide them in locations around Queen’s Hill.
If you find one, hide it in a new location for another person to find.
