Spring week 5

Spring Week 5 

This week we have continued to look at the Wright Brothers and the first plane flight. We have been inventors and tried to get our plane to go the furthest. We thought about size, shape and design. 

Thank you to everyone that came to our maths cafe for NSPCC number day. We loved sharing our learning with you. We will be using our bead strings in our maths lessons this year. This week we have been focusing on subtraction. We have thought about crossing the tens boundary. For example 43-36= (we have to exchange a ten for ones to be able to subtract 6 from 4) We have used base ten to do this.

For NSPCC number day we made chocolate cakes today. We measured out the ingredients and I have to say Green class are AWESOME cooks! 

On Friday afternoon for number day we completed a maths question relay. We worked in groups of 4 in our house teams. We had to complete 6 rounds. Round 1- addition, round 2-subtraction, round 3-riddles, round 4- balancing scales, round 5-place value, round 6 -tallest tower using newspaper and masking tape. 

 Thank you to all the children and adults for raising money for the NSPCC by the donations and cake sale. I will inform you of the total once it has been counted :)

Next week: Local walk Monday 9am, if you are able to help walk please let us know.
