Maths Week Activity 2!

Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?

Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?

Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?

Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!

Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!

Maths Week 2025- Challenge 1

Maths Week 2025 is here, and we’re kicking things off with an exciting home learning challenge! This is your chance to get creative, have fun with numbers, and showcase your mathematical thinking.

For our first home learning challenge, we’d like you to choose a number and create a poster displaying different ways to represent it. You can show your number using:

  • Numerals (e.g. 7)
  • Words (e.g. seven)
  • Pictures (e.g. seven stars)
  • Number sentences (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7)
  • Arrays
  • Tally marks
  • Money
  • Anything else creative!

How to Take Part

  1. Choose a number that inspires you.
  2. Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
  3. Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
  4. Submit your entry to Mr Mumby by Friday to take part in the challenge.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ‘Ways to Show a Number’ posters! Get your thinking caps on, grab your pencils, and start creating.

Happy Maths Week!

Year 6 spellings

Today we looked at the spelling of the following Y5/6 statutory words. All these words link to our expedition writing so the children will be practicing them over the next two weeks, to ensure when they use them in their written work they are spelt correctly.

government     individual                              

determined       prejudice 

community        opportunity

recognise          neighbour

Crew Knowles’ history lesson

We had a great history lesson last week analysis photos of historic events. I was so impressed with the prior knowledge that the children had and their ability to put the events on a timeline based on their knowledge.
