KS2 Disco Divas!

KS2 children had a blast at our Valentine’s Day Disco yesterday – lots of hotdogs, dancing and sweets were enjoyed by all 🙂 Mr Mumby took to the decks and by children’s request, the highly acclaimed tune – ‘Sigma Boy’ – had the school hall jumping like never before!

Maths Orienteering with Crew Overson

A big thank you to Mr Overson’s crew for allowing Crew Ambler to lead a maths orienteering activity as part of maths week. We hope you really enjoyed it and we can’t wait to do something similar in the future!

Crew Ambler – We are artists

Thank you to all the adults that joined us this morning for Family Learning. The children were amazing at showing the adults the grid method that we have been using to support us with our artwork. The children will be continue to draft and improve their artwork in our expedition lessons as we work towards creating our final drafts of Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks and Emmeline Pankhurst, which will form part of the Y5/6 product.

Parents and carers will be able to meet and collect children from the school hall. We look forward to seeing everyone!

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

  • 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.
