Maths Week Challenge 3

What does 100 look like?

Choose a random object from your house and count out 100! Will you choose to count 100 pasta pieces, 100 pieces of cereal of even 100 socks!? Be as creative as you want to be and let’s see what 100 looks like!

If you can, put your 100 items in a bag and fetch them to show your teachers! Remember you can always send photographs to your teachers or to [email protected]

Some more examples might include:

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Maths Week Challenge 2

Choose one (or more!) of the challenges below to complete at home this week! Don’t forget to get the whole family involved! If your child is in EYFS, please choose some of the activities from the ‘Year 1 and 2’ document 🙂

Remember to send any pictures to [email protected] or to your teachers. We can’t wait to see all of the maths around your home!

Maths Week Challenge 1

Work together to see how many maths words you can think of for each letter of the alphabet! I’ll let you into a secret … J is a very tricky letter so I’ll be super impressed if anyone thinks of a maths word starting with J!

Please send your responses to [email protected] and / or bring them in to show your teachers!

We can’t wait to see how many words you come up with and who has the most creative words!

Geography Club!

We are loving Geography club. This is our 3rd week. So far the children have told me in some discussion activities what they think Geography is about, then the children did some research and had to make a poster answering the question ‘What is Geography?’.

Today, we looked at the Earth and discussed what we think it’s like on the inside, some thought it was all liquid, some thought it might be spongy. We found out that it is actually made in layers and these layers are all made of different things! Here they are making a collage model of their learning this week. And they did a fabulous job! We can’t wait for next week!

Class 11 peer critique! 📝

Yesterday, Class 11 critiqued each others scientific reports. We worked collaboratively to ensure that our feedback was specific and accurate to push each others learning on. Here we are in action!

Keep an eye out when we’ll pick our favourite pieces of work and some of the most beautiful!

Year 3/4 Extended Study

Please find the extended study attached the menu for Year 3/4 (previously homework menu).

We are looking forward to seeing all of your hard work! As always, if there is something you want to do that isn’t on the menu please do it anyway! We would love to see!

Don’t forget – keep taking your books home and reading to improve your AR data, and keep practising those times tables!

Conductors and insulators! 🔋💡

In Class 11, we’re becoming experts in making circuits, so we decided to challenge ourselves even more by adding different materials to our circuits. This included rubbers, rulers, paper clips and scissors. We predicted that, if the material is made out of metal, it will conduct the electricity and complete a circuit to make the bulb light up. If it was made of plastic or other non-metallic materials, it was an insulator, because the electrical flow would be prevented. We were correct! See Class 11 below in full science mode:
