Shapes

For our maths learning this week we have been learning about 2D shapes. As well as learning their names and properties we have been hunting for shapes all around us too. Which shapes can you find at home? 

We have also been playing shape dominoes.

Forest School

We had our first visit to the new Forest School area yesterday. We used natural materials to make pictures, build dens, hunted for shapes and explored each of the separate areas too. At the end we had a circle time to talk about what we liked best. We made sure to talk in full sentences too.

Jack and the Beanstalk

We loved the performance of Jack and the Beanstalk, it was so funny! Who was your favourite character? 

Outdoor Classroom Day

Last Thursday we took our phonics learning outside as part of Outdoor Classroom Day. We loved practicing our sounds outside and writing them on the floor in chalk.

Diwali

We have explored Diwali and thought how people celebrate this time of year. We looked at Rangoli patterns, sweets form India and tried on a beautiful sari. 

Can you remember how people celebrate Diwali?

Adding and Subtracting

This week, Green Class have been practising adding and taking away in lots of different ways.

Can you practise adding and taking away at home?

Partitioning

Today, we did some of our maths learning outside. We worked in pairs to partition numbers. 

We had to run and pick a number from a hoop. After that we had to work it out. We then had to run and get the right amount of tens and ones. 

Can you partition some numbers at home? Who is quickest out of your family at partitioning?

The Plague

In our topic lessons we have started looking at the Plague in Eyam. Can you have a listen to the following clips at home? Can you talk about what you know about it?

Maths Investigation

We have been investigating different problems using number lines in partners. We had to discuss with out partner why we thought our answer was correct and what we had done. 

I jumped on....because....
I know the answer is.....because.

We then had to find out the secret jumps, such as: Miss Stanley makes a jump of 5 and then a secret jump. She lands on 12. How much was her secret jump?

Can you write some of your own?
