Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words.

  • Blue Vowels
  • Vowel Circle

Triangle Dance

We were pretty chilly outside when we were doing our measuring activity so to keep warm whilst the last few children completed their job, we decided to try out the new Triangle Dance!!! We had lots of fun giving it a go!, Finn and Alfie were definite naturals!

 

How Far Can You Jump??

Today we went outside to measure how far we can jump! We started by marking where we had to jump from and using one metre stick to measure how far to the nearest tenth of a metre! We then had to mark one metre and from that mark, measure what fraction of a metre more. Some of us were pretty impressed with the distance we could travel!

 

Measuring Metres in Maths

Today we were using metre sticks to illustrate the length of some people’s jumps in our Maths question today. Some of the boys and girls in our class tried to see if they could jump as far as they could!!!!! We used metre sticks to measure the length of various items around the classroom to the nearest tenth of a metre. For example 1.6m
