We have been very busy in maths focusing on division strategies as well as telling the time and representing times.

We continue to work on our own ‘good fit levels’ in maths knowing which division and times table problems we each focus on as well as whether we are working on telling times to the hour, half hour, quarter past or quarter to the hour.

Check out Topmarks for fantastic multiplication, division and time games:

Hit the button and stop the clock are two we are working on in class 🙂

This week the children worked on preparing their Celtic power point presentations with a partner. They focused on key speaking and listening skills:

• Speaking loudly, clearly, with expression
• Using a presenting body – facing forwards, eye contact, using gestures to point, show their Celtic weapon and jewellery models
• Showing they were able to answer questions from the audience

The presenters were able to show just HOW MUCH knowledge they have gained about Celts and where they got their research and evidence from.
