Nathional Maths Week

Successful Learners/ Confident Individuals

We’ve had a busy week, enjoying taking part in maths and number activities everyday to celebrate National Maths Week. During morning group, we took turns to complete some maths tasks on the board and during the day we included other maths related activities, including measuring ourselves with lollysticks, collecting stones and sticks and putting them in size order and we even made numbers from sticks. We played a shape game and had to try and make our bodies look like the shapes shown. As part of our IDL topic, we weighed different vegetables and predicted which would be heavier/lighter. We also worked hard working out the missing number in addition calculations.

Phew! Well done, Asteroids!

The Asteroids have had lots of fun as they baked their MacMillan cupcakes. They were very confident when gathering the ingredients using the recipe and they loved cracking the egg and stirring the mixture. The boys chose which colour of cupcake case they wanted and were able to sign or say some of the key ingredients and processes.

They then had great fun making three different colours of icing. They enjoyed squirting in the different food colouring and watching what happened to the white icing when they added the colouring. The boys chose which colours to ice their cupcakes from the MacMillan Cancer charity colours – white, green and purple. Most of them opted for using all three!

They all enjoyed eating their cupcakes for afternoon snack!

The boys also enjoyed making a large cupcake to stick on the classroom door and Percy Pig noses to wear when getting our photos taken as Percy Pig.

Confident Individuals/Successful Learners

The Asteroids class had lots of culinary fun this week as we made our own Asteroid- style vegetable soup. We explored the vegetables first by touching and smelling them, then following our recipe cards, we had to wash them, ready to be chopped to go in the pot. We were all responsible and handled the knife sensibly to chop up the different vegetables. We found the onions the smelliest of all! Next we measured water into a jug, then crumbled a stock cube in. We all enjoyed mixing the vegetables in the big pot before Miss Wilson cooked it. When the soup was ready we enjoyed smelling and looking at our finished dish. Good job, Asteroids!
