Month: April 2021

Today we worked in teams and played lots of games to explore all the different ways we can add numbers together. I think our favourite strategy is using friends of ten. The discussions we had together were brilliant and we all learned to listen and give everyone a go at trying to find a solution.

We started off the session today searching for pentagons and arranging ourselves into the shape of a pentagon. Some of us were surprised to learn that a pentagon doesn’t need to have equally lengthen sides to be a pentagon, just five straight sides and five corners.

 

After playtime we continued our work from last week on time. We matched digital times with analogue times as you can see in the photos below.

Today we re enforced our understanding of time and how to read a clock. We first made a giant clock using sticks, cones and a stone. We had turns at moving the hands round the clock to show how the minute hand goes right round the whole clock each hour while the hour hand only moves forward one number.

After that we made times on the big clock

Then  made little clocks and matched digital ana analogue times.
