Some of us have been learning about PLACE VALUE in maths. We know that the value of a number is how much it is worth.  We know that the VALUE of a number depends on where it is PLACED.

“Units are the number at the right hand side and tens are at the left” – Iona

We have played lots of games and used ICT to help us learn.

“62, you would need to get 6 tens and 2 units” – Christopher

“If you had 99 it has 9 tens and 9 units” – Olivia

“We have learned about putting tens and units together to make another number – Archie

“I learned how to add units and tens together “ – Ava

We were able to use materials to help us show different amounts.

“The small things are units” – Cole

 

“If you had 49 cubes you would have 4 tens and 9 units” – Lily R

“76 you would need 7 tens and 6 units – Jole

“100 you have 10 tens and 0 units” – Ivy

 

“I know my left and right” – Olivia

“The right angle looks like a L” – Jessica

“I have learned about directions and the language we use is forward, left, right, above, below and backwards” Lily R

“A right angle is 90 degrees” – Iona

“I have leaned that right angles fit in rectangles, squares and some triangles” – Ava

“I have learned my left and right sides” – Nathan

“I have learned that when I am turning left and right, it is the same as a right angle turn! – Austin

“Right angles are in corners within our classroom. We found right angles on our table and our chair leg” – Christopher

We have a brand new wall display in P2a.

Here is a look at how we achieved these fantastic pieces of work!

Senses in Science 

  

We know there are 5 senses. We went round a station for each of the senses and wrote down ideas for what we might find in a haunted house!

“We were doing all 5 senses and we had to pretend that they were stuff in a haunted house” – Christopher

“We felt really wiggly snakes but it was actually spaghetti!” – Ava

” We tasted disgusting worms but it was really just sour sweets!” – Lily D

Descriptive writing

“We had to do the station and write down what we thought using WOW words like wiggly” – Archie

“After we had done the planning sheet, a few days later we wrote a poem about a haunted house. We cut and attached our haunted house to our poem” – Lily R

Painting 

“We were learning how to mix colours. We mixed white and blue and black” – Sydney

” By mixing white and blue you get a tint” – Joel

“If you mix black and blue it makes a shade” – Olivia

What we think

“I think mine is super great! – Cole

“I think my work looks good enough to win a prize!” – Iona

“I really like them all because I liked their wow words and what they thought. ” – Lily R

“I like my work because I did lots of wow words and I did very amazing words” – Ivy

“I’m proud of everybody because lots of people came into our class and said they’re really good!” – Ava
