Number sequences and rules, Complex  Partitioning, Greater Than, Less Than, Columns, Odd/Even, Split Strategy, Dienes, Arrowcards, Rounding, Numicon, Tens Frames, Expanding and Multiplication are just some of the strategies we used to show the value of a number in Number Talk.

All children have worked incredibly hard to secure their knowledge of these different strategies. This is through hard work, determination and perseverance.

This term in PE we are learning about team work and cooperation in different games and sports. The objective of this activity was in pairs, partner one will pull the hula hoop along the gym floor with a skipping rope whilst partner two runs inside it (without stepping on or outside of the hula hoop!). It was very tricky!! We had to think carefully about following the rules of the game and safety.

During Scots Week Miss Mackay took in her violin and played some traditional Scottish music to us. We listened carefully to the music and created an image inside of our heads. When the music played we thought of different memories we had. We drew these memories on paper and shared them with each other afterwards.

We also listened to Ava M play her violin. She regularly attends Big Noise after school club and is currently learning to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. We thought she did a fantastic job playing to the class – very courageous too!

Well done, Ava!
