What have you enjoyed learning about or taking part in this week?
Kiera – Learning our 3 times tables!
We having been using a decimetre to help learn our 3 times table, the children did a fantastic job and almost all of us are now confident in our 3 times table! 😀
Max – This week we have been learning about the phases of the moon.
Millie – We now know that there are 8 phases of the moon.
All – There is a crescent moon, a gibbous moon, a full moon, a half moon and a new moon.
Scott – We have been comparing the thickness of the string to help make our snowmen.
Mylah – We have been doing some tricky mental maths strategies –
Millie – partitioning –
Max – that means splitting the number up.
Example
Mylah – we break it down into tens and units and add them up
25 + 35
/ \ / \
20 5 30 5
20 + 30 = 50
5+5 = 10
50 + 10 = 60
This week we have been practising for our Christmas show and we did a great job.
