Last week we were practising our place value knowledge.  We used place value arrow cards to show the difference between thousands, hundreds, tens and units.  We know that a zero is really really important.  It holds a space that has no value for example 5306…. If zero wasn’t there, the number would be 536 which is completely different! We also started talking about and looking at 5 digit numbers!

We received a letter from Joe from super sports suite. We had to create a price list for at his reception in his gym. There had to be a goods side and a service side (goods means something you can buy and keep and services are like swimming and gym.) We had to think up reasonable prices for each thing. We had loads of fun making and decorating our price list for Joes shop. Here are a couple of finished ones….more photos to follow!

Last term we were learning about 3D object. We learned about corners, edges and faces. We learned how to make 3D objects from nets and how to create 3D skeletons.
