This morning we have been very active in our maths. We are just starting a block on addition and subtraction so have played games to revise our mental maths skills and refresh number bonds. By keeping these strong, we will be able to apply our learning to bigger sums.
In this game, each cone had a value (not that we knew that until the race was over!)We had to relay with our partners to collect cones, when the time was up, each colour of cone was given a value, we then had to add the totals of our cones up to see who won it’s the highest score.
Yesterday we looked at equivalent fractions and what makes them equivalent. Today we learnt more about fractions and played fraction games.
It has been lovely to see everyone again. It has been great to have some nice weather too and to start out Enterprise project.Today the weather was so nice that we went outside for reading time and we started our fractions topic by drawing house fraction walls.
This morning we had a fantastic coding session with DYW. There were lots of difficult instructions to follow but we made it. We made a game where the shark had to try to dodge plastic and catch fish.
Today as a treat for working hard in maths this term, Ms Scanlan gave the class some more problem solving games. It was great fun, the P6/7 s are so good at giving everything a go and concentrating hard on finding solutions.
Everyone was really engaged and enjoying the problem solving today. Lovely to see the effort going into solving all the different puzzles. We’ll done P6/7!
We have had another busy and varied week. We have started our ‘Changing Me’ topic and on Friday had a look at the reproductive process in plants. We had drama with Izzy again and we’re finding out about Shetland stories to retell. We have been developing our map skills and this week looked at angles, bearings and coordinates. In our topic we are thinking about ‘Places that make us happy’ and we’ll be presenting all that information soon. In French we are learning how to describe ‘Ma famille’.
