This has been a very inspirational week. We worked hard on different maths and numeracy activities and enjoyed sharing these with some of our parents at Ninian’s Natter. The highlight for most of us was baking cupcakes. We were focussing on reading scales and weighing out the correct amount of ingredients.
Another activity that we enjoyed was getting the chance to play one another’s home-made maths games. We had board games, online games, physical games and quizzes.
We have had lots of opportunities to work in groups this week. One of the challenges was to make numbers 1-20 by only using the number 4 and the four processes. This was tricky!
We loved being part of the Sumdog competition set up for Inspirational Maths week.
We have taken a new approach to the daily mile which has proved to be a huge success so far. We now have to complete as many laps as possible and record the distance in miles ran as a class.
Hannah – ‘I liked creating a diamond in art using grid references.’
Emily – ‘I liked designing my own cupcake.’
Maliha – ‘I liked using number maps to share different strategies.’
Evie – ‘I liked completing the numbers to 20 challenge only using ‘4’.
Aoife – ‘I enjoyed improving my daily mile.’
Alekander + Aaron – ‘I liked making the icing to use on my cupcake.’
Mark – ‘I liked getting to eat my own cake that I made.’
Congratulations to this week’s lead learnes, Kasia and Kacper.
Have a good weekend, P4/5 and Miss Diamond :).
Love the big focus on maths this week and homework making a maths game was a great idea. Aoife told me its been her favourite week at school – you have one very happy pupil! It was nice to come in to the Natter and see what goals the children have set so far and see how much they have achieved. Well done to all!
Ninian’s natter was great, it was good to come along and see how the children are getting on so far. Thank you for your efforts and pulling the evening together.
I noticed Emily in particular loved the cupcake activity, what a surprise !
All the children appear to love the Maths week, that’s great that maths can be so much fun.
