This week in class six we have been immersed in the Christmas spirit, even in our maths lessons. Today we have been helping Santa sorting presents into different groups depending on their shape.
Maths Courage
I’ve been so impressed this morning with children showing their Maths courage and modelling our subtraction methods to the whole class. Lots of respectful agreeing and disagreeing to make sure we all arrived at the correct answer.

Craftsmanship and Quality in Maths
We have been looking for craftsmanship and quality in Maths today – Class 5 did not disappoint! The effort and concentration the children put into completing some subtraction problems using number lines was fantastic to see. We quickly discovered that for our strategy to work we needed to really think about our presentation and create some beautiful Maths.
Look how proud we are!
Grappling in Maths
I was blown away in Maths – lots of us found it tricky but by working together we got there in the end! We even had some people feeling so confident they modelled their methods to the whole class!
Super work ⭐️
Collaboration in Maths
Class Five have been busy solving problems together. Super communication skills – well done everyone.

Thoughtful Thursday
We spent our Thoughtful Thursday celebrating Maths Week 2024. We shared work we are proud of from our maths books and then grappled over some problems together!
Class Six Write On Tables
This week Class Six have been thinking all about subtraction in Maths. To finish off the week we did a super fun activity writing on the tables.
Subtraction in Maths
We have been busy in maths generating our own number sentences to calculate the answers. Super job class 5 x
Kindness makes us stronger!
Last week Nursery were focusing on a text called “Kindess Makes Us Strong” by Sophie Beer as part of our continuing case study “What do stories tell us about being kind?”. Our Kindess Elves brought Nursery another present… but this time it wasn’t the story book! They brought “Kindness Juice” for us all to share! As we read through the story, we realised that “Kindness is a refreshing drink”. We all enjoyed our “fruity” juice together and were very thankful to the elves.
Nursery looked back over our mind maps and thought about what we have learned about ways in which we could be kind. We made our own Kindness Signs which shared our thoughts. Aren’t they beautiful…
We also had lots of fun creating friendship bracelets out of pipe cleaners and beads. We worked hard threading the beads on to the pipe cleaners, counting out up to 10 beads as we threaded them on. We were very kind and gave our bracelets to our friends or took them home for someone special. I wonder if you received one?
We really do have kind hands and hearts! Well Done Nursery.
Counting Collections
The children have blown me away with their mathematical thinking skills in our very first counting collections session of the year! They worked beautifully in pairs, listening to one another and taking turns. Here we are in action…
