UNCRC Article 29 – goals of education
Today the whole school took part in a fun filled afternoon of Maths activities – they really enjoyed being taught by different teachers for different sessions and it was great for all of the adults to see the progression of skills in Maths as the children move from EYFS right the way to Year 6!
Mrs Morton had lots of fun working with Class 2 and Class 3 – they were looking at place value and subitising with different foods before solving some challenging conceptual problems in differentiated groups 🙂
Mrs Aspinall enjoyed working with Class 1 and Class 4. Class 1 worked hard on counting out objects and discussing which group had more or less. They were very good at using the mathematical vocabulary. Class 4 worked on multiplication skills and played different games to show off all that they know. Mrs Aspinall was super impressed with their fast mental maths skills. Well done!
Miss Grimes enjoyed working with class 5 and class 1. Class 5 worked hard to solve tricky word problems in their pairs, using lots of different methods. They worked as a team to solve them and then checked their answers. Class 1 counted to 3 using chocolate to help them and then sang a lovely number nursery rhyme.
Mr Graham enjoyed working with Class 2 and 3 with their Maths; we looked at calculations to 50 using a variation of ways to solve conceptual problems. We really enhanced our application skills by explaining our mathematical thinking to our friends by showing them how we solved our problems. Well done everyone – Rights Respecting Gold ethos demonstrated by all.
