Year 2 Maths - Making Equal Groups
We have been working super hard this week in Maths! We have been making equal groups by grouping and sharing. Our team here in Year 2 have been amazing at demonstrating that practice makes progress! Well done.
Nursery - Maths - Using Size And Number Language
During maths this week we have been working on number language and understanding size. The children played a game together, hiding golden coins under different sized cups. The only clue they could give to their friends, to help find the coins, was the size of the cup they were hidden under. The children worked really hard to identify the big, medium and small cups. Once the coins were found, the children were encouraged to count their coins, some children did this independently!
Reception - Maths - 6,7,8
This week the children have been developing their number sense this week, focussing on the numbers 6,7 and 8. We have been identifying, ordering and representing these numbers.
Year 3 Maths - Division With A Remainder

Pre-School- Maths- Match, Talk, Push and Pull
In maths this week we have been exploring shapes. We looked at basic 2D shapes and then some 3D shapes looking at what happens if we put them together to make a different shape or could we create a picture or object with them. Children used the 2D shapes to make houses, faces and even dinosaurs while other children used the 3D shapes to make towers or rockets.

Our fine motor focus this week has been threading! The children were provided with wooden dowels and big beads, their task, to fill up their dowels with various different shapes. This activity has been available for the children to explore all week and they have thoroughly enjoyed filling and emptying their dowels. Some children were able to use their maths knowledge to count their beads and also describe the shape and colour of each bead they used. Well done, nursery class.
Nursery - Maths - Positional Language
Linking with this weeks story, 'The three billy goats gruff', the children have been exploring a story set up while using selected positional language, 'on top' and 'under' to describe the position of the different characters. The children used their knowledge of the story to help them build on their understanding, they were able to place the troll under the bridge and vocalise 'under' they were also able to place the goats on top of the bridge and correctly identify their position.

The children selected their own fruit and vegetables and then counted them with 1:1 correspondance. We then asked the children to take one item out of each basket and as they did this they needed to count each item and then stop. We then moved to two and three items counting and stopping as we went. Children also counted in number sequence in this activity.
