Maths Cafe and telling the time


The Tigers and the Rising 5s enjoyed more number fun this week during the maths cafe on Tuesday morning. After listening to the story of Spinderella we were set different challenges to work out how many football boots were needed for teams of different animals. We made excellent use of various resources to help us solve the problems including counters, cubes and dienes. 

On Wednesday the Tigers were learning all about telling the time. We learnt about how many minutes are in an hour and how many hours are in a day. The children made their own clocks with moving hands, which needed super scissor control, and also rolled play dough to make hands for the laminated clock faces.

Christmas Craft Cafe

On Friday 30th November 2018 we held a Christmas Craft cafe where families were invited to join us to make crafts to be sold at the Christmas fair. The Tigers and Cubs made bauble sun catchers, stockings, bead wreaths and Christmas tree decorations.  We all worked really hard and made lots of money for our fantastic school.

Marvellous Maths

The children have really been challenging themselves this week, solving different maths problems using a wide range of resources. Some children have developed their division skills through sharing cones between 2 hoops (and even trying to share an odd number). Alongside this another group developed their counting and addition skills, finding out how many in total. Super work Tigers and Cubs!

World Book Day

Today was World Book Day and we celebrated in style. Many of us dressed up as book characters and we looked absolutely fantastic! We joined with our friends in the Lions' Class and completed a carousel of activities based on what the ladybird heard. We drew maps, iced ladybird biscuits and even hunted for ladybirds!
