'Focus on Maths' week

This week, the whole school have been focusing maths. 

This culminated in a whole school assembly where the children shared their learning with the rest of the pupils. 

  • Reception investigated number bonds and 2D shapes to construct pictures
  • Year 1/2 studied Katherine Johnson and her important work for NASA and maths occurring in nature
  • Year 3/4 looked at number sentences and arrays, along with showing their workings
  • Year 4/5 investigated the origins of tangrams
  • Year 5 looking at alternative ways of representing numbers to 60. 
  • Year 5/6 conducted maths investigations into the human impact on our oceans. 
  • Finally, Year 6 researched mathematicians such as Stephen Hawking and his work on black holes and some studied the Pythagoras Theorem. 

It was wonderful to see such a huge range of learning and it was fabulous to see the enthusiasm from the children.
