Times Tables Learning
We have had lots of fun learning our times tables outside in the sunshine today. Lots of fun catching games are helping us to remember our times table facts.
Noticing skills
Today we learnt a new skill, similar to our ‘Stilling’ activity, called ‘Noticing’. It is based on the idea of taking time to recognise times of energy but also times we may feel hopeless. It allows us time to reflect on our day and build on the positives, finding a good balance and noticing the…
Fractions outdoors
Today we completed a scavenger hunt to answer questions about fractions, it was really fun to take our learning into the fresh air and we used lots of energy running to find each clue!

Mini Basketball
Today we brought together our passing, dribbling, shooting and defending skills to play mini basketball matches.

Outdoor ordering!
Today in Maths we were comparing numbers (up to 1000 for Y3 and up to 10,000 for Y4). We had different activities to complete in small groups such as ordering numbers in either ascending or descending order, finding the missing digits to make the number sentence correct and using digit cards to…
