Little Library Club was lots of fun yesterday. We read a story about slimy slime creatures and thought about some slimy things that we might see at home. The children thought of snails, slimy soap, slippery jelly and gooey baked beans. We then had a go at making our own slime creatures out of Play-Doh. Everyone had a great time …

The children in Year 1 worked in groups to play ‘Material Snap’. They looked around the room for something that is made from the material card they picked. The children then created their own song all about materials to the tune Fere Jacques.

Today, we created an algorithm (a precise set of instructions or rules to achieve an outcome or solve a problem) to instruct a pretend robot (Mrs Kharko) to make a jam sandwich. Some of us had some very funny looking jam sandwiches. We then discussed what happens if the instructions aren’t precise enough.  

Year 1 completed lots of subtraction challenges today, using number lines, part-whole models and tens frames. They really enjoyed working together to complete the challenges.

Year 5 have enjoyed problem solving using multiplicative reasoning. It sounds really complicated but it means using our understanding of multiplication to solve real life problems.
