Today in maths we’ve been using equipment to add two numbers together. We’ve been focusing on the column method with exchange and how it works. Here’s a video of Karl concentrating so much he didn’t realise the video was being recorded – and yes, he was absolutely correct! Well done Karl 🙂
Today we’re learning to identify paragraphs so hopefully we will start using them in our written work! Mrs Royal gave us a gigantic paragraph that we had to read and work out where the paragraphs should be. We found it tricky at first but with a bit of teamwork we got there.
After that, we had to cut up the text into paragraphs and decide upon a subheading for each.
See what you think…

Dear Parents/guardians/Pupils,
all in Years 3,4,5 and 6 have home access to Mathletics. This is a very important tool in helping your child with their Maths. They can also compete against other pupils in Maths based games and create their own avatar.
All children have been given a login card and we would ask you to go on at home as much as possible. The teacher will assign you activities and you can also select activities for extra practice.
The program will show you how to do an activity if you press the i button – very useful for parents/carers to see as it is all matched to the curriculum we teach and the way we teach it.
Access is via a tablet or computer – even a phone but this can prove tricky with some of the activities.
There are regular certificates awarded plus a special award each week in assembly.
To all of our ALDI shoppers… Every time you spend over £30 in any Aldi store you’ll receive a Team GB sticker. Bring your stickers into school to help complete our poster. If we manage to fill the poster with 300 stickers the school will receive an exclusive sports kit and also have the chance to win £20000!
