Number Day Fun!
It's been all about numbers this Friday where our students, in order to raise money for the N.S.P.C.C, exhibited a fantastic display of number apparel like headbands, football shirts and more! The initiative for Number Day begins with the NSPCC fundraising for children in need, and we thank everyone who's made a contribution! Here's a peek into each class's Number Day fun, from our youngest students in our Nursery class, to our oldest in Year 6!
Year 2 and 3 took their maths learning to the ICT suite where they enjoyed playing interactive games on the computers, and worked together to solve maths mysteries!
Even our P.E. lessons this Friday comprised of counting-related activities, ensuring that all our students got into the Number Day spirit! Not only did our students enhance their physical strength during P.E. but also their mental capacity for solving maths problems in record time!
Our Year 3 students combined Maths and Literacy in the most creative way possible - writing number-centric stories easily-digestible for our Nursery class! From designing striking covers to writing the contents themselves, this was a fantastic way to explore all the curiosities that numbers can bring!
Snakes and Ladders, counting cards, sudokus and other fun number games were met with so much excitement from our Year 4 students, who enjoyed working in groups or pairs to complete brain-teasing challenges!
Year 5 - Beginning to Paint our Jugs!
You watched them design their ideas. You watched them apply mod roc. And now we present to you the beginning of Year 5 painting their Greek jugs. The Greeks were known for the intrinsic beauty and formation of their pottery designs, and it's been a great ride watching our Year 5 students slowly bring their replicas to life!
Year 2 - Castles Fit for Royalty!
The first stage of Year 2's castles are now complete! Using a variety of recycled materials like cardboard boxes, egg cartons, toilet roll tubes and anything they could scavenge from their homes, our Year 2 students built the foundations for what we know will be some great royal architecture! It's a fantastic way to bring the topic of Magnificent Monarchs to life, because one of the most prominent features of any ruler is their palace.
Year 1 - Measuring and Maths Lessons!
Though we might view measuring things as a mundane activity ingrained into our daily lives, our Year 1 students loved estimating the various sizes of different things such as books, pencil cases and more. They worked together in discussing their discoveries which allowed them to enhance their teamwork and conversation skills!
