Today, I have had the pleasure of working with our Year 4 children. They have all completed a Multiplication Times-table Check and all I can say is 'WOW'. What fantastic scores we have!

Well done Year 4 - I am so impressed with your effort and commitment to learning your times tables, which is clearly reflected in the scores you have produced today. Keep up the hard work!

Our Reception children have visualised, made and describe spatial arrangements of 6, practised subitising to 6, listened to rhythmic patterns of up to 5 sounds and identified the quantity, recognised Numberblocks and related double patterns on their fingers without counting and subitised doubles amounts shown on 10-frames. Reception children ended the week making AAB/ABB patterns. ​

In our Maths this week, Team CB have spent a significant amount of time further developing their understanding of the bar model and how to use one. They have used their  knowledge of where numbers go in a bar model to determine whether missing digit problems were missing parts or missing wholes. The children then used their understanding of the bar model to create equations which would support them in finding the value of the missing number. ​
