We have combined our knowledge of calculating the difference on a number line with finding the difference between the length of two objects. Some of us found basic measurement using standard units ( cm ) very pesky, if you can support this area of development at home through practical contexts it…

This morning we have been creating skeleton shapes. We had to build a 3D shape and describe it using mathematical vocabulary.  It was a lot harder than we thought!  Why don't you ask us about it?

Advance warning of a fund raising event being organised by our School Council. We have a link school (Serrekunda Lower School) in the Gambia and the children have decided to raise funds to buy the sort of basic school equipment that we take for granted here at St Stephen's. Two classes will also…

Today we researched things we associated with Easter. We applied our new found digital literacy skills to really show what we knew! Some of us used google images, built in clip art, images from our class Bibles and some children created their own images alongside those within our class reflection…

Well done Year 2 in answering all the questions on the tricky book quiz challenge!

This is an example of how your children are calculating the answer using a number line when finding the difference between 2 numbers. I am encouraging the children to create their own number line in preparation for the SATs as they are not allowed to use any equipment. The children are grasping…
