Today, we used our excellent reasoning skills to explain which clock shows the correct time. We soon realised that we could reason away the wrong answer, as well as explain how to find the correct answer.
We also practised using our fingers to count on in fives and explained how this can help us with telling the time.
Phase 2 Water also investigated the numbers 1-12 in maths. We decided that we could add them up, or order them 1-12 or in reverse 12-1. We reasoned that the numbers could be sorted into odd and even numbers, so we used Numicon pieces to help visualise and understand these numbers. We looked around the classroom and realised that these are the numbers that show the hours on the clock.
Today we worked in small groups to reason about number. We were given the numbers from 1-12 and two coloured lines. We discussed what we could do with the numbers, some of us ordered them from largest to smallest, some of us made a thermometer, some sorted into even and odd numbers. We then realised it could be a clock!
We discussed our reasons for thinking this and argued why we were right!

The spirits were high and maths brains ready to go. The scores were big and it went right to the whistle. An excellent end of term Maths Match, was had by everyone in the phase. Ask your child what they did in Maths Match today.

This week is our last full week of school! So we need to fit in a lot of learning this week.
Reception are going to be broadening their knowledge of numbers beyond 20 up to 50. They will be counting carefully, looking at counting up in their tens and understanding one more and one less than a given number. I wonder if you can fill in the missing numbers?
Year One pupils are looking at multiplication and divisions and understanding that sharing and grouping means that each group has the same amount.
A new battle begins soon – Who will win this week? Get playing now, especially if you are at home in isolation

Today was a great Maths lesson, we did our Maths Match Junior – we worked together to solve problems, practise our fluency skills and also talk through our reasoning skills too. There was a mixture of problems we had to work through and each were worth different amounts of points too!

Happy Friday everyone – we hope to see you back in school on Monday!
First of all, let us look at one of the Big Pictures – this one is from the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle and we will be looking at it next week when we are back in school. Talk to your grown ups using your full sentences to say what you can see.
Today we are looking at measuring using weighing scales. The scales will help us to work out if an object is heavier or lighter. Have a look at the scales below and talk about what you think is heavier or lighter?
Now have a look for some objects around your home – sock, banana, book, pencil, apple, shoe etc. Hold an object in each hand and then talk about which you think is heavier or lighter – are there any objects that weigh the same? You can upload any photos onto Tapestry – I would love to see what you have found and whether you can talk about it as well – good luck!
