News from Year 3/4
This week the children in Year 3/4 have been completing a maths investigation using the following information:
Tim had nine cards, each with a different number from 1 to 9 on it.
He put the cards into three piles so that the total in each pile was 15.
How could he have done this?
The children have been working collaboratively and using their addition skills to find as many solutions as possible for the investigation.
Some children quickly found solutions but were challenged to find a solution where there were 3 in digits in each pile to add.
Children recognised that they could make number bonds to 10 and number bonds to 5 which helped find solutions. They also found that more solutions were possible if they swapped the digit 5 for 2 numbers which add to 5.
The vocabulary used, the collaboration and the hard work from all of the children was fantastic
PTA film nights
Please see below details of 2 film nights which our PTA will be holding in October. The films that will be shown are on the posters. Further details to follow shortly.
