A Very Creative Way To Explore Tables
Children in Congo Class have been investigating the patterns made by different times tables, using a 10-point circle. They made points on the circle for each ‘ones digit’ up to twelve, then joined up the points. The patterns made are incredibly interesting, and helped us the see some connections between different tables. What amazing work you’ve all done!
Number Day
“I wish it could be maths all day!” is something we do often hear in Fressingfield. So, we made this wish come true when we celebrated Number Day. Sponsored by the NSPCC, we have all had a fantastic day, which included puzzles, mazes, code cracking and, at one point, all the children in key stages 1 and 2 challenging each other to games of snakes and ladders! Many thanks to families who organised outfits with numbers or patterns on, and also to those who donated to the NSPCC.
Danube Class Poems
The children in Danube Class have had a fantastic week of sensory poetry inspired by nature in the school grounds.
They spent time outside at the start of the week to collect ideas using their senses: sight, sound, smell and touch.
They then put their ideas into a poem, using the structure:
Such a sound I heard…
Such a sight I saw…
Such a touch I touched…
Such a smell I smelt…
Once written, the children read them to the class with a partner doing some actions. It was lovely to see how proud they each were of their poems.
They really are wonderful and we hope you enjoy them as much as us.
