Look at our maths problem solving!

We had a special visit from Carol, our visiting maths specialist, this week. She encouraged the children to think of themselves as "junior mathematicians". We need to be able to think and talk with a buddy about how we solve maths problems.

Look at our photos of how we shared our ideas about ways we could work out what animals could have different numbers of legs. You could try it at home. 
We talked about how there is more than one correct answer and how we can record our answers in different ways. 
Carol suggested we use felt pens to record our answers if we want to take photos of our work to share on the big screen!





Mask making

Year 2 and 3 have been working on the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We have been using papier mache to make a mask. Room 10 painted their masks today. They are looking great. Come in and have a look. 
Room 9 are working on their papier mache. Ready to paint next week!
