Pre-School-Maths-Building With Shapes
In Maths this week the children have been building masterpieces using 2D and 3D shapes, identifying some shapes they have used along the way. We had houses,castles,trains, cars and many more masterpieces.The children were really excited about their creations.

Nursery - Maths - Subitising 1 and 2
Our Nursery children have been sharpening their early subitising skills this week—learning to instantly recognise quantities of 1 and 2 without needing to count them one by one. To bring this mathematical concept to life, we brought out a magic cauldron! The children brewed up their own special spells using pumpkins, spiders, and pinecones. Once all the ingredients were mixed, everyone peered into the cauldron to spot, name, and talk about the small groups of 1 and 2 items floating inside. It was a brilliant, hands-on way to make early number confidence fun, engaging, and just a little bit magical!
Year 4 Maths - Addition
Year 4 have been adding 4-digit numbers in place value frames. We have used counters to help us correctly add these large numbers and see how numbers sometimes exchange into another column. It was tricky at first, but Year 4 are getting the hang of it now and are making great progress in this area!
Year 1 - Maths - Part Whole Model
Year 1 have been exploring part whole models this week. The children have been counting the number of objects to find the whole and separating them into groups to find the different parts.
Reception - Maths - Patterns
Reception have been busy in Maths this week learning all about different patterns. They began by using our bodies to copy simple repeating patterns such as stomp, clap, stomp, clap. We then moved on to using objects such as cubes and teddy bears, focusing on the colours. Our mathematicians have been copying, continuing, and creating repeating patterns with lots of energy and confidence!
Year 1 - FLuency Bee - Composition of 5.
Our Y1 children have really been enjoying our Fluency Bee lessons. They used the counters to explore different compositions of 5.
Year 2 Maths - Working Together to Find Fact Families
Hands-on Maths: Unpicking Fact Families in Year 2 Our Year 2 mathematicians were put to the test this week during an active, hands-on maths lesson on fact families! The children were given a collection of completely muddled-up number sentences. Channeling their key knowledge of addition, subtraction, and number bonds, they set straight to work finding 3 friends with a matching number, but different calculation sentences. Once the number sentences were paired up, pupils matched each family to its corresponding part-whole model before building the numbers using physical Base 10 equipment. It was fantastic to see such great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the room, with everyone mastering how numbers relate to one another—confident in the knowledge that if 6 + 4 = 10, then 4 + 6 = 10, 10 - 4 = 6, and 10 - 6 = 4!
Year 2 Maths - Counting in 10's on a Number Line
Year 2’s Human Number Line! Our Year 2 mathematicians took their learning to another level this week: building an interactive human number line! Starting with multiples of 10 up to 100, the children worked together to line up in the correct order. Things got extra exciting when they had to reorder themselves using different starting points. They quickly discovered that even if a number line doesn't start at zero, the pattern stays the same! Whether starting at 0, 30, or 60, the children proved that counting in 10s follows the exact same sequence—so the number 40 always comes right after 30. It was a fantastic, hands-on lesson full of teamwork and big lightbulb moments!
Reception-Maths-Counting
Reception have had fun this week playing an engaging maths game where they practised identifying numbers and counting colorful fish to find the correct match. The children counted each fish one by one, showing brilliant focus as they matched the quantities to the corresponding written numbers. They also worked well learning how to take turns to use the spinner and choose a number.
Year 4 Maths - Place Value
Year 4 have been demonstrating their number skills this week. Using resources such as their Chromebooks, Base 10 and place value charts, they have been learning about place value and have been working with numbers up to 5-digits!
Nursery And Pre-School - Maths - Categorising Objects
Our nursery and preschool children have been diving into early mathematical concepts this week with a vibrant, hands-on activity at the light table! The illuminated setting provided a captivating backdrop for multi-layered learning as the children explored colour, size, and counting. The children began by categorising glowing coloured blocks and translucent splats by colour, matching and grouping similar shades. From there, they put their counting skills to work by building colorful rainbow towers, carefully counting each block as they built higher. As the towers grew, the children explored height and spatial vocabulary, working together to identify which structures were the shortest and which were the tallest. To solidify their understanding, we supported the children in using this new mathematical language in short, complete sentences—such as "This red tower is the tallest!"—helping them connect physical play directly to clear mathematical thinking.
