Year 6 love maths!

Year 6 love maths...especially when it involves ice-cream! The class created their own ice-cream parlour (cleverly named 'Sweet Dreams'). They worked as a team to calculate quantities and costs, carry out market research and promote their shop. They particularly enjoyed selling their products to children and parents!

Year 1 loved Maths Week!

We went on a measuring maths trail then made our own trails. We also measured, weighed and compared our fruit and vegetables. We set up our shop then sold the produce after school!

Year R have enjoyed Maths week!

Year R have been busy learning lots of Maths this week! We enjoyed following a Maths trail by looking at the pictures and then following the instructions to complete a Maths task. This then unlocked the secret code to reveal the treasure! Some children then took their parents on the trail!
We have had special MOOT Maths all week and the children have been brilliant at getting stuck into Maths jobs, including cutting shapes and making a picture, Maths games on the computer and snakes and ladders!
We have also been busy making price tags and setting up our pet shop. Well done Year R for deciding how much each should cost by measuring them! We had great fun selling (and then buying them!).

 

 

End of Maths Week Sale!

Thank you so much to everyone for their hard work this week, culminating in a fantastic 'Maths Sale. From ice cream to books, we had lots going on! Thank you also to parents who came along to support.
The children had a fantastic week - videos and quotes to appear soon.

Book Sale!

Finally!  The children were able to put all their new skills into practice.

Today saw the children's book sales and both Mrs Freeman and myself were very proud of all the effort that they put into designing and running their book shops.

The children showed that they were very knowledgeable about the books that they were selling and were tested by many parents!

The children really showed off their customer service and were praised for their friendliness and politeness!

And... of course there was my favourite emporium! 

DITCHFIELD'S !!!

Maths week!

What a busy week!

On Monday we completed our Maths trails.  The children loved putting their maths into action, solving real problems outside of the classroom.

On Tuesday, year 3 and 4 were visited by Nicky from Waterstones and she helped us to design our book shops.  The children learnt a lot about how to present books, how to entice people in to buy their stock and all about customer service.

Year 5 Maths through books

Today, we looked at the book 'How many Jelly Beans'? The children looked at estimating, counting, averages, mass and length, and putting jelly beans into criteria. We had so much fun - parents enjoyed it too!
