Flourishing in 2023

We love learning in 1/2!

Everyday is an opportunity for working together and learning new things in our 1/2 space. We would like to share with you what a Maths lesson looks like for us.

                              

We always start off with a 10 minute mental maths strategy workshop where we can learn about and practise new strategies to help us when we are problem solving. 

We have been learning our doubling skills, skip counting and how 

to partition  numbers.  It is really fun when we get to play games to practise

these skills.

After this, we have a whole class discussion about what our learning intention is and what that will look like when we have learnt our topic.  We talk about what we “Can Do”! We sometimes work in small groups or with a partner to investigate our topic.

This term we have learnt about 2D shapes, patterns, addition, subtraction and position.
