This week the children have had their multiplication and division hats on in Maths! They have been revising the 2 Times Table and learning to recognise odd and even numbers. The activities involving doubling, halving and dividing objects and numbers by 2 all provide practical applications of these concepts, allowing the children to see how they can be used in real-life situations.
Engaging in hands-on activities is an effective way to promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By exploring different strategies, making connections and applying mathematical concepts in real-life situations, the children are actively developing their analytical skills and deepening their understanding of mathematical principles. These activities encourage children to think creatively and independently, fostering a sense of curiosity and exploration.

Year 4 recently embarked on a thought-provoking unit of work, stepping into the shoes of Rainforest Detectives to solve a serious environmental mystery, in the hope of changing the future of the rainforest.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
