Mad about multiplying!

With the sports coach this half term, we are looking at boxercising. We have learnt the stance when boxing along with different types of punches like a jab and cross. We used boxing gloves and pads while working together to practice these different moves. How exciting it was!
During outdoor learning, we enjoyed reading fiction and non fiction books about all the smallest creatures that live in our woods this week. We thought about how plants grow and some of us used our knot tying and cutting skills to make grass seed caterpillars. We were amazed by all the sycamore seeds that have germinated and are starting to grow in our woodland – they are now developing very strong roots and a second set of leaves.
In maths with Mr Sweeney, we have started to look at grouping to help us with our multiplication. We used lots of different manipulatives to help us understand how to group different amounts to help us write a multiplication number sentence. We needed to count up in jumps of 2, 5 and 10 to help us work out the answers.
I hope the weather stays sunny for this bank holiday weekend and we will see you on Tuesday morning!
