Mad about multiplying

This week, we have been completing our design and technology topic. We worked in groups to create our motte and bailey castles, making sure that we made the free standing structure strong and stable. We use lots of different techniques including cutting, folding and joining. We included features like a flying bridge, drawbridge and a palisade.Next week, we are going to use them for imaginative play!
In science this week, we planted some beans. We discussed what plants needed to grow and then used this knowledge to plant the beans. We are going to observe them grow over the half term and keep a bean diary, measuring how they have grown in our classroom. Keep your eyes peeled for updates ...
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 weekend and it starts to warm up a little!
