In Maths this week, we have been using the bar model to help us find missing numbers. We have also used dominoes to help us add more than 2 numbers together and we have used lolly sticks to help us understand 'exchanging'.
Which direction?
In our geography lessons this week, we have been using cardinal directions. We learnt how to use a compass to find North, East, South and West. We also thought about using left and right, forwards and backwards when using the mice beebots. Here we are counting paces North, East, South or West.
active imaginations
We've had lots of fun in the role play areas and staying active throughout the day with our groovy dance moves.
