To consolidate our learning on place value we played a competition in which we kept score by adding or subtracting 1, 10 or 100. The winner wasn't the first to the finish but the person with the highest score which we compared at the end.
"I was really lucky, I kept getting + 100s" - William
"Our game was really close, I got 845 and Ethan got 832" - Luca
Whole School - St Basil's Marketplace
Date: 5th Jul 2024 @ 10:56am
We all had a chance on Friday afternoon to visit our annual St Basil's Marketplace
Throughout the week, we have been creating, budgeting and presenting our items in year groups to sell.
There are activities to try our luck at, such as sweets in the jar, guess the name of the teddy and coordinate treasure maps
We also have a chance to play some carnival games to win prizes, including hook a duck, tombola, penalty shoot outs and a coconut shy.
This year our MartketPlace has raised ...

This morning, we spent our Maths lesson budgeting our Marketplace products.
We calculated what we had spent,
"The seed cost us £3.27, and the gelatine cost us £3, so altogether we spent £6.27" - Teddy
Then we decided what we should charge for each product. We decided our bird feeders could be between 50p and £2, and the seed packets we made should be cheaper, 10p to £1.
Each group decided what we wanted to charge and worked out our profit.
"I think we should charge in the middle, so that it is not too expensive, but we make a good amount. So £1 for the feeders and 50p for the packets" - Henry M

We have been learning all about teen numbers. We have met the numberblocks for each number too.
We used tens frames to make the numbers.
We also made the numbers with cubes, part whole models and found them on a number line.

Today EYFS have been learning all about capacity.
They found a magic spell book with lots of potion recipes inside.
The children carefully read the instructions and measured the amounts.

“Mine was full” – Rosie
“The jug was half full” – Pixie
“It was bubbling” – Emily

Oh dear! Miss Roberts dropped the new beans bags and they were all in the wrong order.
The children worked carefully to sort them into the correct order. Well done!
"We had to check they were in the right order" - Jonas
"I counted to check again" - Eleanor

This week we have been looking at repeating patterns in Maths.
We used the counting bears to match the patterns.
We then went on a walk to notice patterns in the environment.

Year 5 have been busy preparing for St Basils's Market Place. We have taken our budget of £20 and spent it on beads and string, cardboard holders, a jar and sweets. This has spent out £20 and now we hope to generate more money to make a profit. Our estimated profits varied between £70-£110!
'I think that if the whole class of 30 children make 4 phone charms each and we sell them for £1 each, then we should generate £120 - £20 that we have spent. Which is £100 profit. I think that we should charge 50p for a go of 'Tin Can Alley' and for every 20 children that play, we will make an extra £10 profit on top. We also have a 'Guess the total amount of sweets in the jar' competition which is 50p a go too. I can't wait to see how much money our class generate!' Lewis

We took our learning outside for our Maths lesson on a lovely sunny day.
We have been learning about minutes past and to on the analogue and digital clocks.
Spread around the race track, each pair drew a digital clock with a time of their choice.
We then moved counter-clockwise around the track, when we met a digital time, we needed to draw the time on an analogue clock.
"This helped me to convert digital to analogue. At first I wasn't sure but Henry (my partner) helped me to understand" - Louie
"I enjoyed learning outside, we could work together and use the chalk to do our workings" - Connie

Year 5 children have been learning about conversions of different measure and how to convert units of length.
Children looked at metres, including millimetres and kilometres. They chose an item to measure in centimetres and then had to work out how many of their items would be needed to fit in a kilometre.
'I really enjoy active maths as it's fun and we get to work on an activity with our friends. It was really hard to convert our items from centimetres to kilometres as we measured the football net which was 5metres wide. So our group had to think carefully about what we were going to do. We couldn't just multiply our meaure by 1000 as this wouldn't have worked. What we did was work out how many football goals would fit in to 10 metres which was 2, then we used our knowledge on powers of 10 to multiply 10 by 100 which gets us the total distance of 1,000 Metres (1KM). We then had our answer of 200 football goals. 200 goals X 5 metres = 1,000metres.' Alex, Cody, Lukie & Olly
