Maths Trail

The children from 1st -6th class completed a Maths trial following our Active Walkway route. The children worked in pairs to complete the trail, created by one of the children in 3rd class. Everyone enjoyed the trail.

Maths Week 2023

The children in the junior room enjoyed learning all about 2D shapes. They made pictures with their shapes and lollipop sticks. They created shape monsters and drew their monsters. They also went on a 2D shape hunt outside, around the school grounds. Some of the shapes they found were circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and pentagons. They finished off the week with making 2D shapes during PE.

Maths 2022/2023

Maths Week 2022.

We made 2D shape pictures in class. We worked in pairs and searched for 2-D shapes around the school. We even did maths during our P.E. lesson.

We played with the maths games. We made patterns with the camels, numbers from our connecting cubes and matched numbers with counting objects.

We used an app on the ipads to create shapes and practice our doubles. Our favourite activity was using the Kodable app on the Ipads!
