Ordnance Survey Maps in Year 5

Year 5 have been using Ordnance Survey maps in this week's Geography lessons.

They first learnt how to use four-figure grid references and then applied this knowledge to a map of the local area.

Some quotes from the children:

"This was fun! It was hard to learn how to fold up the map because it was so big but I managed it in the end."

"We got a bit confused about the grid reference numbers at first but we persevered."

"Last week we learnt about the different symbols on this map and this week we learnt how to find places on the map and give grid references."

Bannockburn Bakers

This week, Mrs Peek led her Bannockburn Bakers PLG group. Children worked together to make cookies. They used Maths skills to measure and weigh ingredients, worked collaboratively to mix the dough and thought about how long to bake the biscuits for.

Art Competition

Looking for something to do over the holidays? Why not spend time painting, drawing or sculping?

Year 3: Maths - Measure

In Year 3, we have been learning about length and measurement. We have looked at centimetres and metres and learned that 100cm = 1m. We decided to measure ourselves using metre sticks. We then recorded our heights in centimetres and metres. We converted between the two unit of measurements. 

 

Maths in Year 1

Children have enjoyed learning about 2D and 3D shapes. They have explored making 2D pictures, building structures with 3D shapes, making tangram images and playing barrier games all while using and applying the language of Geometry.

 

Sewing Club-Year 2

Some of the children in Year 2 enjoyed taking part in a sewing club. Over a few weeks, they practised different stitches before creating their own bags.
