We have been learning how to count in 20s, 25s & 50s. We started our lesson off with chanting in the numbers and then we went outside and took part in an Active Maths session. We completed shuttle runs and every time we reached a cone we shouted the next number in the sequence. Another activity was throwing a ball and each time we threw, we said the next number in the sequence. We really enjoyed this session as we had the chance to be active and learn maths.
In Maths, we have been learning about numbers and counting. We have learnt that the number before is smaller and the next number is bigger. We also counted forwards and backwards to and from 100, we found out that when we count forwards the numbers get bigger and when we count backwards they get smaller. We then challenged ourselves to find the missing numbers in sequences. We used 100 squares, counters, number fans and other resources to help us.
In PE today, we used the tennis rackets to balance the ball to a partner as well as practised bouncing the ball on the racket. We also discussed other games or sports that use rackets or bats.
In today’s lesson we found totals of addends that go above ten (bridge). We used the same strategies that we were using last week to help us add numbers. These strategies are number bonds to 10 and doubles. We also used partitioning and adding to help us as well as ten frames, multilink and deines.

Over the last 2 weeks, Year 5 have been making dens in the Forest School during their PE lessons. They have had a range of materials and equipment available to them and have created some fantastic outcomes!
At Bannockburn, we have a range of games and activities to join in with at lunchtime. Here are some photos of KS2 enjoying football on the Astroturf, Four Square, Pickleball, our Mini Gym and Trim Trail, toys and games in our Calm Zone and table tennis.
