World Maths Day Mathletics challenge. Who will be the Key Stage One winner?

As part of our World Maths Day, Year 5 and Year 6 had the pleasure of a visit from Anthony Grace who is an electrician. It was fabulous to find out about how an electrician uses maths and what his job entails. 

Children really enjoyed completing their own art work based on Paul Klee.

Year 6 were amazing on our trip to Rayner. They thoroughly enjoyed the secondary school experience even if the heart dissection made a few of them feel sick. Great job Year 6. 

Children have enjoyed being outside in their maths today, measuring the lengths of objects.

Year 3 enjoyed joining the live lesson about Passover which was broadcast by The Jewish Museum today. This supported their RE work about Judaism and festivals. They found out about the Seder Plate, its content and what this represents to Jewish people. We looked at the story of the Passover and why it is named so. I am very impressed with their knowledge of the subject. 

Today in PSHE we played one of our talking games called 'Consensus Circle' to debate the question 'Which jobs are best suited to women?'

We had some interesting discussions using a talk token each time we wanted to talk. We had to listen carefully to our group to be able to state whether we agreed or disagreed with their ideas.

We decided that women can and should do any job they want to. Nothing can hold them back if they are determined. However they did agree that some jobs may be better suited only because of the interests which some women may have. 

Look at our fabulous Cress Gardens!
