This afternoon, in our science lesson, we have been investigating everyday materials and their uses. We revised our knowledge of materials from Year 1, talking about the materials that we know and the investigations that we carried out last year. We then made a list of materials that we could find evidence of in the classroom and the cloakroom. The children were given a collection of pictures to group in any way they wanted, using post it notes to label how they have sorted the pictures.

On Friday 4th February we had a Maths focus day, this was part of the NSPCC Number day. We were so lucky have Subject Revolution(https://www.subjectrevolution.co.uk) in school to help us celebrate all things MATHEMATICAL! They provided us with an exciting, modern, interactive and hands-on educational Mathematics experience for us all.
In KS1 we were helping Prince Lumino who had been left in charge of Mathania and he was in big trouble. Lumino needed help. We had to work in teams and travel around the amazing new world created in our hall. We worked together in practical maths challenges to save our hapless hero. We had to mend, build, fish, repair, sort, stack and even throw our way to success through this hands-on maths adventure.
