Maths and measurement
16 Jan 2026This week in mathematics, the children have been constructing bar charts and Venn diagrams.
Form 2 decided that they wanted to construct a human bar chart showing favourite African animals. They have also been consolidating their 5 times tables and trying to beat their top score on Hit the button. The children enjoyed problem-solving using plastic animals, finding different ways to make 12.
The children wrote riddles about African animals. They worked together in groups to brainstorm their ideas and then they shared them with the class.
In humanities, the class finished their Christian Creation wheel and the class had a very interesting discussion about the Creation story.
During science, Form 2 had to learn how to record the length that the cars had travelled down the different ramps. They worked in a group and they measured using rulers and meter sticks. As a class, we discussed fair testing and accurate measuring. I was very pleased that they were able to record their results into the table. The children are becoming a lot more confident when using different science equipment.
