What a fantastic week in school this week. On Tuesday morning, we welcomed our parents and carers to see what we have been up to this term and to help us make our double crowns of Egypt using the instructions we wrote earlier in the term. Tonight, we took to the stage in our opening night of ‘A Night at the Musicals’. We have some incredibly talented badgers and certainly made our parents proud (and our teachers cry!). Only a week and a half left of the Autumn term and so much fun still to be had!

Today’s Maths was all about Place Value and finding all possibilities. Each group had 6 beads to put on their abacus; Year 2 had to find as many 2-digit numbers as possible, Year 3 as many 3-digit and Year 4 as many 4-digit. Lots of discussion about how we could find all of the possibilities by using our logic.
