Egyptian maths

Giousouf has taught us all something about Egyptian maths.  His very interesting workbook shows the fascinating differences between English and Eyptian numerals, and of course you read the book the opposite way round!  Thanks for sharing, Giousouf!

Sunflowers

 

These beautiful sunflowers have been first drawn, and then painted, so carefully.  Giousouf, Lorrimer and Dovydas are rightfully proud of their detailed work and the artistic choices thy made in their work.  Well done chaps!

Time to reflect

The problem was to find how many times on an analogue clock could be reflected and still be a real time.  There are two ways to tackle this - randomly picking times and checking with a mirror or, as Kellen, Jack and Aoife did, using a systematic method of finding all 96.  Well done to all three of you!

Great graphs!

These two not only understand all about graphs, they can answer really detailed questions that involve knowing about time and decimals.  This is wonderful work, Lucas and Izzie!

Check, check & check again!

This gentleman knows that when you do a test you do not waste a moment of the time you have.  Miss Leftley was very impressed by the way Thomas checked and checked and checked again every answer he had given in each of his maths assessments.  A great work principle - well done you!

The Owly Echo

Meet some of the reporters from The Owly Echo.  Owls class assembly last week was original, informative, entertaining and much appreciated by all of the audience.  Jack, Sam, Chloe, Charlee, Joe and Kellen went 'above and beyond' when it came to organisation and delivery and their extra work was a great help to their peers.  Brilliant effort from you all!

Poor Nessie!

Enzo and Imogen have each made up a very sad story about poor Nessie, but don't worry - they have a happy ending.  They have chosen some really clever adjectives to make their writing really interesting.  What grown-up pieces of work!

Bi-lingual

It just so happened that some of the Kingfishers' work had Chinese writing on it, So Rachel translated it before answering the questions!  We are very impressed with how fluent you are, Rachel - two lots of learning in one!

To the rescue!

What exciting adventures!  Archie, Coco, Caitlin and Willow each chose a superhero and a villain, and wrote a detailed story about how the hero saved the day.  They chose their vocabulary carefully to make their writing really exciting - I was on the edge of my seat!

I spy with my little eye ...

Belle, Megan, Maisie, Immy, Oliver, Charlie and Lexi have been looking VERY carefully at minibeasts as you can see from these beautiful pictures with magnifying glass frames.  Ingenious pieces of work and superbly presented.  Very effective!

Beautiful divas

These children have been learning all about divas - with Sacchidn as their teacher!  Sacchidn, Harry, Victoria and Veronika can all tell you about how these pots are using for burning oil, and they are very proud of the decorations they have painted.  Super work, folks!

Grid multiplication

Callum has been learning how to use the grid method for multiplication, and now he is an expert at it!  He can explain what he has done very clearly and is calculating using bigger and bigger numbers.  Maths genius!

Poplet

Lauren and Aidan have been learning all about the Tudors and have shown loads of facts about Elizabeth I using Poplet on the iPads.  They know how to link pictures and text boxes so that the information is easy to follow.  Great work, folks!

Loch Ness Monster

 The two ladies have been describing the Loch Ness Monster - and what a lot of fabulous adjectives they have used!  Jasmine and Emily can tell you all about adjectives and what they are used for, and their labels explain exactly what the monster looks like.  Well done, people!
