Herons

Year 5 Herons can be seen here working hard on furthering their understanding of decimals. They have been adding and subtracting decimals with up to two places and applying this to lots of reasoning and problem-solving questions. Since Year 6 have largely completed the Maths curriculum in the run-up to SATs, they can be seen going over their knowledge of decimals, fractions, percentages and ratio, and also using problem solving and reasoning to complete investigations on these areas. For this, they have been using the Maths website ‘Nrich,’ which is hosted by the University of Cambridge, as well as other interactive resources. Just look at the detail in their books and their determination to trial, improve and display the theories they have come up with!

We are always finding new ways to learn our times tables- this one is called Splat!  Using metre sticks makes it even noisier and more fun.  

We have worked hard on expanding our knowledge of decimals and fractions, including converting cm to mm.

The measurements resulted in spirals.
