Water Play in Nursery A.
The children have had a brilliant first week back after half term and many have been fully engaged in water play this week both indoors and out. We have a new water wall with a pump that children have been exploring and observing cause and effect.
Maths in Nursery
The children have been reading ‘Where is Bear?’ by Jonathan Bentley and learning about prepositional language. We used the story to practise moving different objects to different places - in, on, under, behind, beside and through.
We have also been practising counting using…

Year 1-Maths-Whole Part Model
Year 1-Maths-Whole Part Model
We have been learning about whole part models in Maths today. The children used tens frames and counters to show how to work out the answer.
Year 2 Maths: Time
To begin our topic of time we all came together in the hall and we made a number line from 0 to 12 which we then transferred into a circular number line to represent a clock face. We added on the minutes numbers around the outside and talked about the purpose of the hands. We recapped over Year 1…
Exploring Shape in Nursery
In Maths this week the children have been exploring shapes and building with different blocks. They recognised how ‘flat’ shapes were easier to build with and created towers, houses, robots and shops.
Representing numbers on tens frames
Today we have been working in partners to represent numbers 6, 7 and 8. Either the numeral or numicon was shown to the children showing 6, 7 or 8. They then, in partners, worked out what number was being shown and represented this on a 10s frame.
Creating using magnetic tiles
Magnetic tiles have been a recent addition to the resources in our nursery and have been extremely popular. It has been fascinating to observe the interactions of the children and the different strategies of exploring and creating used. The resource only arrived last week and building progress…
Bus building, driving and travelling.
Following on from our ‘Naughty Bus’ book the children were keen to make their own bus. We found a sturdy box and the children took over, painting and creating together to get the job done! Next for the driving and travelling. We have also been talking about finding routes as part of our…
Traitors - Arithmetic
We continued our traitor games but this time with arithmetic practice.
The children worked well in groups even with the traitors trying to influence answers.
Measuring 2026
The cubes have created lots of excitement in class and today the children were trying to build a tower that was taller than the teacher! Lots of great mathematical language was used and the children had lots of fun.
Patterns in Nursery
This week we have been looking for patterns around us including patterns in stories and songs. The children used chalks to create different patterns including spots, swirls, lines and zigzags. We then created patterns using peg boards and numicon. Together we also used lummi sticks to repeat…
Recognising mixed numbers and improper fractions
Today we have consolidated our understanding of mixed numbers and improper fractions.
The children worked in pairs to match the correct representations together.
