In Maths, 6B has been learning to divide decimals by whole and decimals numbers using a Concrete/Representational/Abstract (CRA) approach. Students used MAB materials and number lines before connecting their understanding to the abstract strategy. Even students who could confidently solve the problems abstractly still had to show a representation to prove and explain their thinking.

In our wellbeing learning, we explored this year’s Bullying No Way theme: “Small actions can have a big impact on someone’s life.” Students created a ripple-effect diagram to show how something as simple as noticing someone sitting alone, asking “Are you okay?” and inviting them to join in can lead to someone feeling noticed, included and more confident.

It was wonderful to see 6B making connections, explaining their thinking and recognising that whether we are solving a tricky maths problem or supporting someone in our community, small steps can lead to big results!

In Year 1, students explored all the long vowel sounds and learned that different graphemes can represent the same phoneme. They also learned about the three different sounds that /ed/ can make at the end of words. Moreover, they had the opportunity to learn about inflectional endings. They have been focusing on writing recounts of stories read in class and demonstrating their understanding of these stories through different types of questions and connections.
In Mathematics, they began learning about addition to 20 using a range of strategies. They explored counting on and friends of ten through concrete, representational and abstract stages to reinforce their understanding of these concepts.

This term, the 3P students have been busy exploring the world of three dimensional geometry through creative, hands on learning experiences.

They began by transforming flat 2D paper nets into familiar 3D objects, helping them understand how 3D shapes are constructed. 3P students then took on the role of architectural engineers, using paddle pop sticks and modelling clay to build a variety of 3D models. This engaging task provided a practical understanding of vertices and edges while encouraging teamwork and problem solving.

Watching students collaborate, think critically, and bring abstract mathematical concepts to life by creating real, tangible shapes has been a highlight of the week.
