More Amazing Maths!
Sun 16 Feb 2025Did you know that this year we are part of a collaborative Maths Hub where schools work together to transform the teaching of Maths in the classroom and give children fantastic opportunities to solve mathematical problems and develop their mathematical language. Year 4 have been finding out about the power of the humble zero looking at all the amazing ways that it can change a number into something much bigger, depending on where it sits. Year 5 meanwhile have been tackling long division with ease and Reception have been finding lots of different ways to make five. Great job everyone!
