As we’re sure you’re aware, in June, our Year 4 children sit a statutory multiplication test.
Here is what you need to know:
We aim to provide you with an opportunity to work alongside your child/children to participate in times table activities that you and your child can then do at home. This will enable your child/children to become an excellent times table wizard, which will hold them in good stead for their future Maths learning at Park Street and beyond. This workshop will be held on Tuesday 20th February 2024 and will run 2:00pm-3:00pm. We are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in their Number Day on Friday 2nd February 2024.
Children deserve an equal start in life The NSPCC believes that all children deserve a childhood free from harm but, sadly, that is not the case for many children. That is why the NSPCC is fighting for every childhood and working to help keep children safe from abuse. The NSPCC needs our support. By raising money, we can help to fund their vital services such as Childline – the helpline that’s always there for children and young people whatever their problem or concern, and the NSPCC Speak out Stay Safe Programme which aims to equip a generation of children with the knowledge and understanding they need to stay safe from abuse and neglect through delivery of assemblies and workshops in schools. Making maths meaningful Number Day is a great way to make maths fun and bring about a positive, ‘can-do’ attitude towards it. We are planning to have a variety of mathematical madness going on throughout the day!
We’re looking forward to all the fun of Number Day, and we really appreciate your support. All the money we raise at Park Street will make an enormous difference to children today and help change the lives of children tomorrow. You can find out more about the NSPCC’s work at nspcc.org.uk This week in Team JD are looking at composing (making) and decomposing (picking apart) 4-digit numbers. Today, we have worked hard to understand the value of each digit using concrete manipulatives (number counters).
Team JD thoroughly enjoyed the physical aspect of the learning and working together in pairs, to solve subtraction problems related to the 4-digit numbers. Fantastic work, Team JD! Since returning from the half term break, we have been consolidating our knowledge of place value of numbers with up to 9 digits. We have been developing further our written methods for multiplication and division and applying our skills to a wide range of reasoning challenges and problem solving.

The children of Team JF started exploring column addition. We started off by recapping what we already knew about numbers and their values. From this, we partitioned into tens and ones using the place value grids and added each column separately to reach our answer. As our learning progressed, we moved into setting out our calculations accurately using one number per square. The children had lots of opportunities to practice setting this out using their whiteboards.
Mastering number - The children have learnt about square numbers.
Year 4 - This week Year 4 have been working on understanding how many ones, tens and hundreds are in 1000. Year 5 - The children have focussed on understanding hundredths and part of a whole. This week in maths the children of Team JF continued exploring addition. We started off by counting three groups of objects and understanding how to put this into a calculation. From this, we began working on strategies we could use to help us be successful. We initially counted on from the given number, however, we found this could lead to us becoming confused. We then started to break it up into smaller chunks to make it easier. As our learning progressed, we then created our own calculations in pairs by rolling a dice three times and solving the calculation we made.
In Maths, our Reception children started the week identifying circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. We have been identifying a ‘whole’ when shown 1 part of a familiar object. We have identified parts of our own body and recognised that some whole objects have parts that cannot be removed and we investigates ways to compose and de-compose sets of 2 and 3. We know that 1 and 2 are parts of 3. Our Year 1 children started the week looking at what a whole object is and explaining that we can split a whole into parts. We have learnt that a whole can represent a group of objects. We then moved on to identifying a part of a whole group. We have learnt what a part whole model is and used it to represent a whole partitioned into two parts. Our Reception children showing their amazing learning about shape! Look at our Year 1 children demonstrating their partitioning skills! Wowzers - what outstanding mathematicians they are becoming!
