4B have been adding 4 digit numbers. We started using the dienes to help us represent the numbers that were being added, before moving on to drawing them as a picture to solve the problem.

Maths at Holbeach
The teaching of Maths has changed a lot over the years and we are aware that your child will be learning in very different ways to how you were taught at school!
Your child will be coming home with a ‘Parents Guide to Maths’ for their year group, outlining the expectations for the year, what they will be taught and how you can support their understanding at home.
The leaflet covers all the areas of Maths, with examples and diagrams to help you. You can download the leaflets for all the year groups below.
Year 6 – Educational Visit to the British Museum
Today, we visited the British Museum to see some real Ancient Egyptian artefacts.

2B – Horniman Museum
Today, we went on an educational visit to the Horniman Museum! We took part in a workshop all about toys from around the world! Use the pictures below to help you tell someone all about our day! Use ‘first, next, then, after that and finally’ to help you sequence the events from our day.
What was your favourite part of the day?
2S Visit to the Horniman Museum
Today 2S went on an educational visit to the Horniman Museum. After a long but very sensible wait in the pouring rain for our bus, we were on our way to the museum.
Once we got there, we took part in a workshop all about toys from around the world.
First we sat down and listened to a story. Can you remember the story the teacher told us?
Then we had a chance to play with and look at lots of different toys. We looked closely at toys made from recycled materials, we experimented with push and pull toys. We also looked at toys you can tell stories with and that were for hand eye coordination and learning.
Then we had lunch!

Addition
We’ve been using dienes to add numbers!

In Year 1 we have been thinking about rhyming words. We have all enjoyed singing the Big Pig song. We have talked about what jigs and figs are. We have made our own rhyming books.
Year 2 Home Learning 19.9.19
Tomorrow you will be taking home your gruffalo puppet theatre!
Can you use your theatre to tell the story of the gruffalo to someone at home?
This week we have also been making changes to the story – share your changes with someone at home.
What other characters could you include? You could write or tell your own version at home with even more new characters. Who else lives in the deep dark woods?
Year 3 Home Learning
Have you Filled a Bucket Today?
Did you know that we all have an invisible bucket? Its purpose is to hold your good thoughts and feelings about yourself. You feel happy and good when your bucket is full, and you feel sad and lonely when your bucket is empty. This week in Purple Class we have thinking of ways we can fill our own bucket and other peoples buckets too.
