Week commencing - Monday 11th November 2019

In Maths this week we have been learning to multiply by 2. We learnt that multiply can also mean times or 'lots of'. I gave the children a multiplication question, 5 x 2. I asked 5 lots of children to get into pairs. The children checked that there was just two of them in their pair! I then asked another child how many lots of 2 there were. After we established that there were 5 lots of 2 children standing up we knew we could calculate the total. We learnt that we calculate the total by counting how many people were standing up altogether. The children then worked in pairs to answer some multiplication questions using Numicon!

In English we have been recalling and writing the story, Vlad. Here are some stories we would like to share!
