Below are some ways your child is learning. Different methods help the child to choose which suits them best to understand and progress further.
The children have been working hard this week. We have looked at partitioning numbers, finding values of the same number, looking at greater than or less than numbers and rounding numbers.
Rounding is an important skill your child will be expected to use to estimate and to check answers to calculations.
You could help your child to practise rounding with the calculations below. For each sum, you and your child could round the numbers to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000 in order to estimate the answer.
2265 + 2652
6102 + 2923
9875 + 3348
8799 – 2319
9833 – 5541

October 2024
This week, the children will be learning Statistics.
An important ‘life skill’ is that we know how to read and understand information offered to us in a variety of different formats and styles. Below are different ways:
What are pie charts?
Pie charts show proportions such as a fraction of a whole and NOT total amounts.
What are pictogram?
A pictogram is a chart that uses pictures or symbols to represent data so you don’t have to look at lots of numbers.
What is a bargraph?
A bar chart is a simple and effective way to represent data
7th October
This week, the children have been looking at Statistic.
It took a while but the children are being to understand how to read and analyse the graphs.
9th Ocober
Today, the children have been looking at Angles.
Angles are all around us. An angle is created when two straight lines meet.
The children have been busy understanding that angles have certain names and how to measure them.
16th October
The children are continuing learning all about Angles.
Autumn 2
This week we are looking at Mulitples and Factors
This week, the children are trying to understand the term ‘multiple’ and identify multiples within known tables or counting patterns in hundreds and thousands.
What are factors and multiples?
A multiple of a number is a number that can be divided evenly by another number without a remainder. A factor is one of two or more numbers that divides a given number without a remainder.

How do you divide?
What is 6396 divided by 3?
In this example we will break down the calculation using place value counters.
The place value chart shows the number 6396. There are 6 thousands, 3 hundreds, 9 tens and 6 ones. To divide this by 3, look at the values in the individual columns.
6 thousands divided by 3 is 2 thousands, 3 hundreds divided by 3 is 1 hundred, 9 tens divided by 3 is 3 tens and 6 divided by 3 is 2 ones.
So 6396 ÷ 3 = 2132.
The children have been trying really hard to get their head around telling time. We gave them analoe clocks and digital clock to help them.
What time is it?
When the minute hand on a clock is pointing to 12, we say it is o'clock.
When the minute hand points to 6, we say it is half past.
Words used to describe time
Let's look at the words we can use to talk about time.
Time is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months.
Telling the time to 5 minutes
When the minute hand on a clock moves from one number to the next, it has moved 5 minutes.
There are 12 numbers around the clock face, and each interval is 5 minutes, so there are 12 × 5 = 60 minutes in an hour.
Comparing time on clocks
We can also look at clocks to identify the latest time and compare time this way.
Example 2:
There are two planes flying to Barcelona tomorrow morning.
Here are the times they arrive:
The first plane arrives at 7 o'clock.
The second plane arrives at 8 o'clock.
The first plane arrives earlier than the second plane.
The second plane arrives later than the first plane.
