Primary 5S

Week 4 - Maths

This week we have been learning about multiplication strategies, particularly arrays, number lines, and grids.

To practice arrays, the class have been using Lego blocks to visually show their multiplication sums.

We have enjoyed learning about these new strategies over the past week and especially enjoyed creating and solving their own sums!

Week 3 (27.08.2024) - Topic

Similar to last week, we continued to explore using different materials to make a new home for Nessie.

This week the class were asked to build Nessie’s new home out of Kapla blocks.

We compared the sturdiness of these with the Lego houses and agreed that the Lego bricks would be a more sturdy and suitable material for building Nessie a new home than Kapla!

Week 2 (22.08.2024) - Topic

This week, we have been learning about Nessie, the loch ness monster, as part of our mythical creature’s topic.

The class were set a challenge to build Nessie a new home on land - or a ‘holiday home’ - out of Lego. They were given 30 minutes to complete this in groups of 3.

We discussed the sturdiness of each of their homes and talked about if Lego is a suitable material for Nessie’s new home!
