Y1 Counting from a larger group
Date: 18th Sep 2026 @ 9:37am
The children in Year 1 enjoyed playing a game today where they took it in turns to count numbers of cubes from a larger group after rolling a dice. The winner was the person to pick up the last cube. The children had to think about which number they want to roll to be able to win.
Y6 Ordering and comparing numbers
Date: 18th Sep 2026 @ 9:09am
We have been working hard in our maths lessons to compare and order numbers.
Date: 15th Sep 2026 @ 4:31pm
As part of our Mastering Number session today, we explored the rekenreks and discussed what we noticed about them. The children talked about the number of beads on each row and the number of different coloured beads on each row. They practised getting the rekenreks ready in the 'ready position'.

The children have worked hard today in the Blue Room. They have been focused on fine motor skills, letter formation, counting and making repeated patterns.
Date: 15th Sep 2026 @ 4:26pm
Children were given a variety of objects and were asked to sort them into as many different groups as they could think of. Some chose to sort them by colour, some chose to sort them by object type and some chose to sort them by size.

During our time in the Blue Room, we found different ways to explore making repeated patterns.

We learnt about road safety in today's assembly and the importance of keeping safe on and around roads.
Jubilee Year launch - Pilgrims of Hope - January 24th 2025
Date: 26th Jan 2025 @ 11:42am
Our school community came together for an amazing launch for the very special Jubilee Year.
A Jubilee is celebrated within the Catholic church every 25 years. This year the theme will be 'Pilgrims of Hope'.
We are called together to experience joy and strength as we embarkon a journey to be 'agents of change,' working together for justice, love and peace, locally and globally.
After learning about the importance and theme of the Jubilee, the children across school have Celebrated the Word and written their own pledges.
We gathered together to reflect and share pledges before displaying them all around the hall.
We are excited for more events to come during the Jubilee Year and are filled with hope for the difference we can make in fulfilling our pledges!

To consolidate our learning on place value we played a competition in which we kept score by adding or subtracting 1, 10 or 100. The winner wasn't the first to the finish but the person with the highest score which we compared at the end.
"I was really lucky, I kept getting + 100s" - William
"Our game was really close, I got 845 and Ethan got 832" - Luca
Whole School - St Basil's Marketplace
Date: 5th Jul 2024 @ 10:56am
We all had a chance on Friday afternoon to visit our annual St Basil's Marketplace
Throughout the week, we have been creating, budgeting and presenting our items in year groups to sell.
There are activities to try our luck at, such as sweets in the jar, guess the name of the teddy and coordinate treasure maps
We also have a chance to play some carnival games to win prizes, including hook a duck, tombola, penalty shoot outs and a coconut shy.
This year our MartketPlace has raised ...

This morning, we spent our Maths lesson budgeting our Marketplace products.
We calculated what we had spent,
"The seed cost us £3.27, and the gelatine cost us £3, so altogether we spent £6.27" - Teddy
Then we decided what we should charge for each product. We decided our bird feeders could be between 50p and £2, and the seed packets we made should be cheaper, 10p to £1.
Each group decided what we wanted to charge and worked out our profit.
"I think we should charge in the middle, so that it is not too expensive, but we make a good amount. So £1 for the feeders and 50p for the packets" - Henry M

We have been learning all about teen numbers. We have met the numberblocks for each number too.
We used tens frames to make the numbers.
We also made the numbers with cubes, part whole models and found them on a number line.

Today EYFS have been learning all about capacity.
They found a magic spell book with lots of potion recipes inside.
The children carefully read the instructions and measured the amounts.
“I had to pour in the paint” – Ezra
“Mine was full” – Rosie
“The jug was half full” – Pixie
“It was bubbling” – Emily

Oh dear! Miss Roberts dropped the new beans bags and they were all in the wrong order.
The children worked carefully to sort them into the correct order. Well done!
"We had to check they were in the right order" - Jonas
"I counted to check again" - Eleanor

This week we have been looking at repeating patterns in Maths.
We used the counting bears to match the patterns.
We then went on a walk to notice patterns in the environment.

Year 5 have been busy preparing for St Basils's Market Place. We have taken our budget of £20 and spent it on beads and string, cardboard holders, a jar and sweets. This has spent out £20 and now we hope to generate more money to make a profit. Our estimated profits varied between £70-£110!
'I think that if the whole class of 30 children make 4 phone charms each and we sell them for £1 each, then we should generate £120 - £20 that we have spent. Which is £100 profit. I think that we should charge 50p for a go of 'Tin Can Alley' and for every 20 children that play, we will make an extra £10 profit on top. We also have a 'Guess the total amount of sweets in the jar' competition which is 50p a go too. I can't wait to see how much money our class generate!' Lewis

We took our learning outside for our Maths lesson on a lovely sunny day.
We have been learning about minutes past and to on the analogue and digital clocks.
Spread around the race track, each pair drew a digital clock with a time of their choice.
We then moved counter-clockwise around the track, when we met a digital time, we needed to draw the time on an analogue clock.
"This helped me to convert digital to analogue. At first I wasn't sure but Henry (my partner) helped me to understand" - Louie
"I enjoyed learning outside, we could work together and use the chalk to do our workings" - Connie

Year 5 children have been learning about conversions of different measure and how to convert units of length.
Children looked at metres, including millimetres and kilometres. They chose an item to measure in centimetres and then had to work out how many of their items would be needed to fit in a kilometre.
'I really enjoy active maths as it's fun and we get to work on an activity with our friends. It was really hard to convert our items from centimetres to kilometres as we measured the football net which was 5metres wide. So our group had to think carefully about what we were going to do. We couldn't just multiply our meaure by 1000 as this wouldn't have worked. What we did was work out how many football goals would fit in to 10 metres which was 2, then we used our knowledge on powers of 10 to multiply 10 by 100 which gets us the total distance of 1,000 Metres (1KM). We then had our answer of 200 football goals. 200 goals X 5 metres = 1,000metres.' Alex, Cody, Lukie & Olly

The children are working hard in maths today. Year 2 are exploring a bar chart and EYFS are looking at ordering numbers.
