In Maths children have been learning to add tens by skip counting  43 + 30 = 73
43,53,63, 73

Others have been learning to count on from the biggest number.   3 + 6 =     Put 6 in your head
and count 7, 8, 9   9 is the answer.

The other group has been working on subtraction first to 100, then on to 1000.

eggceptional news

Things to look forward to:

Egg challenge 

As part of our Inquiry unit, the children will be required to care for a raw egg. Their first task is to make an enclosure for their egg no bigger than an A5 sheet of paper, which is half the size of A4. Taking care that the enclosure is not too deep. Materials can be made from recycled products, and decorated. The enclosure is to be constructed at home. They then must take their egg home with them everyday and over the weekends.
ENCLOSURE IS DUE AT SCHOOL Monday 31 July
