We have been continuing our learning about teen numbers in Maths. We know that the 1 in each teen number represents one in ten. We practised making teen numbers using arrow cards, remembering to cover the zero each time. We also explored different ways to represent teen numbers, including using dien...

In Art, we have been practising shading and blending techniques to draw noses and lips. We explored how to use different pencil pressures to create light and dark tones and blended our shading to make our drawings look more realistic. This helped us to add detail and improve the overall quality of o...

We enjoyed learning all about how to programme a Beebot. First, we predicted what might happen using a paper bot. Next, we checked our algorithms by programming a real Beebot. Finally, we played a game using random command cards to predict where the Beebot would go.

In Maths, we have begun learning about teen numbers. We used Numicon to represent these numbers and explore their value. We learnt that the first digit in a teen number represents 10. For example, 13 is made up of 10 and 3.

This week in Computing, the children have been exploring algorithms by using the same instructions in different orders. They worked with paper Beebots and mats to test and create their own algorithms, learning how important it is to give clear and precise instructions. We also saw some fantastic tea...

We have been exploring different forms of technology and have begun using laptops in class. We learnt how to use the trackpad as a mouse and successfully log on independently. Over the coming weeks, we will continue developing our skills by opening and using programs such as Paint and Word.
