This week our older Nursery children have been using the water tray in Maths to learn about full and empty. 
We also talked about when a container is light or heavy. Lots of children were able to fill a container until it was full and tell us it was heavy. We saw some excellent team work form the…

Year 4 used counters, place value charts and part whole models to think carefully about the value of each digit in a number. They have worked particularly hard on understanding how many tenths and hundredths are in one whole.
