Firstly, apologies if you’ve been checking in on the year 5 blog and finding it rather barren. Due to a technical error, the previous few year 5 blogs have ended up on the school’s main page.

This one was from 12th September:

As promised in the welcome meeting abacus maths is in action! It is a fun way for children to put in practice what they have been focusing on in maths over the weeks. There are a number of different activities and games on the website which are not only to push children’s learning but are also fun and interactive.

We have loved hearing the children’s enthusiasm for my maths and we hope this will encourage the same and more! A task will be allocated along with my maths for all children to complete each week. There are three stages to choose from on each game, these consist of: bronze, silver and gold. The difficulty increases as the ranks go up which is a chance for the children to challenge themselves independently.

We are looking forward to hearing the children’s response to the website!
