Mrs Bowie and Mrs Richards had the wonderful task of sitting down with some children from each class in school and discussing maths.  We talked about the resources that are used in classrooms, how we move on in our learning if something is tricky and how we feel about maths in school.  All of the children painted a really positive picture of maths at our school!  They also made some excellent suggestions of how maths could move forward in our school.  Mrs Bowie and Mrs Richards are working hard to put these suggestions in place and they will update everyone next half term about these. 

Here are some of the responses from the children: 

‘I really like doing Flashback 4 because it helps me to remember the work we’ve done before.’ 

‘Could we have a maths fair?’ 

‘Counters are my favourite resource to use.’ 

‘I’d like a maths council in school, like the school council, but just for maths.’ 

‘I am proud of my work on fractions because I struggled at the start, but now I get it!’ 

‘Maths lessons make me happy.  I love maths!’ 

‘I like it when we do maths outside.’
