Magical mathematicians

This week we have been learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children were already confident in counting in 2s as I model this a lot and we have found that it is an efficient method to use when identifying odd and even numbers. Counting in 5s is proving to be a little trickier. On Friday, I challenged them to find different ways to represent 2-digit numbers whilst practicing their counting.

This half term we have been learning about Judaism and some of the Jewish customs and beliefs. The class have been very interested and have remembered lots of interesting words and facts. We created our own version of stained glass windows and discussed the beauty of the light shining through the colours, representing the light of God.
