Maths
In maths, the children started by
solving mystery number problems. This
involved carrying out inverse
operations. Can your child show you
how to solve the problem below?
I am thinking of a
number, I subtract 6 and
multiply the answer by
by 7 before adding
another 5. My answer is 33. What
number did I start with?
We then moved on to finding missing
angles. The children learnt that the
angles in a triangle add up to 180o
and angles in quadrilaterals add up to
360o. We also looked at the angles on
a straight line and in a circle. Can your
child find the missing angles below?
Natural History Museum Trip
The children had a fantastic trip to
the Natural History Museum today.
They enjoyed exploring the Human
Biology, Creepy Crawlies, and
Mammals sections. Thank you to all
the parents who came along and
helped out.
