Sycamore Class

This half term we have been reading 'Where the Wild Things Are.'  Gabriel brought in the Swedish version of the book and read it to the class.  We followed the story along the English version so that we could try and work out some of the Swedish words.  We were very impressed with Gabriel's reading.

The children are always encouraged to explore calculations further.  In multiplication, they looked at the other ways we can describe what multiplying means.  They know it can also mean 'lots of' or 'groups of' and they can use this to prove the answers to their calculations.
