Rock Out 2020!

17th November 2020S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, November 9th – 13th we took part in a competition for Maths Week England, called Rock Out 2020.

For every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, the children earned their class a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform calculated the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours). Our winning Classes were:

1st – Year 6 – Set 2

2nd –  Year 6 – Set 1

3rd – 5LR

 

A huge well done to everyone who took part.  We didn’t manage to get into the top 3 schools, but nevertheless, we are proud of our achievement. We had some outstanding efforts from all year groups, but the top 3 students in the whole school were:

1st – Dennis Rusu (Year 6 – Set 2)

2nd – Hayan Al Dahi (5LR)

3rd – Oliver Wilkins (Year 6 – Set 2)

Power Maths in 5BA!

29th October 2020S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Children in Year 5 are loving their Maths lessons! In our Power Up today, children played a game which demonstrated their secure understanding of place value. They had to roll a dice and create a number larger than their partner’s, deciding where each digit should go. The maths talk was amazing and the children were able to justify their thinking using appropriate vocabulary.
