Can you find the balance...

23rd Jan 2026

This week, the children have been learning about ‘Life in All Its Fullness’ through practical activities in Maths. We explored finding parts of a whole using our subitising knowledge. The children investigated the smaller parts that make up a whole using objects of interest, counters, and counting games, which helped to build confidence and secure their understanding.

Later in the week, we learned about mass by using balance scales. The children compared different objects to see which were heavier, lighter, or the same. By placing items on the balance, they developed their problem-solving skills and learned to talk about their observations using mathematical language. These activities supported the children in developing strong early maths skills through play, exploration, and discussion. We are very proud of the enthusiasm and curiosity the children showed during their learning
