Totemic Presentations at Claypole School

The final 2 groups from the 3 schools met at Claypole School on Tuesday to present to the Dragons.Jane met us and took us through to the hall where the Dragons ( plus a huge dragon and balloons) were waiting.
Groups presented in front of a full hall.
              The Autistic Fighters were our first group-they were brilliant-some did not even need cue cards.

Each member had something to say-and did so clearly and without nerves( well non showed even though they said they were shaking!)

Isabella answered questions from the Dragons.

The last group to present were Celvat-the initials from each group member and a play on words for Sell That!

Unfortunately the laptop had died and the groups PowerPoint could not be shown-pity as it was really good. However 'Celvat' had a backup plan-they had printed notes for all the Dragons and they had their cue cards- so all in all they did fantastically despite the technical hitch.

Whilst the final decisions were being discussed, juice and cup cakes were enjoyed by all.

Groups also received a special pen holder and a Goodie bag.

Final discussions....

Allington- Ice Ice Baby won...and received their Dragon Trophy.

I am really proud of our 2 teams- our first year and we did not know what to expect so I am extremely proud of our children who presented to a hall full of children and adults without showing any signs of nerves.

Fabulous.

Maths starters- the children take control!

Our maths starters are lead by  year 6. The activity is "What's my number?" Children work in pairs, 1 selects a number and writes it on a white board, then the class has to ask questions in order to work out what the number is. They cannot ask the same style question twice so have to think carefully about the questions and in what order to ask them. The second one in the pair uses the interactive white board to give a visual of what numbers it cannot be. They ask the class what to get rid of and then click to show this. eg Is it even?No-what do I get rid of? Is it a multiple of 3? Yes. What do I do-why?

patterns- we love spotting patterns -they help so much in maths

Those in control of the board can ask anyone what to do -just to make sure everyone is still participating!

is it less than...?

Is it a multiple of 3...?

Is it a prime...?

Is the Tens digit even...?

Is it palindromic?

We also looked at patterns in our main maths lessons-the Fibonacci sequence...

we then shared some of the patterns we identified.

 We found out that Fibonacci is everywhere in nature...plants, spirals, constellations, rabbit population,pineapples....
