Maple Class – Year 5 – Mrs Unitt 

Finley

I cannot believe the development in Finley’s maths confidence this year. He has really developed his mathematical understanding and is able to apply it to a range of different contexts. At the beginning of the year, Finley would rely heavily on others but now he is an independent and effective learner who is able to demonstrate his good understanding of concepts through using mathematical vocabulary in class discussions. I am very proud of the progress that he has made.  

Hawthorns Class - Year 5 – Mr Dallow Ghazl

Ali 

I am so proud of Ghazl. She gives 100% in every maths lesson, and this is really paying off. She is eager to answer questions throughout the lesson and is always willing to help others. She has made great progress when multiplying and dividing and has now mastered the ‘bus stop’ method. Keep up the hard work Ghazl! 

Beech class – Year 6 Mr Hales 

Olly

Olly is a fine mathematician and he works well in all areas of maths. There have been instances though in the past where Olly has been prone to making little mistakes that have had a bearing on the outcomes of his answers. I am really pleased to see that Olly has been striving hard to correct these and I am seeing a concerted effort with his number formation and showing all his working out which has drastically improved his accuracy. Well done Olly. 

Birch Class – Year 6 Mrs Webb 

Lillie-Mae

Lillie is fantastic at maths; I only wish she had as much confidence in herself as I do.  She has been working hard all year to improve her arithmetic scores and is now achieving scores off 33 out of 40, which for this time in the year is amazing.  Her depth of knowledge is also seen when working with fractions.  I love seeing the big smile on her face when we are tackling difficult concepts in maths, and she realises that she has got it.  She is more frequently attempting the more challenging questions and is finding much success.  I am really proud of you Lillie.  Keep up the good work.
