Well done to Year 6 for leading us in a very respectful and thought provoking assembly on Remembrance Day.
Y6 visited Reception class to meet their new buddies. At whole school events, Y6 will support their buddies and will also visit them during the year to support Reception’s learning. Today’s task was to share a story and get to learn names!
Y6 attended the South Tyneside RAP event at South Shields Fire Station. Here they were able to meet with representatives from Tyne and Wear Fire Service, Nexus, RNLI, Bikeability and Northern Power Grid. The children heard all about how they can stay safe as they become increasingly independent and venture out and about without adults.
Do you believe in magic? Do you believe numbers can be magic? Today, Y6 investigated what happens when we add, subtract and reverse non-palindromic numbers. Follow the steps below and see if your mind is blown!
PS a palindromic number is a number that reads the same forwards and backwards for example 232. You must use non-palindromic numbers for this investigation.
Let’s investigate!
1) Write a 3 digit non-palindromic number in your book.
2) Underneath, reverse the digits and write them down.
3) Use a column method to subtract the smaller number from the larger number.
4) Write this number.
5) Reverse this number.
6) Now add these two numbers in a column.
What number did you get? Is it a coincidence?
Is it always true that when we follow this process for non-palindromic numbers we get an answer of 1,089?
Investigate!
Always true, sometimes true, never true?
For our Y6 children it was their very last first week back at Marsden. We have been full of busy with maths, English, PE, geography, RE, PSHE and art. Here we are hard at work completing our still life sketching work.
Well done to our superstar runners who completed a 1.4km run this morning as part of the Great North Run celebrations.
