West Area Partnership Mental Mathematics Event

One child from each year group went to compete against children from Downside Primary School. Our children were amazing and had very impressive skills. The Year 1 and Year 2 children from Beechwood have made it through to the finals. The other heats were very close with our children only losing out by 1 point in some cases. Well done to all the children involved.

Rolling Numbers

The whole school has been learning something new this term. We have been learning Rolling Numbers. The children learn to say or chant the multiples for each timestable to support them with their mental recall of times tabls facts. Watch the video below to see how it is done.
