No Pens Day Wednesday is an annual day dedicated to speaking and understanding language that takes place in schools, colleges and early years settings across the country. At Treleigh, we look forward to this event each year. The whole school celebrate the benefits of developing skills and language skills which are fundamental to everything we do.
By putting down your pens and shouting out about speaking and understanding skills, you can:
- Develop pupils’ speaking and understanding skills
- Develop staff’s understanding of speaking and understanding skills and embed them into your curriculum
- Try out new teaching approaches and engage pupils in exciting pens-free activities
- Identify pupils who need additional support to develop their speaking and understanding skills

No Pens Wednesday Maths Action in Year 6
No pens Wednesday maths action in Year 6. Dividing fractions by whole numbers: investigating the process using Cuisenaire rods. By the end of the lesson pupils had worked out that ‘to divide a fraction by a whole number simply multiply the denominator by the whole and slide the numerator across,’ doing a fantastic job. Mr Russell couldn’t believe his eyes!

Miss Philpott’s Maths lesson
In Miss Philpott’s maths lesson today, as part of our Mastering Number activity, we were focussing on the number 9 and using the counters to find number bonds that total 9. Mrs Williams’ group focussed on their fluency of the number bonds to 10, using the iPads. The children enjoyed creating the odd and even Numberblocks with the cubes and also talking through number problems and creating number sentences using the tens frames.
