Extended Study – World Read Aloud Day! (5th February)

Today is World Read Aloud Day. To celebrate this, as well as National Storytelling Week, why don’t you spend some time reading one of your favourite books out loud!

You could read it to a grown up, a sibling, a friend, you could even read it to your favourite teddy!

Take a picture to share with us at school for our reading display – you can even email it to [email protected]

We’re looking forward to seeing lots of you enjoying your favourite stories!

Maths Week 2025- Challenge 1

Maths Week 2025 is here, and we’re kicking things off with an exciting home learning challenge! This is your chance to get creative, have fun with numbers, and showcase your mathematical thinking.

For our first home learning challenge, we’d like you to choose a number and create a poster displaying different ways to represent it. You can show your number using:

  • Numerals (e.g. 7)
  • Words (e.g. seven)
  • Pictures (e.g. seven stars)
  • Number sentences (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7)
  • Arrays
  • Tally marks
  • Money
  • Anything else creative!

How to Take Part

  1. Choose a number that inspires you.
  2. Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
  3. Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
  4. Submit your entry to Mr Mumby by Friday to take part in the challenge.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ‘Ways to Show a Number’ posters! Get your thinking caps on, grab your pencils, and start creating.

Happy Maths Week!
