Maths Week 2020

By K overson1st February 2020

We are very excited for maths week!

We will be celebrating maths and to do this we will be doing the following:

Each day you will be informed of a challenge you can complete at home and bring into school
At 3pm on Thursday (in the school hall), parents are invited to join the learning council to play maths games and look at how you can support your children with maths at home
Friday is NSPCC Maths day so we will be having a ‘maths’ dress up day (£1 donation) and a bun sale to raise money for the charity
Buns will be on sale for 50p (we will also be accepting donations of buns, cake and biscuits)

Please see the link below for dress up ideas and more information about NSPCC maths day:

Monday’s challenge is: Who can find the oldest coin? This needs to be a coin that you can currently spend in the UK. Place in an envelop child’s name, the coin enclosed and date! Good Luck!

Thanks

GT Learning Council

This week in phonics we have been learning the digraphs ch, sh, th and ee. We know that when these letters are together they make a new sound. We have been good ‘digraph spotters’ and have been finding these graphemes hiding in words and sentences. Can you find any of these digraphs hiding in the books you read or can you hear them in the words you are writing?

National Emergency Services Museum

Class 3 and 4 had an amazing day at the National Emergency Services museum. The children were very excited but behaved beautifully. They enjoyed exploring all the rooms and vehicles. Thank you so much to the parent volunteers who helped our trip to run smoothly. You were amazing and we really appreciate all your help! We hope the children told you all about what they saw and learned when they returned home!

Exciting new reading challenge!

By Jayne Rodgers9th January 2020

Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are beginning an exciting new reading challenge competition!

Starting tomorrow, Friday the 10th of January, everytime your child brings their reading pack into school to be changed they will receive a raffle ticket. Once every 4 weeks a lucky winner from each class will win a SUPER READER HAMPER full of prizes. The more your child reads at home, the more chances they will have of winning the monthly prize!

So come on! Get out those reading packs and get reading!!!

An extra special well done to Reuben, Isaac, Benji and Isla for having 100% attendance for the full term! They have not missed one day of school since starting in Class 3!

Lets see if we can have even more prize winners next time!
