Maths Week
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Y6 SATs Maths drop-in (Mr Mumby’s classroom)
Dear Parents,
We are writing to remind you about the Y6 maths drop-in session that will be taking place next week (Thursday 19th). This is an opportunity for you to come in and look at your child’s test papers, as well as access useful resources that can help support their learning in mathematics.
The drop-in session will take place from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and you are welcome to drop in at any point during that time. Our Y6 crew will be available to answer any questions you may have and provide guidance on how to best support your child’s learning.
We highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity as it will provide valuable insights into your child’s progress and areas where they may need additional support.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there! (Refreshments will be available too!)
Kind regards
Mr Mumby
Extended Study!
As a teacher, it’s always exciting to see students take ownership of their learning and put in extra effort outside of the classroom. Lola and Jack are two such students who have recently impressed me with their dedication to completing their extended study.
Lola and Jack’s dedication to completing extended study serves as a great example to other students. Completing extended study is a crucial part of the learning process. It helps to solidify the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. Lola and Jack have set a great example for their peers by showing that with dedication and hard work, completing extended study can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Well done!
Year 5 and 6 Christmas Craft
All the children in year 5 and 6 worked really hard last week to bake and decorate shortbread and gingerbread ready for the Christmas Fair. They all looked delicious – a fantastic job everyone!
Science Club Treasure Hunt
In science club this week, we used the Ipads to take pictures of things with different properties. We recorded our findings on a Jamboard.
Y5/6 Community Crew Meeting
Another week, another lovely opportunity to get our Y5 and Y6 crews together to celebrate all things Green Top!
Lots of shout outs for yesterday’s trip to Trinity by the athletics team – well done all for coming 2nd overall. And, more shout outs across the phase for some fantastic collaboration going into preparing our lectures on space for next week – we can’t wait to see you there.
A huge well done to all of our HOWL point winners as well as our OOTW champions too, and thank you to those parents who were able to join us as part of their celebration.
Y6 Athletics
Well done to our Y6 athletes who finished 2nd yesterday and qualified for the Doncaster schools finals! Great work everyone well done!
