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

Fabulous Hook Week

By Jayne Rodgers13th January 2020

Class 6 had an amazing week to hook us into our new ‘Would you like to live in a place like this?’ expedition. We went on walks around Thorne to look at the different types of houses, the canal and some of the historical buildings. We made collages of some of the well known shop signs that we saw, made portraits of our families using buttons to decorate our home corner reading area and even linked our maths learning by making houses with tens sticks for walls and ones blocks for windows.

We can’t wait to learn more about the wonderful place we live in!

As always, we would like to thank you all for your support in joining us for our outings. Your help is very much appreciated.

My evening with Elliott.

Good evening everyone.

Here I am with my little chum Elliott enjoying my book of the month at bedtime last night. Don’t forget to record any of your own books that you read at home in your Reading Diary.

Did you know that reading at bedtime can help you to relax so you get a better night’s sleep?

See you soon

Hi everyone.

Juicy and Jemima here.

Starting tomorrow, Friday the 10th of January, classes 5 and 6 are beginning an exciting new reading challenge competition!

Every time 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!!!
