e-Safety Orienteering!

12th February 2025Jake Taylor

Thank you to everyone who attended the e-Safety orienteering session yesterday afternoon. Although the weather wasn’t great and it limited the amount of space we were able to use, the children remained enthusiastic and did their best to make sure they could find every answer. A big thank you as well to some of our crew councillors and digital leaders who were able to help assist and capture photos from the event. Well done to everyone involved!

If you didn’t manage to attend yesterday, why don’t you have a go on here and see what score you get? You can access the questions and answer sheet from the slideshow below.

2nd February 2025Chris Mumby

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!

If you have any further questions or concerns please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Class 5: Super Reading

14th January 2025Carly Schon

Mavis has been showing off her super reading today by reading one of her favourite books from home to the rest of the class. Mavis read with absolutely beautiful expression and the children were laughing at the funny parts of the story. This week we have been learning about rhyming words and the children enjoyed spotting the rhyming words in the story.

Well done Mavis! I am super proud of you.
