Stay and Share session – tomorrow

We are really looking forward to our ‘Stay and Share’ session this Wednesday at 2:30pm. Please enter your child’s classroom from their usual drop off/pick up location (Years R, 2, 3, 5 and 6 parents should enter from the playground classroom doors, Year 1 and Mrs Everall’s classes’ can be accessed from the decking and Mr Banfield’s class from the stairs by the Visitor Car Park). Playground gates will open at 2:30pm.  For this event, the children will remain in their classrooms so if you are visiting more than one child you will be able to move between the classrooms and spend some time with them individually. We look forward to seeing you all and the children can’t wait to share their learning with you.

Stay & Share Session – Wednesday 5th February

On Wednesday 5th February, we will be hosting our first ‘Stay and Share’ session at 2:30pm.
This is an exciting opportunity for the children to share their learning with you so far this year. Due to space constraints, we are only able to accommodate one parent/grandparent per child.
If you have more than one child in school you will have the opportunity to visit their classroom during the session, so please book a place for each child.
Attendance must be confirmed through ParentPay so staff are aware of expected numbers on the day. Further details will be shared closer to the time.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Fruit & Vegetable tasting session – Rec, Y1 and Y2

On Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th February, our Reception, Y1 and Y2 children will be taking part in a 5 a day session which is being run by a team from the Schools Health and Wellbeing programme.

During this session, the children will have the opportunity to taste some fruit and vegetables such as fresh pears.

We already have historic permission from parents on our system, so we know who has permission and who hasn’t, but if you do not want your child to sample the food, please let your teacher know by Monday 3rd February.

The fruits and vegetables selected will be suitable for all children as we have double checked our list of children with allergens in those year groups.

Many thanks

Year 1 Numbot Launch

Numbots Launch

Today we have had lots of fun learning how to use Numbots.  NumBots is all about every child achieving the “triple win” of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating. NumBots adopts the best teaching practises to take children from counting on their fingers, to adding and subtracting two digit numbers. NumBots is available to play via our website or mobile app, so your child will be able to learn maths at home or on-the-go, whenever suits your family. We hope you enjoy using this website to develop your child’s confidence in Maths. Each of the children has been issued with their own username and password to enable them to log in. Teachers will be checking to see how you all get on.

For further information please find the attached guides.
