This Week

Welcome back to school! The children have settled in really quickly and are working hard already. This week house points were won by Finches.

On Monday Year 1 will be visiting Marshall's Arm. Wellies and waterproofs and a spare pair of shoes please.

On Wednesday we would like to welcome parents into school for a first aid course – please see separate mail for further information. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about how to treat minor injuries in the home.

Our school nurse has a drop in session on Wednesday morning from 8.30 until 10.00.

There is a Bike Right session for Year 5 on Thursday. You will receive an email if your child is on the course.

Finally on Friday we return to our class assemblies. This week is the turn of Mrs Holden’s Year 1 class. Families are welcome to attend and join the children in the classroom afterwards to show off their work.

Autumn Term Maths

Maths

This term we will begin by focussing on developing our understanding of place value before moving onto units linked with addition and subtraction and then multiplication and disvision. Children will also develop further their understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages and will be introduced to algebra and ratio and proprtion. We will also explore concepts linked to measure and gemoetry.

In order to esnure your child is prepared and makes the best progress possible, it is impoprtant for them to be confident in recalling their times tables up to 12 x 12. We will be completing tasks in class to support in monitoring and developing this, but any extra time spent at home would be extremely beneficial.

Below are some useful links to websites that will support with your child's Maths development.
