The teaching of mathematics has changed so much over recent years. We are very lucky to have a number of Maths specialists on the staff including Mrs Findley who specialises in the Singapore Bar Method. Mrs Findley is currently providing training for our support staff. We are NOT afraid to be in the pit of despair ourselves sometimes! (In fact, we really enjoy it.) Teresa is such a good girl putting her hand up.

Our teachers are refreshing their own Lego designing, building and coding skills this evening because the children are so whizzy they keep us on our toes!

Thank you for all your generous donations to this year’s Harvest Festival. Mrs Lewis organsied an enjoyable celebration and Nick from St Saviours came in to tell us a MAGICAL story about stone soup and to bless our harvest gifts. We are all truly grateful for what we have.

The school nurse team are in school today for height and weight checks in FS2 and Year 6. It is a good day to wear your best socks!

Thanks to Emma and her team from GS Plus for our Great British Menu today. We thoroughly enjoyed our sausages and chips and our jelly and ice cream. We’re a classy bunch!

Our Pupil Teaching and Learning Team have been monitoring classrooms this week, looking at learning books and talking to other children about what helps them to learn. They provide feedback to teachers and tell them what they think they are doing well and what they might do better. Our children are very strict!
