Halloween disco Y1 Y2-1or9reh

6.10.17
Dear Parents/Carers,

Maths

Next week we will be continuing our work on Place Value. We will be finding different ways to represent two and three digit using various equipment such as Numicon, base ten and coins and discussing how many hundreds, tens and units there are in a two or three digit number (please see last week’s blog post on ideas for helping your child with this at home). We will also be using our knowledge of place value to add and subtract multiples of tens/hundreds to/from a number.

Jelly Bean Challenge

Hopefully you will have seen the blog post earlier this week about our new Key Stage One Jelly Bean Challenge! The resources have arrived earlier than expected, and so children are welcome to bring in 50p to get a kit from this Monday 9th October.

Digital Leaders

We are introducing digital leaders across the school. One digital leader will be chosen per class and they will have various responsibilities including being a technical expert within their class and helping their peers to use digital technology. They will also be responsible for ensuring that the ipads are charged and looked after carefully. The digital leaders will be required to attend regular lunchtime meetings with all the other digital leaders where they will learn their responsibilities and be taught how to use apps more confidently as well as learning to use new apps which they can then show their class.

Interested children will be asked to apply for the role by filling in an application form. This process will start to give them awareness of the real world of work and how you have to apply and interview for a job.

The children have had an assembly to introduce them to what being a digital leader will involve and have brought home an application form if they are interested. Please talk about the role with your child and help them to fill in the application form if they would like to apply. It needs to be returned to your child’s teacher by Friday 13th October.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Bramley.

Parents’ Appointments
The week beginning Monday 16th October is parents’ appointment week. The booking system will be going live from today. Please note that if you would prefer an appointment time before school starts in the morning then this may be possible – please can you email your class teacher if you would like one of these times. We look forward to seeing you all throughout the week.

Swimming – Mrs Ashworth’s class
Next Thursday 12th October we are having a visit from the Rhubarb theatre company. As the performance for Year 2 is at 11 a.m, Mrs Ashworth’s class will not have a swimming session next week.

Many thanks for your continued support.
Mrs Ash, Mrs Ashworth and Mrs Page

This afternoon in assembly we launched an exciting new Key Stage 1 science and technology challenge!

Please see the details on the poster below. Children will be able to give their 50p to their class teacher from Monday to receive a pack.

We look forward to seeing lots of your entries! Good luck!
