Dear Parents / Carers,

Swimming
Swimming lessons have stopped until after Easter and children now need PE kit on Thursdays and Fridays. Please can all kit, including shoes, be clearly named.

Maths
Our focus in maths next week is subtraction. We shall be working on using known number facts, counting back along number lines and then moving on to partitioning into tens and ones when working with 2 digit numbers. Alongside this we shall continue to work on Rainbow Maths targets. Mathletics is a great resource for practising these skills but you may also be interested in some of the following ipad apps which we use in school;

• ‘MathDuel’ – 2 player split screen (Ellie’s Games)
• ‘QuickMath’ (Shiny Things)
• ‘Squeebles Add and Subtract’ (KeyStageFun)
• ‘Springbird Addition and Subtraction’ (free or upgraded version)
Some of these apps are also available for android tablets.

Advanced Christmas Concert Notice
The children will be performing a Christmas play for you on Thursday December 8th at 2pm. Due to the large year group size there will be a maximum of 2 seats available per family and we ask that, where possible, no pre-school children are brought to the concert please. Tickets will be available to collect nearer the time.

Many thanks
Mrs Ashworth Miss Geall and Miss Ozanne
