Primary News

It has been a busy week in Primary with topic launches underway and a Meet the Teacher event for parents. There has also been time for lots of lovely learning in class too.

Y3 Stour were reviewing place value in class this week. Please see the gallery for pictures.

Y6 Tyne have been mini teachers and have had fun teaching their classsmates! Please see the gallery for pictures.

Y5 Teme have been looking into Place value in maths - the children have been going head to head with Mr Garrow to use their place value knowledge to win the game. See the gallery for pictures.

Y6 Trent attempted to calculate how many ways we can shuffle a pack of cards. Unfortunately, the number was rather large - this large (please see the gallery!).

3 Tamar were practising place value and partitioning numbers.

It was wonderful to see so many parents attend this event, giving you the opportunity to meet with your child’s class teacher(s) and start the flow of communication between home and school which is so important for good learning. It is also a wonderful opportunity for new families to meet old and to get to know other parents in your child’s class. I hope you found the event useful!

Some classes have their Class Representatives secured already so thank you very much to those parents who have offered their time. In the coming weeks, We will have our first meeting but there are still some positions to fill. Please contact me and your child’s class teacher if you are interested in being involved. Some parents have opted to share the role and this is great too!
