• Place Value Pioneers - Elm

  Fri 18 Sep 2020

  Elm class have settled in beautifully to Year 3, showing great maturity and a fantastic attitude towards learning. 

   

  They have safely been using different equipment to investigate the place value of 3 digit numbers and are beginning to partition these numbers in different ways.  This place value knowledge is vital to other aspects of mathematics and Elm have shown a fantastic willingness to learn new skills and techniques, as well as as completing a range of problem solving challenges.

  Fri 08 May 2020 P Foulkes

  To mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day, the children of Key Workers and the staff team celebrated the day by making a diorama, bunting and paper chains and had a small street party.  The children all came to school wearing red. white and blue and played games that were played back in 1945.  They learned to sing a war time song 'Run Rabbit, Run Rabbit' and the Year 6 children choreographed  and taught us all a dance to the most famous war time song 'We'll Meet Again!'
