Read MoreLiving Lands!
Published 09/05/24, by Joshua CialisYear 4 had the best time at Kent County Showground for the Living Lands trip. The trip was a real celebration of agriculture and our local community of Kent.
The children had the opportunity to see and stroke farm animals they hadn't seen before, they tried new foods grown locally, some had the opportunity to shear a sheep, we learnt how cows are milked and we saw dancing sheep!

Published 07/05/24, by AdminIt truly is wonderful seeing how much more confident the children are feeling with their tables, and the pride they feel at this. Please continue to encourage them to only practice on Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, the mock version of the test. It has been key in getting them more used to the timings (six seconds per question) of the check.
The tables they find tricky are the 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s and 12s.
Ten minutes a day makes a huge difference so please encourage your child to practice, practice, practice!

Read MoreWeather - Living Lands trip
Published 01/05/24, by AdminThere is a chance of rain, so please make sure your child has a rain jacket and suitable footwear - the ground is likely to be very muddy!
Children must be at school at 8:00am as the coach will be leaving promptly at 8:15am. Unfortunately, if your child is not at school and on the coach by 8:15am, they will not be able to go on this school trip and will have to remain at school.
All children must:
- Wear school uniform.
- A packed lunch (no egg, no nuts)
- A drinks bottle (no fizzy drinks or glass bottles)
- Waterproofs (it will probably rain and we are outside most of the day)
- Sun cream (if needed)
- Children will need to carry everything for the day and will not be able to leave things on the coach
Children do NOT need to bring any money to the event as there is nothing for sale.
If your child takes any medication (that is not already in school), this needs to be given to the office on the day of the trip, so we can take it with us.

Published 29/04/24, by AdminWe have increased the amount of practice in preparation for the June Multiplication Tables Check and we have seen progress already, which is fantastic. Seeing the children feel more confident and less wary of the test is a great encouragement, aside from the obvious benefit this has for their maths in general.
Please continue to them to only practice on Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, the mock version of the test. It has been key in them getting more used to the timings (six seconds per question) of the check.
