NSPCC Number Day - Our Nifty Number Outfits!
Count Us In for NSPCC Number Day! Our school was looking a little different today as we swapped our usual uniforms for a sea of digits and mathematical patterns! From our youngest learners in Preschool to our eldest in Year 6, everyone joined in the fun to celebrate the NSPCC’s Number Day. It was wonderful to see the creativity on display, with both children and staff wearing their favourite numbers to help raise vital funds for the NSPCC’s "Speak Out, Stay Safe" programme. Whether it was a football jersey, a hand-decorated t-shirt, or even a giant birthday number 7, the whole school community came together to prove that there really is safety in numbers. A huge thank you to all our families for your brilliant efforts with the outfits and for your kind donations. It’s a fantastic day of problem-solving and numbers, all for a very important cause.

Year 4 Geography - Where does our food come from?
Our Geography topic is all about the different types of foods we eat, where these are grown or sourced and how far it travels to get to us. We have learnt that the food we get from other countries are called imports. This week, we have been looking at the different types of imported foods and used atlases / maps to find out where that country is, in relation to the UK. We were amazed to find out the average cup of coffee has travelled around 8,000km to reach us!
Year 4 Maths - Dividing 2-digit numbers by 1 number
Year 4 have started to put their maths knowledge to the test whilst looking at division. We already know that division is the inverse of multiplication and we can use the facts we know to help us answer division questions. What about when we are dividing larger numbers? Well, Year 4 have been partitioning, using place value counters and other resources to help them answer questions and the results are pretty amazing! Any division problems need sorting, give Year 4 a call!
