We are beginning an exciting new venture with our wider community and would really appreciate your support with this by sharing this invitation. We are opening up our doors to offer parent and child Forest School sessions on a Thursday morning, starting next week! The sessions will be for children who are due to start school in September 2025.
There will be a charge of 3 per session and parents can book onto one session or a few if they would like. We have dates available for this term. It will be for a child and one parent. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate for younger siblings. Please email the school office to book. Do I need to keep my child off school?
Your children have log-in details for the following websites at home. Please ask their class teacher if you need a reminder of the user name or password. Using these resources little, but often, is the most effective way to help your child become more confident in their maths skills.
NumBots is all about every child achieving the triple win of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating.
