It has been a busy week in Primary with Maths Week activities, an AEN parent workshop and a class representative meeting. There has been plenty of time for lovely learning in classes, so do check out the pictures in our class news section.

AssemblyPlease find the Maths Week Assembly on the yeargroup Canvas pages.Please note that, assemblies take place via Zoom while children watch and participate in their classes. One key stage at a time can attend live in the auditorium.Next week, it will be the Y3 Kolodko assembly followed by the Safer Internet assembly with Mr Garrow. Then it will be the Y4 Bourgeois assembly after that. Parent Representative MeetingA huge thank you to the parent class representatives who attended the meeting on Tuesday. We discussed many issues, including those raised by parents in classes. Topics included homework, the canteen, the playground and toys, school development, Canvas and engagement, parent events for parents and community, COVID safety procedures, outdoor learning and there was also an opportunity to hear from Evgenia about talking and drawing, and how this helps children to manage and discuss their feelings.After a busy week, I am still writing up all of our discussions in the minutes, but parent reps will be sharing these and a summary of our discussions with you shortly.Our parent representatives really are a voice for our community; they give their time to share views, give ideas and make our school a better place and I think they are wonderful – thank you very much for your support, parent reps! Maths WeekWhat a wonderful maths week we have had! Our week started with some active &#39;Minute to Win It&#39; challenges. We have been focusing on time this week, from playing games to reading the times on analogue clocks and from finding durations to working on a problem a day. The week has ended today with each class sharing their time board games, teachers and students telling their favourite jokes and everyone wearing their creative maths hats. We have also had some year group TimesTableRockstar battles running all week. Congratulations to the winning classes and the top three players from the week - all announced during today&#39;s assembly. These battles will now be running weekly across year groups and key stages.Many thanks to Miss Goodhew and Mr Burns for running this event and making Maths week so fun for our children! Lots of focused and lovely learning for maths and time too. Hungarian Reading Challenge: The Second RoundFor those of you who have been participating in the Hungarian reading challenge: the second round is here!
