Foundation 100 Days of School

Congratulations to our Foundation students on reaching 100 Days of School.

They had a fun day dressing up as 100 year olds and doing activities about 100 during the day.

Mathematics

This week the Year 1/2 students have been taking part in their very own Potato Olympics. The students and their potatoes have been taking part in a series of activities that challenge them to use a range of key facts and strategies. They have been using measurement, addition and subtraction, knowledge of shapes and will look at interpreting data sets. 

As you are watching the Olympics together at home, have a chat with your child about Maths they can see. It might be the totals in the medal tally, times in cycling and track events and for our older students how decimal place value is used.
