Michael Mangan Visit:

Michael Mangan will visit the school this Friday. He will present his songs and a Powerpoint to the whole school between 10.10 and 11.15 am. For those of you who don't know Michael Mangan, we sing many of his RE songs for children at school.

World War One commemorations:

We continue to commemorate World War One through our reading, writing and art programme at school.  Our focus will move from Anzac Day to what life was like in New Zealand in 1915.  

Maths

I have recently started following this Facebook page.  I like how simple the teaching of Maths is explained here so if you are interested please take a look.  Many parents get nervous about how Maths is taught nowadays and this lady makes explaining number to children very simple.  She has some great tips and shows how number sense really isn't that tricky at all.  It is a teacher's page but I thought I'd suggest you take a look if you want to.
