Maths
We are now introducing a new interactive maths game called
Numbots for KS1 which will run alongside our TT Rockstars for
KS2. Year 2 have their logins in their book bags today and
Reception/Year 1 will receive theirs on Monday. I will be
announcing the TT Rockstar January winners in assembly on
Friday 31st.
We will also be holding a NSPCC Number Day on Friday, 7th
February. The day will be packed full of challenging and engaging
number activities for all year groups. The children are to wear
something that represents a number (£1 donation).

This week we have been listening to Jupiter from The Planets (by Holst) to tie in with KS1’s Space theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu77Vtja30c On Wednesday Mrs Sorrentino, our new violin teacher, gave two pupils a trial lesson. She will perform in next week’s singing assembly (22nd Jan) and immediately after she will take anybody interested in learning the violin to have a trial session. Let me know if your child is interested [email protected]. She will also take anyone who is inspired on the day. On Fri 24 Jan we will have an extra special Celebration Assembly. The theme will be Music and Clayesmore’s Pipe Band are coming to play for us. The assembly will also have a couple of our instrumentalists playing and one of our songs will be accompanied by 2 of our Y6 recorder players. Parents, be prepared for an unusual end to the day – your children will be piped out of school. Order the haggis. LOCAL CONCERTS Salisbury Uke Band Sat 18 Jan, Arts Centre, any time between 12-2pm FREE Mini BSO – Let’s Dance. Sat 8 Feb 11am Poole Lighthouse. Thank you! Emma
