• Y1-Y6 are starting the Mastery Maths scheme. More information about Maths Mastery is available on the school website. (Click the link below). • Reading has been a big focus for us this year. The staff and governors are very aware that in the busy school timetable, we often lack time to read to the children, and to read for pleasure and fun. • We are going to be supporting the children across the school to develop their ‘Love of Reading.’ • The playtime in the afternoon is going to be replaced with a relaxed reading time, when the children will share a class novel and discuss this with staff and their peers. • If needed, all classes will still have the opportunity in the afternoon to have a short break. All classes will also be taking part in a Brain Break, Brain Gym or even Dough Disco! • If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this further, please speak to Mrs Kelly or your child’s class teacher.
