Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

The children have been very excited to learn about 'Numbots' our new online maths app for children to practice their number skills at home. 

Supporting your child at home with their reading and maths really makes a difference. I know from my own experience as a working parent, it is hard to fit this into your busy family life. Little and often would be my advice. 5-10mins a day and remember this could be while your child is in the bath, while they are waiting for their swimming lesson to start or at bedtime. The more children practice reading, enjoy being read to and practice their maths skills, the more confident they will become. Please do ask your class teacher if you have any questions. 

Have a restful weekend. 

Thank you for your support, 

Kerry Devane
