The Amazing Maths Race

A big Thank You to all the parents who came along to our Maths Workshop on Thursday. It was great to share our methods for Maths with you and hope it will help you understand and help your child.  We have some information booklets available for those of you who could not attend so please ask your teacher for one.

Whilst the teachers were running the workshop the children were busy competing in a Maths Amazing Race. This involved them working together in teams to read grid references on a map, figure out where the references related to and then, once finding their location solving a Maths riddle. The children did very well and showed that they are able map readers.



Also this week the children began their team effort to show natural and man-made features of Phuket on a whole class map. The children had the idea to turn this map into a 3D map. The children are researching the location of a feature and interesting facts about it before creating a painting and representing it on the map.


A Big Well Done to our Year 2 Stars of the Week





Next week is the final week of this term and it is a very busy one! Here are some reminders of what is happening.

KS1 Sportsday  - From 8:15 - 10:10 on Tuesday morning.

Children should come to school wearing their colour team shirt and sports shorts and shoes. All children will need a hat and water bottle too. Parents are invited to come along to the field behind the sports hall to cheer on the children.


IXDOS Fundraiser - Thursday 8:15 - 12:10

Children should arrive at school wearing their swimming clothes.
This is going to be a fun and exciting event so please come along and support us as we set sail in the swimming pool to try and raise money for the IXDOS project. Year 2 will be sailing first between 8:15 and 10:10 followed by Year 1. Snacks and refreshments will be available. 

Will we be able to reach our target of 100 lengths of the pool?


Chinese New Year - Friday 13th February

Children should come to school wearing red or Chinese style clothes. There will be a dragon dance for the children to watch in the morning.

This is the last day of school before the holiday. School finishes at 2:35 as usual.
