Congratulations to Year 4 who were the December winners of the Walk to School Trophy. They had the most active journeys in the school last month. Remember to walk, park and stride or hop off to help your class win next month. The more children who walk all or part of the way to school, the safer our roads are and the cleaner the air is.

Lest we forget
Year 4 have been thinking about Remembrance day and, particularly significant this year, the centenary of the end of the First World War.
We have been learning about not just soldiers who came from all around the world to fight but also those who were left at home. We learned about how children, women and men who were too old to fight, helped the war effort.
Some of the children did their own research at home including finding out about their own relatives who were affected by the war or fought in the war. We have listened to songs and read poems and diaries of people from the time. As we reflected on the end of this war, which at the time was described as and hoped to be, the war to end all wars, we wrote letters of thanks to people who were alive at the time. Then we created pictures using silhouettes and beautiful sunset colours, to remember, lest we forget.

Key Instant Recall Facts are designed to support the development of the mental skills that underpin much of the maths work in schools. They are particularly useful when calculating, either adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing. Take a look at conkermaths.org for tips and hints.
