National Numeracy Day
National Numeracy Day
National Numeracy Day is celebrated every year on May 13th. It's an exciting event designed to celebrate the fact that maths is far more than just something we learn in the classroom; it's all around us in our everyday lives. This week our Choice Boards featured extra activity ideas focused on maths and on Wednesday our usual LEO Distance Learning maths lessons were replaced by special presentations from Natasha Dolling, LEO Director of Mathematics. We'd love to see how you get on with the challenges that she set!

Calling all Year 1 and Year 2 children who love quizzes!
Calling all Year 1 and Year 2 children who love quizzes!
We hope that you had a safe and enjoyable time celebrating VE Day last week. We loved seeing the photos and work that you shared via email and Twitter. Many thanks for taking the time to send those in to us, it is always a pleasure to see what the children have been up to. The children now have the opportunity to complete a fun quickfire quiz testing their knowledge on this key historic event. There are five questions to answer and the faster they give the correct answer, the higher their score! They can try it out here and the deadline is next Tuesday, 19th May. Good luck! We will announce the winner next week.

It has been wonderful to see the variety of learning taking place this week both at home and in school. Many children have accessed the online lessons whilst also exploring their own learning interests too. We are loving how creative you all are!

Within the next week the school nursing team hope to be starting an Instagram page which will be updated regularly with public health information and health updates for young people. This will be managed by Public Health Sutton. We are currently looking into the possibility of a Q and A page within instagram for young people to interact directly with us. This site will also offer signposting to available resources and local / national services.
