Primary Newsletter – Friday 15th June 2018 OUTSTANDING LEARNING Year 3 have been thinking about all of the methods which they have learnt to add and subtract 3 and 4 digit numbers. They have also used inverse to check their answers, and looked at some word problems which involved them having to apply their knowledge of inverse to find the initial number. Janique and Marcus showed outstanding learning this week with their hard work on converting between units of time to solve problems. Matia and Valentine have been chosen for outstanding learning this week for excellent independent writing and maths work. MYBNK On Wednesday this week, Year 5 had a company called MyBnk visit them. This marked the beginning of a series of workshops exploring financial education in order to gain crucial knowledge on everyday money matters and to address their thoughts and feeling towards personal finance. The first session started with an assembly on saving and spending which was then followed up by a workshop on money habits, mindsets, resisting and temptation. The children were able to gather further insights on both positive and negative money habits. We look forward to the next session with MyBnk. CHURCH VISIT Yesterday, Year 2 visited Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church in Blackheath. They had a lovely Mass where they presented a scripture, read their own bidding prayers and sang beautiful songs. After, they had the opportunity to relax and play in Monsignor Rothon’s garden. MIND TO BE KIND – THOUGHT OF THE WEEK If you say something kind to make someone feel better, how do you feel? CHURCH VISITS Next week on Thursday, Year 3 will be going to our local Catholic Church (Our Lady Help of Christians) for a visit 10.00am – 11.30am. Most children have permission to go on local trips. If we do not have this on file, you will be contacted to approve the visit.
