Welcome back to a new academic year. Keep an eye on the blog this year as we share lots of your fantastic learning and experiences.
We are proud to announce that 2 of our pupils were named as finalists in this year’s Coventry Building Society’s Young Writers competition:
Evelyn W (Year 3) for her story ‘‘The window of food’
Jacob S (Year 4) for his story ‘The Mystery of the Missing Detective’
Both were invited to attend an awards ceremony at Coventry Building Society Arena on Thursday 2nd March, along with Mrs Maude and their families. The competition received 2,020 entries, with the number being reduced down to 20 for the finalist’s event.
Evelyn and Jacob had an amazing time, with a special tour of the arena before attending the ceremony. Both children were highly commended for their writing and received a certificate and a goodie bag.
What an amazing achievement!
During this week, your child has participated in maths activities related to Coventry, including its history.
As part of this, we are running a maths photo competition ‘Looking at Coventry Through Maths Eyes’. The aim of this is to help everyone realise that maths is all around us and our local environment is mathematically rich. Using the things around us is a superb way to engage your child in talking about maths.
Over half term, we would like you and your child to take a photo/snapshot of familiar things that capture some aspect of real-life mathematics in and around Coventry. We would like you to send your photo into us with a mathematical question (see examples below). There are prizes up for grabs!
Please send your ‘Looking at Coventry Through Maths Eyes’ photos/questions to Mrs Walton by Wednesday 1st March to [email protected] Please state clearly your child’s name and class.
I looking forward to seeing all your photos,
Mrs Walton
