Dear Parent/Carer, This week we were proud to take two of our pupils to Penllergaer Primary School to show the amazing impact the Times, Tables, Rock Stars is having on their maths. Every pupil in the school from Year 2 has an account. If you want to know more, please ask your class teacher. This programme is a great way for your child to spend useful time on their devices, and can be safely accessed on phones, iPads or laptops. This is a great way to learn multiplication and division facts in a fun and productive way. Our topic “Out of this World” is well on its way, and we will soon be heading for an exciting Immersion Week where pupils will be moving around the school to work at challenging activities with a range of staff. We have held three such weeks very successfully and it has proven itself to be a wonderfully exciting way of delivering the curriculum. As a pioneer school we are tasked with the development of a real and authentic curriculum, and giving our pupils the skills to use in everyday life. Classes now run their own budgets and pupils are having more say over the direction of class expenditure. All monies raised eg Monster Ball Raffle will be split and given to the classes. Our harvest fayre will see a host of class stalls planned by the pupils. Again this is giving the pupils a greater role in their school, as well as developing “Enterprising and Creative Contributors” (One of the Four Core Purposes of the New Curriculum for Wales). Older pupils are also running a pupil bank and a stationary shop. If you have any ideas of how to support your child’s class, please speak to your class teacher.
