A huge ‘thank you’!

I would really like to thank and acknowledge the help and support from a team of parents this weekend. We had a hedge which needed removing as it was overgrown and becoming a nuisance. The governors agreed that it should be removed and we are so grateful to The Barby family, Mr Littleford, Mr Burr, Mr Round and a neighbour from the village who got the job done! Being able to make these improvements with the help from our school community has saved us a lot of money and ensures that our school budget can be spent on the children. I am sure they will notice the difference!

Recently, Mr Pinder helped with some trees on the playground bank and his continued support is very much appreciated. We are very lucky at Claverley to have a supportive community.

Update

We enjoyed a wonderful Harvest service today. Thank you to everyone for coming and all your generous donations. The children sang the Harvest songs beautifully and Year 6 read their parts very clearly. It was great to have Garry back in action too!

The October Newsletter has gone out today. There are lots of future key dates so please have a look. There is a section on healthy snacks- please note, these are not limited to the 3 items listed. They are some examples of healthy snack that children can bring for break time!

Please note that we now have a few jumpers in school tonight without names in them. A black new puffer coat has gone missing from Red class- please can you check as it has the child’s name in it.

Weekly Update

Here are our superstars from the week. Well done everyone!

We are beginning to find that some children are bringing rather a lot in their packed lunches which includes sweets. We would discourage sweets being sent in as we really want to encourage healthy eating. School packed lunches consist of: a sandwich, crisps, a cookie and fruit. Yoghurts are great to put in lunchboxes too!

Red Class – Times Tables

By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all of the times tables facts up to 12 x 12. There is a national Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) in June for all Year 4 children.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/multiplication-tables-check-information-for-parents/multiplication-tables-check-information-for-parents-text-version–2

We are going to start learning tables in Red class by focusing on different tables each week. If your child knows more than the one we are learning, that is great and keep encouraging them to revise them as often as they can.

6.10.23: x3 (No test this week- we will be revising the tables)

13.10.23:  x2, x3

20.10.23:  x5, x10, x3

3.11.23:    x4

10.11.23:  x3 and x4

17.11.23:  x5, x10, x3, x4

24.11.23:  x2, x5, x10, x3, x4

1.12.23:   x3 including division

8.12.23:   x4 including division

Here is a suggested way to learn tables:

  1. Stick to one times table at a time to minimise confusion.
  2. Start with chanting and writing them out slowly in order.
  3. Then move on to completing the answers quickly in order – on paper or verbally with your child.
  4. Finally, move on to completing the answers in any order.

There are also lots of games to support with the learning of tables
