St. Mary’s CE Primary School, Albrighton

The School Council have been looking at the problem of litter around the school and other issues associated with break time snacks.

Have your say! Leave a comment on the blog, email the school or add your suggestion to the suggestion box.

Do you think that we should have healthy snacks at playtimes? What could we do to encourage healthier breaks?

What could take the place of crisps and chocolate at playtime?

The school is delighted to offer every St. Mary’s pupil free access to the award-winning ‘Number Gym’ software to enable children to practice multiplication tables and number bonds at home. There is no charge for this software.

The ‘bond builder’ contains activities for children from Reception to Year 6. We are sure all children will find it enjoyable, challenging and, if used for just 5 minutes per day, will help the recall of number facts.

We’ll keep the link on the right hand pane of the blog.

Practising number bonds and multiplication can have a massive impact on children’s confidence with maths.

To access the software click the link and enter the username ’stmary’ and the password printed in this week’s Friday Flyer. (We’ll print it in Journals from next year).
