Champions! Well Done
Well done to the Year 3 and 4 teams that took part in the striking and fielding event at St. Thomas More's on the 19th May.
They were excellent. In fact they were so good that the year 3 team came second, and the year 4 team were champions.
The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves but afterwards said, "We're shattered now!"
Well done to all that took part, keep up the good work.

Year 4 Are The Champions!
Last Wednesday, 8 year 4 children took part in a Multi-skills Challenge event at St. Thomas More High School.
All the activities involved dribbling, running, throwing and target hitting. There were 10 different activities. We liked throwing the ball at the target the best. Our worst event seemed to be getting the basketball through the hoop, but we tried really hard in all the events.
At the end of the competition the points from all the events were collected. We hoped that we had got a medal but to our surprise we actually won the event beating Highfield St. Joseph’s by one point.
We received gold medals and a lovely big trophy. Team managers Miss Shepherdson and Mr Hannah said we were fantastic and good sportsmen.
Written by Holly and Jack.

Mathematics Evening for Year 3 and 4
Dear Parents or Guardians
Have you ever wondered which addition or subtraction method they are doing at school or how do their sums look so different from when I was at school?
Well here is your chance to find out how the children are expected to do various calculations in year 4 and 3.
There is a meeting for parents to find out about ‘Maths Methods’ on Wednesday 31st October at 4:30 p.m. This session will last just over an hour and will hopefully be informative, so you can support your children with homework or just generally at home.
I hope you will take up this opportunity to extend your understanding of how the children work but don’t be too worried there won’t be a test at the end of it.
