Parent and Carer Talks- The World at Work

Thank you to all those parents and carers who were able to take part in our ‘World at Work’ talks last week. The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt a great deal about life at work. We were lucky enough to have at least four talks per day and each adult visited two classes talking about a wide range of skills. We look forward to sharing this initiative again with you in the future.

Maths Workshop-30.10.19

Thank you for all those who were able to attend the Maths Meeting this morning. At Swallowfield we follow a mastery based approach to the teaching of Mathematics. This was explained at the meeting whilst focusing on how we teach addition and subtraction from Early Years to Year 4. Please use the Calculation Policy on our website to explore these operations in more detail.

Here is the presentation for you to review at home.

Many thanks,

Mr McGill

Maths Meeting for Parents and Carers-October 2019-Addition and Subtraction

Scarecrow Trail

It was lovely to see so many families come to visit our entry into the Scarecrow Trail, by bike, car, on foot and with dogs!

Our veg box started off full, with donations and our own school grown produce, but was empty by the end of the afternoon.

For taking part, Woburn Sands Emporium donated a superb apple tree to the school too.
