Reminder tomorrow is Children in Need.  We have been learning in class about the charity and who it helps.

Children can come to school wearing something spotty or yellow – they can pay a £1 donation  for not wearing their uniform. All money raised goes to Children in Need.

We were  using Sumdog to work on our maths skills in ICT today. This week is Sumdog’s Maths Contest so we were trying hard to get as many accurate answers as possible. If possible remember to play Sumdog at home to help our class position on the leaderboard.
