This competition is a fantastic way to compete against lots of other Primary students, have fun and develop numeracy/maths skills at the very same time. Good luck and we hope you all really enjoy the holidays when they come. If your child has forgotten their details, please do get in touch with the school office as we’d be more than happy to assist.

Ness Clan have been working very hard to create stained glass decorations. They created their own posters to advertise their product, using persuasive language. They included bossy verbs and boastful adjectives to try to persuade their audience to purchase their products.
Please send in a small donation (suggested: £2) with your child to purchase their creation on Friday 17th December 2021.
