Thank you to the parents who attended the Parent’s Forum on Tuesday morning. It was good to share some of the exciting plans for the school with you, we are looking at re-organising the parents forum in the future so please look out for information in the near future.
I would also like to thank the year 5 parents/carers who attended the Mersea information meetings on Wednesday. It sounds as though the children have a really fantastic few days to look forward to! Please ensure that you return the medical information forms distributed at the meeting to school a.s.a.p.

Maths Parties
We are delighted to announce that this term we will be reintroducing our Maths Parties. This is an opportunity for you to work with your child during a maths session and get a flavour of what they have been learning about. You are a vital tool in your child’s education and research shows that, if parents engage with their children’s education, the attainment of the child will increase by 15% no matter what the social background of the family*.
The session will begin with the challenge of Rockstars timestable - who will win? Parent or child? Followed by your child’s teacher introducing you to some of our new mastery methods of teaching maths, such as the Singapore Bar Model. Ending with a chance for you to engage with you child, while you work your way around a carousel of maths games.
As a thank you for your support, you will be given a raffle ticket when you arrive, with a chance to win a game to take home and enjoy with your child at the end of the session.

“Parents, carers and families are by far the most important influences in a child’s life. Their support can play a vital role at all stages of education. Parents who take on a supportive role in their children’s learning make a difference in improving achievement and behaviour*.”
We look forward to seeing you at the Maths Parties.
