Year 4 welcomed another visitor to the classroom last week to talk about Maths in the Workplace! The children enjoyed Mr Kay's presentation which highlighted all of the different ways he uses Maths in his job, and how important it isto learn Maths in school. Many of the children had discussed Maths in the Workplace with their families and they confidently shared their knowledge with their peers. They highlighted how Maths is important to a wide range of jobs such as electricians, policemen, teachers, podiatrists and farriers! Thank you everyone! Mrs Blomeley

On Friday morning, year 5 were lucky enough to have a special guest come in and talk to the children all about the importance of maths and how it will be useful to them in the future.
A lady from HMRC was talking to children all about her job and the importance of taxes, who pays taxes and what the money is used for. She went over the importance of percentages.
They learnt a lot about maths in the workplace and many children were able to tell us how their parents use maths in their jobs.

On Thursday, the Hall was transformed into an Art Gallery for the children to visit.

There were some interesting conversations in the "Gallery" where the children discussed their favourite works of art!
