Spotlight on Primary Newsletter Maths Week and More! | Page 2

Primary Focus Maths Week News This week at St. Andrews we have been celebrating Maths week. Our aim has been to get the children excited about mathematics and increase awareness of how maths can be used in our everyday lives. In Early Years, students participated in a variety of activities such as patterns and shapes day. In the Primary School, planned daily challenges encouraged students to solve problems and puzzles using logic. Children were out and about doing maths trails and scavenger hunts; code breaking; making dice and number jacks and using ICT to support their maths learning. A great time was had by all!

We encourage children to be risk-takers by: trying new things; not being afraid to make mistakes; and not always doing or saying things just because others are. Risk-Taker I have confidence to try new things. I stand up for the things I believe in. Mid-Term Break We have two more weeks of school and then we will be closed for the half term break.
