• Cross Curricular Maths Day and Penny Challenge.

  Thu 17 Oct 2019
  Today our children took part in a large variety of maths across the curriculum. This is to enable children to see maths through other subjects, through a real-life context and strengthen their application of their skills. This term's theme was Position and Direction. In addition to this, we challenged all classes to bring in pennies to create the longest penny path which we created in the yard. This also helps to boost our donation to Rossendale Hospice as we donated all coins to this fantastic charity. The winners in KS 1 were Reception class and winners in KS 2 were Year 5! Well done to all the children for taking part and a massive thanks to parents for sending in all of your coins!
