On Wednesday 30th November, children in Year 5 and 6 will present their product, a science fair, at XP School. This will be happening from 5pm until 6pm. Letters have been sent to all parents and carers of Year 5 and 6 children. If you are yet to return your letter, please can you do so as soon as possible to let us know that your child is attending and how many places you require on the night. If you have lost the letter, please don’t worry, just speak to your child’s class teacher. We can’t wait to see you there to show you the fantastic learning the children have completed this term!

Maths Week Challenge – Monday
England Rocks – Maths Week
We’re celebrating Maths Week England by taking part in a friendly times tables (and division) competition. The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Monday 14th November to 19:30 GMT Wednesday 16th November. It’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.
Children can play in any game mode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.
To support player well-being, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Monday 14th November to 19:30 GMT Wednesday 16th November. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.
