Firstly, we would like to say how proud we were of the children. Over the past few weeks, they have sung their heart out and worked hard to get smart by learning the signs to accompany them.

Introduction to Numbots
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are delighted to inform you about an online learning platform called NumBots that weāre using to support your childās understanding of number bonds and to help their addition and subtraction skills. These are the essential building blocks for higher-level maths concepts, so we are excited by the impact that NumBots will have on your childās learning.
We will also be celebrating children’s achievements each week in our community crew, where we will be presenting the children’s certificates.
Logging In
The children have been shown how to log in and have brought home a username label containing their unique login details. NumBots can be played on a browser (play.numbots.com) or via the app which is free to download on Amazon, Android and Apple devices. They may need help entering the details, but once theyāre in they will be able to play the game on their own.
Please ask your childās teacher if they are struggling to login.
Important: Please donāt allow siblings, friends or family to answer for them, as the programme progresses at the pace of each child. Do feel free to support your child if theyāre stuck and give them encouragement to keep trying even if it takes a number of times to complete a level.
Children should all have logged in at school and be aware of how to log in.
Little and often
In order to get the best out of NumBots, we recommend that children play regularly for short bursts at a time, aiming for 3 minutes, five times a week.
Game Types
- Story Mode ā the emphasis is on learning the ideas and concepts behind addition and subtraction so it features more diagrams, representations and question styles.
- Challenge Mode ā the emphasis is more on speed of recall of key facts, like number bonds to 10, doubling small numbers or adding & taking away in your head.
Please let your childās teacher know if you have any questions or comments.Ā
Pride of Plover
Yellow crew disco!
Yesterday, yellow crews enjoyed a belated reward for their efforts during the summer term (you may recall we postponed it due to bad weather), in the form of a disco! The children had a great time and should be proud of how hard they worked at their HoWLs during the summer term to earn this reward.
It was also lovely to note that all three crews received an award for coming top of crew coins for the terms of last year. āŗļø
Fantastic model making
Well done Billy for your fantastic model making. I praise how you selected the equipment, how you measured the pieces and how you constructed it together.

Expert Engineers
Today as part of our expedition, āRags to Riches: What lies Within the Castle Walls?ā, the children in KS1 enjoyed meeting our expert Mr Mitchell who taught the children about levers. We have been learning about how castles were defended and attacked and our expert showed the children how to make catapults. The children had great fun launching their payload of pom-poms!
Thank you for coming in to help us Mr Mitchell!
