X Tables Check – Year 4

The year 4 x times tables check is scheduled to take place this academic year during the summer term, around June time. This will involve all year 4 pupils taking an online x test. The format of the test will be for the children to answer 25 questions in a given time. We will be covering work on this class as well using laptops and ipads to practise a version of the test itself. But it would be really helpful if you could support your children at home to help them learn all their x tables up to 12 x 12.

Click on the link below to access an example of the test to have a practise. There are 6 seconds to answer each question and questions are generated randomly from the 1 to 12 x tables.

Times Tables Check Test

You can also use the Top Marks website to practise x tables with a game called Hit the Button. Here you can choose a x table to practise as well select division to practise x tables using the inverse method. Click on the link below to access.

Hit The Button

The children are also bringing home a x tables poster and x tables work book. They can display the poster at home and use the book to practise x tables as well as record the tricky bits, patterns and top tips to help them remember each x table by heart.

Please encourage your child to practise and learn their x tables as often as possible. As well as helping them with the x tables check it is also such an important life skill.

Below are some useful documents:

Wednesday Football Club – Girls

Connor has suggested that it might be better if the girls bring separate jumper and jogging bottoms to change into for the afterschool sessions. We have had children going home in very muddy school jumpers tonight!

 

Nursery News

We are very sad to announce that Jodie Phillips, our lovely nursery leader, is leaving us for pastures new. Jodie has accepted a new job as a family worker with Shropshire Early Help, which we know she will be fantastic at. However, we are of course very sad to lose her from our team at Myddle. Jodie has been with us for 7 years and taken the nursery from strength to strength with her creativity, her management skills and her love of children. We know you will join us to wish her every success in her new job and to thank her for all her hard work at Myddle, giving our little ones the best possible start to their school life.

We will let you know who Jodie’s successor will be shortly and we will ensure that there is plenty of  information sharing so that the transition can be as seamless as possible.

Jodie’s last day will be Friday 26th November.

COVID- 19- Helpful Guidance

Following from our recent positive case in Rhino Class, I thought it would be helpful to share a couple of points from the Local Authority guidance which might assist you when you book a PCR test when your child has no symptoms and also the guidance and timing of the 10 day isolation period.

If you are booking your child in for a PCR Test having been encouraged by school, you need to use the option marked on the attached document, this will allow a PCR test to be booked with no symptoms.

Doc147

If your child tests positive for COVID-19, they will be required to complete the 10 days isolation period, the details of how this is calculated can be seen below. Please also note that if your child is still unwell OR still has a temperature when they have completed their isolation period, they must NOT return to school.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact school on 01939 290834

Menu Change – 10th November

There is a change to the menu for Wednesday 10th November. The children will be offered Chicken instead of the advertised Roast Beef.

Apologises for this change.

Positive Case – Rhino Class

We have had a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Rhino Class.

We would encourage everyone in this Class to book a PCR test as soon as possible. Please note a Lateral Flow test is not acceptable for those classed as close contacts.

Please do not send your child in to school if they have any COVID-19 symptoms. If you have any questions please refer to the local authority guidance which was sent home on the 15th October and posted on the school website on the 4th October. A key point in this guidance is that your child cannot come to school if there is a positive case in your household.
