Mathematical Madness!

Our pupils can’t get enough of Numbots & Rockstars and now there’s Active Learn Primary…

15/90 pupils with access just couldn’t wait until Christmas…they played over last weekend and were given a big round of applause in assembly Monday morning for their mathematical motivation!

By close of business Monday night, that figure had risen to 55/90– it’s mathematical madness here at Earith Primary School.

Accelerate your child’s progress in maths over the Christmas break. Pass them a device and watch them go! Need logins Year 1 – 6 parents? Call the school. Reception logins coming in the New Year.

Christmas Performance Thank You for your attendance at this year’s performance. We hope you enjoyed the show.

Our pupils should feel so proud of their wonderful singing, acting and musical progress.

Last Day Fun! Assembly: always a pleasure to celebrate our Head Teacher Awards and thrice yearly, Active Badges. Congratulations to the hardworking recipients.

Well done to River House for being in the lead with the Dojos so far this year! It’s extremely close, though. Only 69 House points separating top from bottom.

Attendance whole-school is at 95.9%. Expected attendance is 95% +. Keep going, children!

I’m sure we can watch this blossom further still in Spring!

Christmas Lunch: Just look at these Christmas Crackers! See more HERE

Fun, Games & Cake from FOES: from movies to crafts and computers to colouring, we hope your child enjoyed some welldeserved enrichment time with their class doing the things they voted for during class council discussions!

And thanks for not ‘desserting’ us, FOES… (sorry!)

HE CAME: Thanks to FOES & their hotline to the man himself, there’s always time for a quick ‘flyby’ visit to Earith Primary School.

Gifts, too! Videos will be published on the school website in the coming days.

Best Dressed Competition: well done to the lucky twelve who won this year’s competition and prize from FOES – an Earith Book Club voucher.

Thank ‘Yule’ children and parents for being such good sports with your child’s ‘treeific’ attire.

Merry Christmas Autumn Term complete. What a wonderful first term here at school. Christmas is a magical time of year and nothing makes it more magical than spending time in school…and especially this one! Thank You for all your continued hard work and support: staff, FOES, parents, governors, ALT, community members and above all…our pupils.

Enjoy spending time with your loved ones. Merry Christmas, All. See you again on Friday 5th January, children.
