Maths
To support maths arithmetic strategies, there is a free app you can download. It is engaging, fun for children and it builds fluency and skill in addition and subtraction. It's predominantly aimed at KS1, however, I know it will support children in Hedegehogs and Adders as it covers the quick mental arithmetic strategies we learn and use everyday. Here are the details to find out more - https://whiterosemaths.com/latest-news/introducing-our-brand-new-app-1-minute-maths

Orwell Park Easter Holiday Camps

Please see a attached a leaflet regarding some Holiday Camps for children aged 4-14 in various locations across the UK, including Suffolk where all children are invited to attend The Orwell Park camp.  

The ‘book now’ element on the flyer is interactive, so it will take you directly to their website for you to book your children on for a fun filled time at camp for however many days. The week will include team sport, arts and crafts, swimming (at some locations), camp games, drama, mindfulness, relaxation and a chance for them to get out in nature in the camp’s woodland area.   

There is  a 10% early bird discount offer running until the end of January. The code for this discount is ‘EARLYBIRD’.
