Maths and Times Table Rock Stars Day!

Wow! What a fantastic day we have all had. The children all looked absolutely wonderful in our Celebration Assembly. They all had a chance to stand up, do a twirl and show off their fabulous outfits to the whole school. It was great to see Reception and Year One wearing a variety of different ‘Maths’ costumes – I particularly loved seeing a human dice and calculator!

We also displayed the children’s maths posters around the hall for everyone to see at dinner time.

And as for our rock stars…all I can say is YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe how much effort everyone has gone to, so I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone, you all got thoroughly involved and looked AWESOME!

Calculations at St Peter’s

In order for you to support your child’s maths learning, we have created some guides to show the way we solve and record calculations at St Peter’s. Our St. Peter’s Catholic First School (Academy) Calculation Policy 2021 shows the progression of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division throughout the school, with examples for each year group. In addition, there are video clips shown below that guide you through each method.
