  • TT Rockstars Launch Day

    Published 18/12/17

    We held a Times Table Rockstars launch day for which the children dressed up as their avatar rockstars and had regular opportunities to practice their times tables throughout the day, everytime their teacher started to play some rock music they had to leap into action and practice quick response questions to times tables relevant to their year group. 

    Knowing times tables instantly is crucial to children's future success in mathematics and at the Forest Federation we place importance on knowing all these tables by the end of year 4.

    We thank the children for their participation and ask that they practice regularly at home until they have secured quick recall of all tables.

  • School is OPEN as it stands now.

    Published 10/12/17

    Whilst we will aim to remain open tomorrow as long as there are enough staff to teach the number of children who attend as we have many, many families who all have work to go to and no childcare. If you feel, as a member of staff or parent that it is unsafe for you to travel then please let us know and stay at home. We will make sure that we have the correct ratios to remain open and will update you if this position changes.  I have been to school today and the main roads were passable but we will see if the thaw and freeze comes. Thank you for your understanding. We hope not to cause disruption. Mrs Gethin.
