Friends of Hovingham School
The Friends of Hovingham School will be meeting in school on Tuesday 28th April
at 7:30 p.m. Please come along and help to plan future events and fund raising
activities. It’s a really friendly group and we would love to see lots of people
there.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park Visit
What a glorious day the children had at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park on
Wednesday and what a long way they all walked! Mrs Carte and Mrs Wood were
both full of praise for their good behaviour, enthusiasm and stamina! Well done
everyone!
Wildlife Club
The Wildlife Club met for the first time on Tuesday and
had great fun exploring the wildlife around the school
grounds. The club are looking forward to enhancing our
school as a wildlife haven. The Wildlife Club hope to build
a minibeast tower for school and individual minibeast
houses to take home. We would be grateful for any of the following:
Pallets
Logs
Canes
Clay plant pots

Great New Maths Website
Children in Class 2 have been subscribed to a trial of Mathletics which is a
website for practising maths. They all received their username and password
yesterday and got started in school. They have brought their details home with
them so they can also access it at home. It's another excellent way of
practising key skills from the curriculum in a child friendly way. It would be
great if you could encourage your child to have a go at home and then we can
decide if it's something that we would like to continue using. The website
is http://www.mathletics.co.uk/
Test Week 11 May
Many of the children will be completing tests in the week beginning 11
May. Children have worked very hard and we would like all children to do their
best in the tests. To support your child to do their very best, you could spend
some time going over some of the homework activities that they have been doing
this year. Practising SMIRF targets would be a really good way of increasing
your child's confidence in many areas of maths. Being able to recall facts
quickly will be a great help in the tests. Talking to your child about the book
they are reading and asking questions about the characters, setting, author's
choice of words, etc will practise skills needed for the reading test. For the
Y6s, spending some time revising the key word types (such as nouns, verbs,
adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, etc) will help them in the SPAG test.
Multiskills Competition
Our final team of children went off to the Howardian Hills multiskills
competition at Terrington yesterday and competed really well. This time we had
quite a young team, with several reception children taking part in an inter-school
competition for the first time which was great to see. Well done Nathan,
Barney, Gracie, Charlotte, Fiona, Felix D-A, Emily, Jake, Willow and Evie.
