Please see below some suggestions to work on and some online links which Mrs Banbury is advising for Year 2

Maths

The children are doing well with problem solving but their end-of term tests have shown that many children still struggle to

add and subtract simple numbers at pace,

i.e. 8+6=? / 4+5+6=? / 28+? =35

i.e. 10- ? =2/ 12-7=? / 56-? =51

count reliably in 2, 3 and 5 (forwards and backwards) at pace
halve numbers up to 20 at pace (especially 6, 7, 8, 9),
double numbers up to 20 at pace (especially 6, 7, 8, 9),
work out simple multiplications (2, 5, 10 times table) at pace.

How to apply for a mainstream nursery place in Hitchin for 2020/2021

How to apply for a mainstream nursery place in Hitchin for 2020/2021

Although our school does not have its’ own nursery, we wanted to make you aware of how to apply for a mainstream nursery place in Hitchin, in the academic year children turn 4. Parents have the choice of using their free hours of nursery entitlement between private providers or local authority nurseries. Parents need to approach individual nurseries about applying for a place.

In order to make the process easier for parents, all the schools in the Hitchin area with a nursery class, have aligned their application timeline. Although parents still need to apply to the nurseries individually, the process and time frame to do so is the same for all the settings.

The timeline below shows the application timeline for all nurseries in the Hitchin area linked to mainstream schools (Codicote, Highbury, Highover, Offley, Oughton, Purwell, St Andrews and Strathmore Schools). Please note that York Road Nursery has a separate timeline.

This timeline applies to nursery places for the settings listed above for admission in 2020/21 (children who turn 4 between 1/9/20-31/8/21).

Autumn 2019	Hitchin local authority nurseries linked to mainstream schools will make nursery admission information available on their websites.
Monday 3^rd February 2020	Applications open via school’s websites for Hitchin local authority nurseries linked to mainstream schools (online applications preferred).
Friday 13^th March 2020	Applications close for Hitchin local authority nurseries linked to mainstream schools.
Friday 24^th April 2020	Offers made to parents (via the same method as application was made).
Friday 1^st May 2020	Deadline for parents to accept/reject places. Continued interest offers will be made after this date.

All places are funded by County, have a qualified nursery teacher and provide the opportunity for children to experience being part of a school.
