St Mary's Catholic Primary School
Working Together for the Good of Each Other
Maths
At St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) education is embedded within our
overarching curriculum that prepares our children for many different aspects of their lives.
Our overall goal is to help our children to become well-rounded individuals with strong character, who will eventually go out into the world of adults and be actively and positively involved in society. In order to do this, we are striving to create a conducive environment around the school and this year we have created our own specific Personal Development Curriculum that is entwined with our academic curriculum.
Our curriculum aims to provide engagement and enrichment and through this, we aim for all children to have equal opportunities to thrive together.
Year 5/6 Maths Revision Challenge
Our Maths lesson today involved working in pairs to complete a fractions, decimals and percentage challenge. The aim was to complete the task as quickly and accurately as possible. As always, the children rose to the challenge.
