We would like to wish everyone a very lovely break and we look forward to seeing everyone in the new term, on Monday 16th April. 

Thank you to all the children and parents who attended our Maths Eggstravaganza this evening! We were so pleased to see so many of you come along to try all things Maths. So many happy children left with an Easter Egg after completing our challenge - it was so egg-citing! 

Thank you to all the parents who attended our Coffee Morning today. We discussed the topic of Attendance at school and how we are planning to improve the attendance of our children at IVJS.

This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been retelling and writing their own version of the Norse Myth, Thor and his Mighty Hammer, using ambitious words, subordinate clauses and many other language features.  In Maths, they have been consolidating their learning and revisiting place value and formal methods of calculation.
Year 4 – have been looking at how to represent tenths and hundredths as decimals in Maths and in English, they are writing a newspaper report based on the stolen apples from Noah Barleywater Runs Away.
Year 5 – have been looking at percentage of amounts in Maths, Year 5 found this challenging but by the end of the week they conquered these challenges. In English, they have started writing a diary entry as a crew member on Odysseus's boat. In Humanities, they have been looking at how the Ancient Greeks have shaped our world today. 
Year 6 – have enjoyed reading this half term's book, 'Varmints' by Helen Ward & Marc Craste.  They are now working on writing their own diary entries from the perspective of a varmint!  The children have also been spending time revising their grammar skills ready for next week's mock SATs.  

Iver Village Junior School will be having an Easter Bonnet parade for all children who would like to join in, on Thursday 29th March 2018.
All children are invited to create bonnets, or Easter headwear.  It can be a traditional bonnet or maybe a baseball cap or, indeed, decorating your child’s favourite dressing up hat, the choice is endless! 
Prizes will be awarded to bonnets that are creative and imaginative.  There will also be prizes for bonnets that use bio-degradable and recyclable materials

We are delighted to be returning to Iver Village Junior School to run a girls’ football club after school in the Summer Term. These sessions are designed for girls of all abilities, and will focus on skills, teamwork and most importantly having fun playing football. As a company we strive to empower girls to enjoy sport and get active in an engaging and safe environment. All sessions will be run by fully FA qualified and DBS checked coaches. The sessions will run on Wednesday after school (3:15 - 4:15) for 10 weeks, with the price for the 10 week block being £50 per child.
​Please note, we have sent this letter out as a paper copy.
