A new Maths Club launches at Community@67 in Keynsham

A new after school Maths Club is

1.  

   Maths@67 - Maths games and fun and homework help. Weds 4-5pm in term time at Community@67, 67 Queen's Road, Keynsham

 

being launched for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils at the Community@67 community

centre at 67 Queens Road, Keynsham. 

 

Starting 13th

June, Maths@67 will run every Wednesday afternoon in term time from 4-5pm for

Year 5 and 6 pupils from any of the primary schools in Keynsham and surrounding

areas. Castle, St John's and St Keyna have expressed

their enthusiasm for the project as a complement to their lessons. Children

can bring their maths homework and work through it under supervision with help

given when needed or just join in the fun maths activities on offer. The venue

is only able to take 12 – 15 young people, so if you are interested please get

in touch. Squash and biscuits will be provided during the break.

 

The club is

being run by Sheila Crocombe, an experienced maths teacher. She explains, "I

wanted to start the club to help local children to improve their confidence in

maths. Many children are able to achieve much more than they think once they

have a little extra help and they might even find that learning maths can be

fun."

 

Community@67

aims to run projects at the centre which benefit the local community.

 

Clare

Hudson, Chair of Community@67, says, "Community@67 and Maths@67 are run

entirely by volunteers. Whilst there are private tutoring options for maths

available in the area, the cost of the sessions puts them out of the reach of

many. Maths@67 will provide an affordable option and is very convenient as we

are based close to three of Keynsham's primary schools. There is a suggested

donation of £1 per child per session towards the running costs of the centre

but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds."
