Welcome back
Today, we were able to welcome our children back into class. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces first thing this morning. The children have had a great day and have all settled back into school life. We started our day by sharing our feelings and emotions. Following this, we have had a fairly relaxed day and have spent a lot of time chatting and catching up with each other.
Here are a few quotes from the children.
I’m so happy to see my friends.
I’m looking forward to being able to play with my friends.
I have missed my teachers.
I feel excited but a little bit nervous ,too!
I feel really proud of all the home learning I managed to do!
My family are very proud of me.
I feel really cool to be back at school.
Please can you return your child’s reading books, library books and home learning books as soon as possible – thank you.
Back to school
We’re excited for all the class to be back in school this week.
Here’s a few things to remember.
Please do take time to read the daily news messages for more information about our reopening including the parents’ guide.
PE will continue to be on Tuesday and Thursday so children will need to come in their outdoor PE kit on those days.
Please bring any reading books, library books and your child’s reading record book from home. We’ll be sending books home on a Monday and Thursday and children will visit the school library on Mondays.
Finally, we’d love to see your child’s home learning book so please send this to school. After we’ve had a look through it, we’ll keep it at school until the summer when your child will bring home all of their learning books.
We made it!
Nine weeks of home learning later and we are ready to welcome back the children this week.
It’s been great to see the children have been working hard at home right until the end. Well done, Year 1 – we are very proud of how you have adapted over this strange time. We’d also like to send a big thank you to all your adults at home who have supported you.
Here’s a selection of this week’s learning.
Finally, here are the Lexia and Numbots certificates for this week.

Welcome back!
We are very excited to welcome everyone back next week. We have lots of exciting things planned around our topic of ‘Growing’.
I wonder how much you have grown?
See you very soon!
Here is a quick message from us.
Home Learning Heroes
Thank you SO much for all the hard work that you’re doing at home and for sending it in.
Here are some highlights of this week’s home learning heroes.
We’ve been scientists learning about the circulatory system…
… historians evaluating and creating propaganda posters…
… super spellers using a variety of different rules and strategies…
… editors looking out for must do errors with a keen eye…
… and mathematicians solving equations and using algebra.
I’m very much looking forward to seeing you all on Monday – it’s been far too long!
Thank you, again, for all your hard work and engagement.
Take care and see you soon!

We’re back!
Hello Year 4s,
I can’t wait to see you all next week! Click here for a quick message from me.
Also, check out some of the brilliant learning you’ve have sent me from the last couple of weeks….
Times Tables Rock Stars: tournament time
Calling all Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS),
It’s great to see that so many of you have been rocking those times tables as part of your home learning.
ALL classes are putting on great performances so now we’re raising the stakes.
Each week, you will be competing in a tournament with the other KS2 classes. The scores of you and your classmates will be added together to decide who will achieve the honour of being… ROCKSTARS OF THE WEEK!
In fact, we set up a warm-up tournament last week and the results are in…
Congratulations to Year 3 who achieved a WHOPPING 734 correct answers.
Who will reach top spot in the charts next week?
Rules for the gig are simple:
- Log on to TTRS.
- Play on any game mode. We recommend Garage and Soundcheck.
- Check the class news page on Mondays to see if your class is the weekly winner. If you practise at the weekend, your scores will still be counted.
All the best, TTRS!
Well Done Year 2
Hi Year!
Please watch this short video from me.
I look forward to seeing you all next week!
See you soon, Year 1
We hope you all enjoyed a happy and healthy half term. Following the announcement last week, we are very much looking forward to welcoming the children back on Monday 08 March.
As part of the home learning, you will have noticed we’ve begun our new history topic (Heroes) and science learning (plants). We are encouraging all the children to watch these videos before returning to school as this learning will continue in class.
Thank you for all the learning you have shared with us. It’s been great to see the learning and activities the children have been keeping busy with at home. Here’s the latest selection and keep working hard this week!
We’ve also had some children reach their next level in Numbots and Lexia. These are great resources to keep up the children’s maths and reading/phonics skills. Well done to the following children.
Numbots
Sophie
Lexia
Rory, Erica, Avneet, Saavi and Victoria
If your child has reached the end of the Lexia Year 1 learning (completed Level 5), please use Phonics Play (Login Sphere Password Spher3) as an alternative.
World Book Day
It’s World Book Day on Thursday 04 March and we thought that children might like to join in with the celebrations on our Zoom calls by getting dressed up as one of their favourite story characters, or you might want to bring your favourite book instead. You might have a costume already at home, or a t-shirt with a picture of your favourite character on the front.
Please DO NOT purchase anything special for the Zoom call, we’re sure that everyone has something at home that you could use. If you’re struggling to find something or your child doesn’t want to dress up, that’s fine as well. Again, please don’t worry or feel you need to buy something.
