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!
Miss Wilson
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.
Super learners!
I have really enjoyed seeing your home learning this week-especially the science experiments. Some great volcanos and Superhero Snot!
Don’t forget our Zooms this week. You will need paper and something to write with for a game of Bingo!
