Video message from Mr Parker!

Posted on Thursday 23 April 2020 by Mr Roundtree

Good afternoon, Year One!

I’ve had a little go at recording a short video message for you as it has been so long since you’ve seen my face. It’s a bit odd seeing and hearing yourself on camera so I’m sorry if I come across a bit nervous!

Follow this link to view the message.

Enjoy!

Times Table Rock Stars BATTLE!

Posted on Thursday 23 April 2020 by Mr Wilks

Hello Y4 and Y5,

Tomorrow is BATTLE day on Times Table Rock Stars. Login anytime between 10:00am and 3:15pm on Friday to log a score. The year group with the highest score at the end of the day will be crowned the winners.

(Obviously, Year Y4 will win)

I’ve not done this before and I don’t know what it will look like at your end but it sounds fun and we all like a bit of competition! If you’re unsure of your login details, they should be in the front of your Home Learning books. If they’re not, email me or Mr Wain and we can help! My email address is [email protected]

Good luck and get practising (especially Year 4s)!
