Parents and carers of year 3 and 4 children are warmly invited to this term’s Family Learning event which focuses on our latest Expedition and our current case study: electricity! The session will be fun and interactive, getting hands on with circuits! We look forward to seeing you there! Please note, due to us needing electrical equipment, year 3 and 4 will take place on separate days which are as follows:

Year 3 Family Learning: 30th January 1:45- 3pm

Year 4 Family Learning: 29th January 1:45 – 3pm

TT Rockstars/Numbots

16th January 2025Simon Gerrard

I know a number of people at SLCs were asking for TT Rockstars and Numbots passwords.

It should be the first name and then the first initial, with the password being 123.

For example, username: Michaelg , password: 123

We’ve spoken about the importance of completing these this week in class and I can’t wait to see how much we improve!! 🙂

Year 3 Reminders and Updates

16th January 2025Claire Dutton

Just a few reminders for Year 3 now that we’ve settled back after the Christmas break:

  • PE is on Mondays – please ensure your child has their PE kit with them.
  • XP Outdoors is on Wednesdays – please ensure your child has appropriate outdoor wear with them for this activity.
  • Please bring your school / AR reading book and reading diary to school everyday. You can find your login details for AR Reading and TTRS in your diary so this needs to be at school each day and at home each evening / weekend.
  • Weekly spelling will be shared via the blog. Please check in and practise these at home.

For this half-term, Year 3 are lucky enough to be receiving an extra PE session from our partner, YourPE. This will take place each Friday morning starting tomorrow so please ensure your child has their PE kit on Fridays too.

Thank you for your ongoing support, Mrs Dutton and Mr Taylor.

A visit from Mrs Booth

16th January 2025Selina Burton

On Wednesday we were so lucky to have Miss Smith visit with her two children, Baby Nancy and Baby Chad. The children loved seeing them. This was part of our Expeditionary learning, thinking about how we grow and change.

Following their visit we spoke about how we have grown and changed and enjoyed looking at our baby photos.

Class 10 Are Backkkk!

15th January 2025Claire Dutton

Wow – what a crazy week and a half we have had settling back into school since the new year! Everybody came back so excited from their holidays, it was lovely to hear about everyone’s beautiful memories from Christmas 2024.

This term, our expedition is exploring the guiding question- what makes us human? and to hook us into our learning, the children have enjoyed a mix of different activities. We have made paper straw x-rays, play-dough digestive systems, giant squishy teeth and this week we’ve even managed to become electricians by investigating simple circuits in our first case study of science.

The fun doesn’t just stop at expedition though, as the children have been fully engaged with their new PE topic – dance, and they made a great first attempt at the All-Black’s Haka (check it out below – facial expressions and all!). And today, we have been working hard in our local community by litter picking in the KS2 playground – great job boys and girls!

On top of all this, it has been lovely to meet with you all for our SLC’s and if you haven’t managed to organise this with myself yet then please keep your eyes peeled for an email coming out with any remaining dates and times.

Reception Family Learning

15th January 2025Amanda Wallace

We had a great afternoon learning about the secrets of sleep and a great bedtime routine. We were so lucky that lots of grown ups came to support us. We read some stories, had some hot chocolate and biscuits, practised brushing our teeth and enjoyed relaxing together.

Thanks so much to all of the children and grown ups that made it so lovely ☺️
