Wow! What another fab disco we have all enjoyed for KS2 … lots of dancing, singing & sweet treats with our friends! Thank you to our Friends of GreenTop for organising 🙂
In Maths, we have been learning all about time. Children have recapped telling the time to 15 and 5 minutes on an analogue clock from Year 2 and we have extended this to read the time to any minutes past or to the hour. To help consolidate this learning please find some homework below that you could do at home over the half-term holiday. There will be 100 HoWL points for anyone completing the homework!
And, don’t forget, you can still practise telling the time just by looking at any clocks that you come across – anywhere! Why not challenge yourself to read the time every time you see a clock or a watch? Can you get quicker at doing this by the end of the week?!
Telling the time to 5 minutes – 3 levels of challenge! (includes answers)

A huge well done to this week’s Crew Champions in Year 3/4! It was inspiring to hear about the incredible effort you’ve put into your learning and how you’ve proudly earned your character trait badges — keep it up
A massive thank you to Andy who took the time to come in and speak to the class all about his job and his love for rocks! The children were so engaged with the session and loved getting to examine some of the different rocks that were brought in! What a fantastic way to introduce the children to our next case study!
Here is the spelling practice to support last week’s learning: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RJHuciFyhlwuECo30DNFrb2ahHjNd838/view?usp=sharing
We had a fantastic day at Magna today! We got the chance to explore the building and experience its fire, water, air and earth exhibitions as well as completing a hands-on workshop all about rocks and volcanoes. We also got to experience ‘The Big Melt,’ which showcased the start up of the furnace at the old steelworks, as well as finishing off the day on the brilliant outdoor play park!
A few bats, a tennis ball, and some makeshift stumps are all we need. It’s easy to set up, and even easier to get people involved.
Most days, as soon as the break starts, we head outside and get a game going. The format is really casual—just a few overs each, fast-paced, and relaxed. No pressure, just pick up a bat or ball and join in.
It’s been a great way to spend time in the sun, get some fresh air, and take a real break. There’s plenty of laughing, the occasional big hit, and some very enthusiastic fielding.
What’s nice is how inclusive it is. You don’t have to be good at cricket to enjoy it. Everyone gets a go, and no one takes it too seriously.Playing quick cricket at lunch has turned into something we all look forward to. It’s a simple way to break up the day, get moving, and enjoy a bit of sunshine and good company.
