Here is a gallery of our postcard, certificate and out of school achievement superstars from last week. I couldn’t be more proud of you guys. Keep up the good work!
Our Martha showed amazing leadership skills on Friday when she led groups of children to complete an investigation into our fingerprints as part of her class councillor duties. Think I need to up my game or she will be taking over my job!

It was great to see you all in red and joining in with all of the crafts and experiments we have had happening. Above are some links to the key stage 1 children singing their phase song too, which felt extra special today. They are little snippets of our community crew meeting and if you haven’t been invited in yet, please don’t worry because we can’t wait to see you soon!

Happy Red Nose Day! It is great to see so many of you dressed in red to show your support today. Thank you for all your generous donations. The school council have one last challenge for you! Over the weekend, we wonder how many different red things you can find.
You could have a look around your house or even venture outside on a walk. Count how many different red things you can find to share with your crew on Monday. You could even take some pictures or draw what you can see.
WOW, what a week it has been this week, from all of KS1 staff, a huge thank you for everyones hard word during our assessment week. We have seen some incredible improvements, especially in maths. I think that might be down to the wonderful work done on TTRockstars and Numbots.
Our stewardship shoutouts this week were for children who have been keeping their classrooms neat and tidy and taking ownership of their actions, choosing to tidy up after themselves but also doing it for their peers too. It is lovely to see such kind and helpful children in our phase!
We even had an amazing reading shoutout for Thea this week for getting her Gold reading certificate! What a superstar.
The best attendance this week goes to Crew Rodgers, well done to everyone in Crew Rodgers, who can beat them next week?!
Another HUGE shoutout to our Out Of This World’s this week. We found it so hard to choose this week, as everyone has worked so hard, but big well done to Lauren, Luna, Ethan, Ava, Reid and Ava-Leigh!!
I wonder who will be Out Of This World next week……
Today marks the start of British Science Week and we can’t wait to get involved when we get back to school next week. Each crew will take part in a fascinating fingerprint investigation led by the school council. We will also have science club attending the coffee afternoon (Wednesday 15th) to share some of the exciting things we get up to at science club.
In the meantime, there are a few challenges you can get involved in at home and bring into school next week.
For Tuesday – Create a timeline of scientists through history. What are some of the greatest discoveries and who made them?
For Wednesday – Invent like a Victorian. Channel your inner inventor and design something to make life at home easier.
For Thursday – See and Eat Vegetables. Investigate the connection between how vegetables grow and how they end up on your plate.
You could also find your own investigations to try! Send any pictures of you being a scientist to your phase leaders. We can’t wait to see what you get up to!
This week we are learning that ‘ow’ can make an /oa/ sound as in the words ‘blow’ and ‘snow’.
Our Shared Reader this week is called ‘Clever Crows’.

To continue with our Design and Technology case study and to generate recipes for our book product KS1 have been making healthy desserts today. We used skills such as chopping and peeling to create our parfaits which included foods from 3 of the 5 food groups that make up a healthy meal that has made up part of our learning in the case study. Why not ask your child to explain them to you? Below are photographs of the children from class 7 making their desserts. Great job guys…and a huge thanks to Mrs Clay for supervising the activity.
Here is a round up of all our postcard winners and certificate recipients from class 7 last week. What a bunch of amazing little people you all are. So proud of you guys!
