Work together to see how many maths words you can think of for each letter of the alphabet! I’ll let you into a secret … J is a very tricky letter so I’ll be super impressed if anyone thinks of a maths word starting with J!
Please send your responses to [email protected] and / or bring them in to show your teachers!
We can’t wait to see how many words you come up with and who has the most creative words!
This half term the children have been really enjoying learning the ‘split digraph’ sounds. This week we will learn the final split digraph sound u-e as in ‘huge‘ and ‘cube‘.
The children have continued to impress us with their reading skills during our daily shared reading sessions. Here are the books the children have been leaning to read in school for you to enjoy at home:
e-e: Every Good Thing
i-e: I am a Caver
o-e: Yig’s Trombone
u-e: The Music of the Sea
Look at these 2 fabulous young men who have jumped straight into their life skills home learning tasks for this term. Eli helped mummy by washing up the breakfast dishes and Charlie certainly knows how to impress by baking these delicious looking cookies and setting a couple aside for me! I can’t wait to ruin my diet with them!
What a great way to Get Smart by doing extra learning at home. 20 HoWL points each for you boys. Well done.
To celebrate maths week Class 6 and Class 7 have been entered into a tournament on TT Rockstars. The battle will commence at 8am tomorrow morning and will run until 8am on Friday. All correct answers the children log between these times playing the game on TT Rockstars will count towards their score in the tournament.
Watch out for more fun maths activities during the week and don’t forget Number Day on Friday where the children are invited to dress up in any maths or number related costumes.
Maths has never been so much fun! Good luck Rockstars!
We are very excited to announce that we are launching Times Table Rockstars for our classes! Your child will be coming home this evening with login details for an exciting game to help them with their times tables. Your child’s class teacher will have set tables to practise in the garage section of the game. The more they play in this section the faster they will progress through the tables they need to learn. We will be checking the ‘heat map’ each week to see your child’s progress and move them to the next table once they have learned the one they have been set. You can set your own tables in the jamming section but try to stick to ones the children are currently learning…2s, 5s and 10s for year 1 and 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s for year 2. I have attached a video here and a letter here which will give you more information about the game and it’s different levels.
Any questions please see your child’s class teacher.
ROCK ON ROCKSTARS!!!!!!!!!
Another great session with Coach Kyle today. We learned more about teamwork, dribbling and controlling the ball. Please remember to send OUTDOOR PE kit for our next session in 2 weeks time.
Well done to Martha and Reggie, our postcard winners today. Kepp up the great work guys!
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Take a look at these amazing young men who absolutely blew me away today with their can-do attitudes. Charlie has made fantastic progress in his phonics and spellings recently and used his learning of split digraphs to spell all his words correctly, Jackson earned a head teacher’s award sticker for his fantastic postcard writing in English and Reggie blew me away with his effort in maths.
So proud of you guys!
We had a fantastic first session of Kixx football skills this afternoon. Coach Kyle took us through our paces and we dazzled him with how good we already are at dribbling, shooting and controlling the ball.
We can’t wait for next week.
Please remember to send in outdoor PE kit for next Monday’s session.
