Class 6 Times Table Rock Stars Accounts

Tomorrow the children in class 6 will be bringing home their log in details for their TT Rockstars accounts. Please keep these safe so that the children can begin to practise their times tables on this exciting and fun platform. The first time they log in they will be invited to chose their rockstar personality and select their style from the TTRS shop. As they play they will earn coins to purchase different looks and accessories. How cool is that?

Children’s University Reading Programme

Evening everyone

Tonight the children have brought home some wonderful resources provided by the Children’s University to encourage and promote a love of reading. In the packs is a reading map which should be ticked every time the children read, whether it be to an adult or simply for pleasure, as well as lots of fabulous stationary for the children to keep. We have begun to fill in the maps today in reading crew. Please click on the link below to watch a video which will explain the programme in more detail.

As you all know, reading early and well is one of the most important skills we can develop in our youngsters and this scheme is an awesome way to encourage this.

If you have any questions please ask.

Outstanding HoWLs

Take a look at class 6’s superdooperstars for today. All of these little smashers showed fantastic Get Smart and Work Hard learning habits by displaying excellent effort or pushing themselves for green standard.

I couldn’t be prouder of you guys. Keep up the good work.

Map-tastic geography work

Class 6 have been geographers today by using and following an aerial photograph to find their way around school. It was quite tricky at first but we began to get the hang of it by the end of the session.

Check out the photographs below to see how we did.

Great job guys!

Phonics drop in

Just a little reminder that on Wednesday there will be a phonics drop in for all parents who have children in EYFS and year 1. If your child is older but you know that they still find phonics useful then please still come along if you can. It will help you to know how to support your children with their phonics learning and give you an insight into what we teach your children in these sessions.

There are 2 sessions; one at 9am and one at 3.15pm. They will be the same presentation so you only need to attend one of them and they won’t last longer than 30 minutes.

We look forward to seeing you there

Reminder for the key stage 1 celebration of learning

****If you haven’t already let your teacher know or completed the form please do…the more families that attend, the more proud the children will be of their fantastic work! ****

We are so excited to finally invite parents to see the fantastic video that our children made during the Autumn term. The expedition was called ‘ What will I do to be a superhero in my community?’ and we believe that this video showcases all of their hard work throughout the term.

We would like to invite all parents and carers to XP East for our film premiere on Tuesday 17th May 2022. It will begin at 5pm and last for approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

We would love if the children could come in their best party clothes, just like the movie stars do at a film premiere. There will be refreshments available.

Please let teachers know how many people from your family will be attending. It would be great to see as many faces as possible at the event to really celebrate the children’s learning!

Please complete the following form by clicking on the link below so that we know how many people will be attending. Alternatively, please speak to your class teacher to let them know who will be coming from your family.

Rockin our socks off!

We all know how much I love a dress up day but today was just off the charts!

Check out the gallery below for a little taste of the fun we have had today with the re-launch of our Times Table Rockstars app. The website gives the children the chance to win virtual coins to spend in the TTRS shop to buy cool new outfits and accessories while practising age related number problems in a fun and exciting environment.

I will set up the children’s accounts over the weekend and send out log in details early next week. Watch this space…

Class 6…YOU ROCK!!!
