Be a Times Table Superstar in year 1 and 2!

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!!!!!!!!!

Class 7 superstars

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!

Class 7 Kixx

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.

Keep up all the hard work!
