A huge thanks to all our family members who came to our family learning event this morning. The children were very interested to find out the answers to questions such as…what was your favourite lesson?, what did you do at playtime? and what school did you go to?.
A special thanks to class 6’s experts, Eva’s mummy, Reeva’s mummy, Thea’s mummy and Ezra’s Nanna (and Hero) who gave us great answers to our questions.
We are looking forward to celebrating National Numeracy Day on Wednesday 18th May!
Maths is all around us and in the run up to National Numeracy Day, I would love for you to take some photos of you that link to maths! Maybe it will be a picture of you using money to pay for something in the shop, maybe it will be of how many steps you have walked in a day, or maybe it will be of you practising your maths skills!
How creative can you be finding maths around your home and in the community? Please send all of your photographs to [email protected] so that I can make a video to celebrate maths!
Also, check out the official website (link below) because there are lots of fun activities that you can do with your children!

WOW some awesome achievements this morning, celebrated as a phase crew! Well done to our Be Kind, Get Smart, Work Hard shoutouts, some fantastic HOWL point winners and we even had a Silver reading certificate for Charlie. Remember KS1, keep reading to get these awards 😀
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?
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.
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.
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!

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
