Who is Equiano? Hot Seating Activity
Last week, we enjoyed building our knowledge of Equiano and our class text by having a Hot Seat activity. Our Crew asked some awesome questions linking to slavery and our characters used inferences from the text and really immersed themselves into what it would have been like for Equiano. This also helped everyone to write some beautiful diary entries and letters based on the events of his life. Huge shout out to the people who were Equiano, you showed great courage and understanding of his life.
National Numeracy Day – 18th May
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!

Year 3 and 4 OOTW
Congratulations to the children in year 3 and 4 who got ‘Out of this World’ this week.
Building Background Knowledge- Time!
We’ve just started a new unit of work on Time in year 4.
We have covered some of this in Maths Talk, as well as in our maths lessons over the last couple of days but have a go at some of these and either fetch them in to your teacher or take a photo and put them on the classroom (they will be uploaded on there as well). We can’t wait to hand out some HoWL points!
Here are also some helpful links to some tutorials on time too…
Rounders Club!
Big shoutout to Year 3 and 4 Rounders after school club! Lots of brilliant teamwork and skills yesterday – I was so surprised with how many rounders we scored! Great effort everyone!

XP Outdoors – Year 4 Reminder
Just a quick reminder that Year 4 will be starting XP Outdoors every Tuesday morning with Mr Kershaw.
Children will need to bring a spare change of clothing including suitable footwear to change into for the session.
Also, thank you to everyone who have returned their permission slips. Please can any remaining letters be returned to Crew Leaders so that children are able to take part in all of the activities.
Many thanks,
Miss Myers, Mrs Faulding and Mr Oldridge
Building Background Knowledge – Tribal Dancing!
This morning, we introduced ourselves to our new class text ‘The Adventures of Equiano’ and built our background knowledge of The Kingdom of Benin. This involved listening to tribal music and watching a variety of tribal dancing videos.
We had some fantastic tribal dancing and I can’t wait to see what happens to Equiano in the next part of the story.
