Applying our maths learning to make games!

 

Last week, we applied our maths learning and used our new knowledge and skills to make a multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 board game! Every group did a really great job- the designs looked fabulous, I saw some super teamwork, and the questions which the children generated to add into each section were awesome! Great job guys 🙂 xx

Relaxed readers!

Class 13 loving their reading area!!

In class 13, we like to be very cosy and relaxed so we thought why not make our Accelerated Reader sessions super chilled?! Safe to say it’s a hit! We would love it to have a more cosy feel with cushions and blankets, but for now we are keeping in line with COVID guidelines and everything is wipe-able and safe 🙂

Crew Thurkettle are absolutely blowing me away with their reading and quizzing; keep it up everyone! You may have heard it mentioned by the children that at the end of next term, we will be giving away a voucher to our star reader! The children know what they need to do in order to win this voucher… I think its going to be a close one!!

 

Fabulous homework and home learning!

Big shoutout to Ruby, Henry, Bradley, Summer-Mai, Oliver, Miriam, and Ruby for the super work which they have been sending pictures of! We have got a range of expedition and maths learning. You have all done absolutely super! Keep up the fabulous work. 50HPs from Mr Mumby, Mr Oldridge, Mrs Shaw and Miss Thurkettle 😀

Keep an eye on our classroom to see some super learning, school updates, and more! Also, our homework menu is on there too if you feel like you want to complete some extra learning:)

 

D+T in class 13.

I was blown away by class 13’s amazing D+T skills and knowledge on Friday! We had lots of discussions around the purpose of packaging and which materials are more successful than others, we then disassembled some packaging to break them down into their nets, we identified 2d and 3d shapes, and then we build our own packaging from given nets! Busy busy busy! Everyone did a fantastic job. Super impressed. 🙂

And our last picture is of Travis for his amazing reading this week! We are all so proud of him, and his crew thought he was very worthy of star reader this week 🙂 xx

Conversation Starter

Do you ever ask your child what they’ve been learning this week only to get told ‘nothing’ or ‘I can’t remember’.

To try and help with this, each year group will share a specific question each week about that weeks learning to try and help get the conversation going. 

Let us know if it’s useful and helps children talk about their learning.
