Times Tables Rock Stars day!!! (International dance day) – Friday 29th April

20th April 2022Luke Oldridge

On Friday the 29th April, we will be having a rock star dress up day in years 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1. Times Tables Rock Stars is an excellent site which helps children practice and improve their times tables. All children in these year groups have a login. To promote it’s use across school, we are encouraging children to dress up as rock stars on the above date. Not only will children have the opportunity to use this site on this day, we will be linking it to International Dance day which falls on the same date. Therefore, in the afternoon, children will also be dancing and crews will be making ‘rock-style’ music videos. Pictures and videos of the day will be blogged by each crew.

Well done to the winners of the ‘Design a Red Nose’ competition! There were some fantastic entries but the school council voted and decided that these would be the winning entries. Well done to all who submitted an entry.

We are also pleased to announce that the school managed to sell £300 worth of red noses in the run up to the event before raising a further £301.58 through donations when wearing something red. Thank you to every one for your generous donations!

Diversity Session 2

31st March 2022Valentina Tortora

In this diversity session we looked at hope and empathy, the children were really engaged in this and really thought about our HOWLS in relation to this. To end the lesson the children created their own posters for things they hope will happen and their aspirations in life.

We then displayed their posters around the classroom so everyone could admire each others hopes for the future and had a lovely gallery walk of these.

Family day and celebration of learning

Becoming musicians

17th March 2022Valentina Tortora

Today in expedition the children embodied musicians and put everything they had learnt into practice. They were listening and following standard notations and the beat of the music. They then made their own graphic notations and music to follow.

I can see a few musicians in our path – watch out for class 9.

Academic Crew – SLC Preparation

17th March 2022Valentina Tortora

In today’s academic crew we continued to delve into the student led conferences and this time scrutinised maths books to find a piece of work they were proud of and wrote about this to explain why.

They are becoming really confident talking about their work.
