National Numeracy Day – 18th May

9th May 2022Rebecca Knowles

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!

Building Background Knowledge- Time!

6th May 2022Amy Faulding

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…

XP Outdoors – Year 4 Reminder

25th April 2022Sophie Myers

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

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.
