Happy Half Term!
You’ve all worked so hard and we are so proud of you all and your amazing efforts each and every day!! You super stars!
Moving forward….
I wonder…could you practice your spellings at least 3 times a week?Â
You should be able to spell these words by the end of Year 4.Â
Check out the spelling menu for some different ideas on how you could do this.Â
Don’t forget to share them with us either in school or upload to the classroom so we can hand out some HoWL points!Â
A huge well done to this weeks HoWL point winners! You are all setting a great example to your crews by working hard, getting smart and being kind. Keep it up!
Also, a shout out to Crew Faulding, Crew Myers and Crew Barnett on getting 100% attendance last week. Let’s hope that we keep this momentum after half term too!
It’s always great to get you all together and to celebrate lots of wonderful learning!
The picture says it all. So many wonderful maths related costumes! We even had a human calculator and a maths robot. To top it off everyone worked super hard in their maths sessions and Times Table Rock Star time. Well done class 13. Great effort!
It was great to see the children in mixed teams, working collaboratively and supporting one another!
Well done guys, it was fab to watch you demonstrate wonderful crew howls!
Ariel are asking you to support their campaign by pledging to make a change!
Washing colder is a big step towards a brighter future for our planet because did you know, the temperature of your wash makes up to 60% of your laundry’s CO2 footprint?
Can you challenge friends and family to lower the temperature next time they do their laundry? When Ariel hit 1 million pledges, they will donate £100,000 to WWF’s climate, polar and wider conservation work. Not only this, but they will also make a donation for every Ariel pods cold wash special patch that is purchased too.
Can you help us with this and pledge to make a change? Follow the link…

Good luck everyone!

In PE over the last couple of weeks, we have been learning and mastering the skills that are required to play Netball. We’ve focussed on the throwing and catching techniques whilst also developing our accuracy skills to throw our balls in to the net.
Next week, we hope to look at the rules of a match and then applying these skills within a match.
Well done everyone!

Notice for all students in Year 2 to Year 5!
Students in Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 have an amazing opportunity to become a Digital Leader within their class.
This is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their own individual skills when it comes to the latest technology. Children who are successful will get the opportunity to visit XP East and potentially the Apple Store to have further training on how to use technology including iPads, MacBooks and some of the other great products that are used throughout school. Our Digital Leaders will then become the experts who can then pass on their knowledge to others.
Below is a link to the Digital Leaders website where you can find out further information.

Applications will need to be sent to Mr Taylor by Thursday 3rd February explaining why you would make a fantastic Digital Leader. This can be done in a format of your choice including a letter, slides or even a video showcasing your IT skills.
We look forward to receiving your applications!
Yesterday, Year 4 went on a magical arctic adventure through our book ‘The Last Bear’. We used the hall and made it dark, twinkly and COLD to create the experience of life in the arctic.
The Children read extracts and investigated images from the story and made inferences about what has happened so far. After visiting each station, they then left their responses on the paper to show their understanding of the text. We were all amazed with the amazing learning behaviours in the hall and the great reading that was taking place.
Look at the AWESOME responses that were made from the story – absolutely great learning and understanding of the text and our Expedition so far! We are super impressed.

Some of year 3 and 4 enjoyed a game of ‘Star Wars’ at break time this morning. It was great to see children from all of the classes coming together.
