We look forward to you joining us!
Please see the letter attached for Maths Week 2025 details:
Parents and carers of year 3 and 4 children are warmly invited to this term’s Family Learning event which focuses on our latest Expedition and our current case study: electricity! The session will be fun and interactive, getting hands on with circuits! We look forward to seeing you there! Please note, due to us needing electrical equipment, year 3 and 4 will take place on separate days which are as follows:
Year 3 Family Learning: 30th January 1:45- 3pm
Year 4 Family Learning: 29th January 1:45 – 3pm
The Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a key part of the school curriculum in England, designed to ensure that pupils have a solid grasp of their times tables up to 12×12. This check is crucial, as quick recall of multiplication facts underpins many other areas of maths learning, from fractions to problem-solving.
Regular practice is key. One highly effective resource for this is Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS). TTRS is a fun and interactive platform designed to help children master their times tables through engaging games and challenges. The platform focuses on building speed and accuracy in a way that keeps pupils motivated and excited about learning.
Whether used in the classroom or at home, TTRS provides targeted practice tailored to each child’s needs. It’s an excellent tool to help children build confidence and prepare effectively for the MTC.
I have attached guidance that we have received from the DFE.
Kind regards,
Mr Mumby
What a fantastic start to the term it has been for Crew Mumby! This week, the children have been fully immersed in Hook Week, sparking their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
Our budding scientists have had an amazing time exploring the human body, discovering how our organs work together to keep us alive and well.
The excitement didn’t stop there! Crew Mumby also dove into the world of electrical circuits, investigating how electricity flows and even creating their own simple circuits.
Hook Week has truly set the stage for an exciting term of discovery and learning in Expedition. Well done, Crew Mumby!
Please find below the parent overview and extended study for our LKS2 Spring expedition, ‘The Power of Life: What Makes Us Human?’. We look forward to our learning journey this term!
Today, the Year 4 Crews braced the cold and started XP Outdoors again for the spring term.
A fun challenge: Who still remembers how to use flint and steel?
After a quick demo, it was time to put those skills to the test. At first, there were some hesitant strikes, but soon sparks were flying! Everyone got the hang of it, and by the end, every single crew member nailed it. What a great way to start the term-bring it on, Year 4!
We were so pleased with the turnout for our presentation of learning / Christmas production on Monday – thank you to all who could make it! And, we were especially proud to be joined by our special guests, Keith and Mick, from The Victoria Cross Trust. They were thrilled to receive their gifts from the children and they now take pride of place amongst all their other awards and memorabilia in the Trust shop:
Well done to Hunter who has excelled in his recent football tournament! It is always great to share out of school achievements in our Crew.
