We had lots of fun at the ice cream parlour this afternoon to celebrate finishing out SATs. It was so hard to choose between all of the delicious flavours!

Y6: SATs are over!!
Year 6 have made their teachers incredibly proud over the last week with their hard work and determination during SATs week. They all tried their absolutely best and we couldn’t have asked for any more!
We celebrated finishing SATs with a lovely ice cream at Morani’s this afternoon (pics to follow) and here we are celebrating afterwards! It was even more fun that we got to go in our pyjamas for pyjamarama day!
Times Tables Rockstars Day! 🎤🎸

National Numeracy Day – 18th May
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!

Good luck Year 6!
We just wanted to wish Year 6 children a huge good luck for their SATs this week!
We know that everyone will do their absolute best and we are all so proud of the hard work they have put in during these last few week in preparation.
Remember to do your best and keep smiling – you’ve got this!

A massive shout out for Friday’s winners for Out of this World. In year 5 we had Faith, Danny, Courtney and Lola, who have all shown excellent learning attitudes over the last couple of weeks. In year 6 we had Levi, Reion and all of Crew Knowles for their excellent attitudes as they have prepared themselves, ready to tackle their SATs this week.
Y6 SATs
As you are aware, next week is year 6 SATs week.
We would like to invite all of our year 6 pupils into school from 8:15 each morning for a light breakfast and chill with their friends before the SATs begin.
Tests will take place Monday – Thursday.
We hope you all have a restful weekend and look forward to having breakfast with you on Monday 🙂
Times Tables Rock Stars day!!! (International dance day) – Friday 29th April
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.
Red Nose Day 🔴
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!
Y6 Maths Support
Mr Mumby has made a fantastic maths website to support the Y6 children with their arithmetic skills.
On the website you will find lots of models to help the children with some of the different arithmetic skills that can be a bit tricky – there are also lots of practise questions to try afterwards.
All of our monthly arithmetic tests are also on the website so why not have a go at improving your score!
