Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go!!!!!

Class 9 have enjoyed excavating the school quad today and uncovering some possible medieval artefacts!!!

They used spoons, tweezers and brushes to find what they believe to be parts of old plates and cups and they could have been buried for hundreds of years.

They were very excited to become archeologists today and take on a new role and put into practice the skills that they had learnt about.

 

What fantastic learning today KS1, well done!

Snow fun this week

The children at school this week didn’t miss out on all of the fun yesterday and we managed to enjoy the snow a bit too! 😀 🌨⛄

Hope everyone at home had a break from school work and managed to get out in the fresh snow ❄

What you can achieve with a kind critique…

If you get a spare minute to read these fantastic dragon descriptions, you will be blown away!

The ambitious vocabulary choices, super punctuation and beautiful handwriting and presentation have improved on their good first drafts to create these master pieces.

I am so proud of their efforts and the way that they used the critiques to create a piece of work that they are extremely proud of.

Well done year 2

Year 2 parent’s challenge 😁

The children have been having a play with lolly pop sticks today to create their own 2D shapes. They have been sharing what they know and using mathematical vocabulary to describe their properties.

Parents challenge 😉

How to help your child’s learning???

Play a game to see if your child can guess which shape you are describing, using mathematical properties, for example…

I have 4 sides, 4 corners, 4 right angles and 2 of my sides are long and 2 of my sides are short. What shape am I?

Year 2 TT Rockstars

Hi everyone.

We will be emailing you over the next week or so with your log in details for TT Rockstars, a fantastic online times tables game where you can choose your Avatar and practise fluency in times table questions set by your teacher. Each time you play you will win coins to spend in the Rockstar shop on clothes and other musical accessories. Don’t worry if you cannot answer many questions at first…the important thing is to stick with your practising so you improve all the time…just like a real Rockstar! You will focus a a small number of questions presented in different ways to begin with and, as you become better at answering them, more will be added in until you are a times tables superstar. If you have any issues let me know and I will do my best to help you.

Look at for an email in the next week with your log in details, search for TT Rockstars on your search engine and away you go.

Have a great weekend Miss Rodgers, Mrs Shaw and Mrs Dutton x

Todays learning legend

Jacob deservedly was our learning legend today for absolutely smashing every task he was given today and for putting in 100% effort, in his adverb work, money activity and his RE reflection.

Mrs Miller, Mrs Roe and I are very proud of you Jacob, what a motivated Mo you are!
