Class 8’s fantastic shared reading
Key stage 1 are having a massive push on reading at the moment and I am so impressed with their progress so far in year 2! Keep it up guys x
Class 10 Are Backkkk!
Wow – what a crazy week and a half we have had settling back into school since the new year! Everybody came back so excited from their holidays, it was lovely to hear about everyone’s beautiful memories from Christmas 2024.
This term, our expedition is exploring the guiding question- what makes us human? and to hook us into our learning, the children have enjoyed a mix of different activities. We have made paper straw x-rays, play-dough digestive systems, giant squishy teeth and this week we’ve even managed to become electricians by investigating simple circuits in our first case study of science.
The fun doesn’t just stop at expedition though, as the children have been fully engaged with their new PE topic – dance, and they made a great first attempt at the All-Black’s Haka (check it out below – facial expressions and all!). And today, we have been working hard in our local community by litter picking in the KS2 playground – great job boys and girls!
On top of all this, it has been lovely to meet with you all for our SLC’s and if you haven’t managed to organise this with myself yet then please keep your eyes peeled for an email coming out with any remaining dates and times.
Reception Family Learning
We had a great afternoon learning about the secrets of sleep and a great bedtime routine. We were so lucky that lots of grown ups came to support us. We read some stories, had some hot chocolate and biscuits, practised brushing our teeth and enjoyed relaxing together.

Thanks so much to all of the children and grown ups that made it so lovely ☺️

Expert visitor in Reception
We were so lucky to have Mrs Booth and her 2 children join us for our Expedition session this morning. We are looking at how we grow and it was great to see some children of different ages and stages. We had lots of questions and we will be checking in again with the children again to see how they are progressing.
The children were lovely and calm to make sure the babies felt happy and safe.
Well done F2 and thank you Mrs Booth

Class 9 | Crew Reading
This afternoon, Ezra and Spencer have been reading a story to the rest of the class.
Understanding the Y4 MTC: What You Need to Know
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
Crew Taylor | Litter Picking
This morning, the children have been out litter picking down the school driveway. They’ve done a great job at making sure the school is looking as clean as possible.
This week’s sound is…
Class 9 | Electrical Circuits
This week, the children have been getting to grips with electrical circuits. We have been looking at how a circuit needs to be complete in order for electricity to flow around it as well as replacing different components to investigate the effect that it has on the brightness of the lamps.
