The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Year 5 will now have PE every Thursday. This term we will be doing hockey. We will be outside when we can so please bring warm clothes.
Children do not need an XP Outdoors kit as they will be doing French this term.
Here is a little update of Class 11s first two week backs after Christmas, now that photos are full working!
In our hook week, we looked into our first Case Study, which will look at electricity and other fuels. We thought it was a great idea to walk around school and search for different electrical appliances. We found so many!
As part of our Case Study 2 hook day, we were looking at biology and more specifically flowers. We labelled the different parts of our artistic flowers and created some beautiful designs!
Next, we looked at the other part of Case Study 2, which will be looking into humans. We created some really fantastic x-rays, so lets hope these are the only x-rays for Class 11 this year!
This week we have started our Case Study fully and have developed our knowledge further of electricity and more specifically circuits. We worked well collaboratively and persevered to make the different circuits light up. Not only can we make circuits, we can name the components of a circuit!
Other great learning has taken place and more beautiful work has been produced, which we can’t wait to continue sharing!
On a personal note, thank you Class 11 for making me feel very welcome and a part of the Crew. Let’s keep being amazing and producing more wonderful work. Happy weekend, guys! 😆

We started a new unit of work in Pe today, where we are going to be practising batting a ball and catching it. We began by playing a warm up game and then explored our catching skills with a partner and then in a small group. I was really impressed…can’t wait to see what the batting skills are like next week.
please remember we do PE every Thursday so the children will need a suitable PE kit!
Thanks

Dear Parents,
We are writing to remind you about the Y6 maths drop-in session that will be taking place next week (Thursday 19th). This is an opportunity for you to come in and look at your child’s test papers, as well as access useful resources that can help support their learning in mathematics.
The drop-in session will take place from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and you are welcome to drop in at any point during that time. Our Y6 crew will be available to answer any questions you may have and provide guidance on how to best support your child’s learning.
We highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity as it will provide valuable insights into your child’s progress and areas where they may need additional support.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there! (Refreshments will be available too!)
Kind regards
Mr Mumby
Today we looked at finding and identifying the different features of a scientific report ready to write our own tomorrow!
