KS1 Community Crew

17th March 2023Samantha Good

WOW, what a week it has been this week, from all of KS1 staff, a huge thank you for everyones hard word during our assessment week. We have seen some incredible improvements, especially in maths. I think that might be down to the wonderful work done on TTRockstars and Numbots.

Our stewardship shoutouts this week were for children who have been keeping their classrooms neat and tidy and taking ownership of their actions, choosing to tidy up after themselves but also doing it for their peers too. It is lovely to see such kind and helpful children in our phase!

We even had an amazing reading shoutout for Thea this week for getting her Gold reading certificate! What a superstar.

The best attendance this week goes to Crew Rodgers, well done to everyone in Crew Rodgers, who can beat them next week?!

Another HUGE shoutout to our Out Of This World’s this week. We found it so hard to choose this week, as everyone has worked so hard, but big well done to Lauren, Luna, Ethan, Ava, Reid and Ava-Leigh!!

I wonder who will be Out Of This World next week……

KS1 are hooked on opera!

20th February 2023Jayne Rodgers

What a fantastic hook back into our learning after the half term holidays we enjoyed this afternoon. Mr Lamb, who had already given us the benefit of his expert knowledge about castles earlier in the year, came into school to explain what being an opera singer entails. He talked us through the process of learning and practising a song, and showed us the costumes and make-up he wears when performing. We joined in with some vocal exercises before Mr. Lamb performed part of ‘Toreador’ from the opera, Carmen. The children were transfixed! They then were allowed to try on some of the hats and masks that Mr Lamb wears. What an amazing experience. Thank you so much Mr Lamb.

Y2 TTRockstars!

3rd February 2023Samantha Good

WOW what a week it has been for TTRockstars in year 2! In class 8, Macky was our class winner, racking up nearly 7,000 coins! However Charlie W smashed it right out of the park for class 9 with a WHOPPING 12,457 coins!!!

There has been so much fun and engagement with the whole thing and it is wonderful to see so many children loving practising their times tables. If you haven’t been on yet, give it a go! You might even beat Charlie and Macky….. I wonder who will win the competition next week…

Be a Times Table Superstar in year 1 and 2!

27th January 2023Jayne Rodgers

We are very excited to announce that we are launching Times Table Rockstars for our classes! Your child will be coming home this evening with login details for an exciting game to help them with their times tables. Your child’s class teacher will have set tables to practise in the garage section of the game. The more they play in this section the faster they will progress through the tables they need to learn. We will be checking the ‘heat map’ each week to see your child’s progress and move them to the next table once they have learned the one they have been set. You can set your own tables in the jamming section but try to stick to ones the children are currently learning…2s, 5s and 10s for year 1 and 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s for year 2. I have attached a video here and a letter here which will give you more information about the game and it’s different levels.

Any questions please see your child’s class teacher.

ROCK ON ROCKSTARS!!!!!!!!!

Academic Crew in Crew Good

8th November 2022Samantha Good

Today in crew we focused on our academic achievements, particularly our recent spelling test. We have found 2 things- some of us are amazing at spelling, some of us are amazing at writing a full sentence, however our new goal is to work hard to make sure we are doing both!

So this morning we have practised our spelling but with a bit of handwriting too, we are getting so good at our pre-cursive handwriting! Well done Crew Good!

Class 8 Become Builders

7th November 2022Samantha Good

Last week class 8 became builders as we explored materials in our Science lesson. The children had time to independently explore the different types of materials and choose which they would like to use to build their very own castle. Some chose to build their own castle in the style of Lincoln Castle, with a draw bridge and a tower, others had a more abstract approach, but everyone worked hard in their teams to build a castle. We had a choice of wooden building blocks, large plastic building blocks, smaller lego style materials and other resources from around the classroom.

We all had lots of fun and really improved our team building skills while we were at it 😀

Another wonderful shoutout this week to our Out Of This World children too; Tilly, Grace, George, Hunter, Lennie and Reeva, who have all worked SO hard to follow our HOWLs and be the best versions of themselves.
