Shared reading

In expedition today we all showed some fantastic decoding and listening skills when we completed a shared read about jellyfish. I listened to lots of children read the text and was really impressed by the improvement in their fluency.

Super lesson today guys, well done!

Problem solving

In maths this afternoon the children worked in pairs or small groups to read maths problems and talk through their methods of how to work it out.

I saw some fantastic conversations and coaching taking place. Keep up this super work!

Animal makaton

Class 8 were so lucky today that Mrs Woolley came in to teach the children some makaton signs for a variety of animals which linked beautifully to our expedition.

They played games, worked in teams and practiced the signs.

Great work crew!

Year 2 xp outdoors

Today was the first session of year 2 having their XP outdoors lesson. I can see lots of smiles in the photos and the children were very eager to share what they got up to so I can’t wait to see what they get up to this term.

Please remember to bring suitable outdoor clothing on a Tuesday. The next year 2 session will be on Tuesday 1st February. Thank you to all parents and carers for supporting us with this great opportunity for the children.

TT Rockstar Club

Check out their concentration!

I’ve been well and truly blown away the last couple of weeks at TT Rockstars by how hard the children are trying.


The focus and dedication they have got to beat their scores, or improve their times is fantastic!


We have certainly got some rock legends in the making here and I have no doubt that they will be whizzing through the multiplication test at the end of Year 4.

Well done everyone, see you next Monday.

P.s you’ve all got 30 HoWL points for working hard and getting smart even after the school day has finished!

Getting smart with an Equivalent Fractions treasure hunt!

Super proud of Crew Faulding today for their hard work and determination solving our Equivalent Fractions treasure hunt!


They worked great with their partners combining their knowledge to match the fractions to the correct equivalent, supporting each other when needed.

Keep up this up guys, you’ve all earned a whopping 50 ‘get smart’ HoWL points!

Year 3/4 Crew Assembly

It was great for our crew leaders to share some lovely shout outs about individuals in our crews today. Those people who have really gone that extra mile this week and got recognised and praised for their super attitudes towards their learning, it’s wonderful to hear!

Also, well done to Crew Myers on being the overall HoWL score winner this week. I wonder who it will be next week spinning the wheel for a crew reward?

Finally, a big well done to Crew Myers and Crew Faulding on being the attendance winners this week too! Let’s keep this going guys as we want to keep building our attendance money up!

Arithmetic practice

3 times a week in our arithmetic maths starter activities the children practice mental maths skills using the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

look at how engaged they are in their learning. They make me so proud!
