New Atlases

We would like to say a huge thank you to our amazing PTA for our brand new atlases for both KS1 and KS2. They are just fantastic and we have already put these to use in class.

Number Day

Today, children took part in Number Day.

All the children were placed in their sport’s day houses for the day and rotated around four different maths related activities in each class.

In Panda Class, children learnt how to complete Sudoku puzzles using colour and shapes to help their understanding, while in Tiger Class they played bingo and used the laptops to access x tables rock stars to work on their x tables. In Rhino class, they played board games to work on their number skills and calculations and in Jaguar Class, children played games including a musical chairs style fitness activity involving number as well as calculation games using positive and negative numbers.

It was a great day and it was so nice to see our older children being able to support and encourage our younger children. We would definitely like to do something like this again. Thank you to all staff and teaching assistants for helping to organise such a successful day.

Thank you also to all parents for helping the children dress so creatively. I think the children have had a great day!

New school office is now open!

The new school office is finally ready and Mrs Smith has now moved in and made herself at home. I’m sure you’ll agree, it looks amazing!

Please, can all parents now use the new entrance to access the school office.

Mrs Smith will now be in the office every morning from now on and no longer on the pupil gate. If you need to speak to Mrs Smith or hand something in, then please go to the school office after dropping your child off.

A member of teaching staff will continue to be on the pupil gate each morning to welcome you to school.

Many thanks

Using Turtle Academy

Today Rhino class have been learning to code using a programme called Turtle Academy. The children had to follow a series of lessons in order to learn how to draw simple and complex shapes. The further they go through the lessons, the more complex the shapes they can draw. They can even learn how to programme the computer to draw shapes with just one command. They really enjoyed doing this and worked really hard during the lesson.

Design Technology and Maths

Today, children in Rhino class have been very busy!

They have been using the laptops to help practise their x tables. The children love computer games, so using games and challenges is a great way to help them practise and they also like competing against each other, sharing their improvements and achievements.

The class have also been busy in the kitchen, making Pesto as part of their Design Technology work with Mrs Harris. The children worked in small groups to select and mix the ingredients and filled the corridor with most amazing aroma!

Here a few photos from today:

 

World Book Day

Wow… What a great day we’ve had in class today. Not only did the children look great, but the spoons they had made were just amazing. They had great fun sharing what they made and also discussing their favourite books.

Let’s Dance!

Children in Rhino class are really enjoying their dance lessons. What they manage to do in few lessons is amazing!
