KS2 Evening Performance – Thursday 12th December

Please can children be back in school no earlier than 5:15 for the evening performance.

Children will be sent home with their costumes so they can wear them back to school in the evening to minimise the need to change before and after the performance.

The performance will last around an hour so children whose parents are not attending the evening performance will need to be collected by 6:45pm.

Children who are booked in for Maths club after school on Thursday are welcome to stay in school and a member of staff will supervise them. It may be advisable to sent them with a snack.

Roman Mosaics

This week, Rhino class have been designing and making their own Roman Mosaics. Having already mixed their own colours and painted numerous pieces of paper in preparation, the children had to cut out uniform pieces and stick them accurately to reflect their deigns.

Rhino Class put the ‘Power’ into PowerPoint

This week the pupils in Rhino class have be learning how to use PowerPoint to record their learning. They have been learning how to use the programme to showcase what they have learnt about the Romans including details from their recent trip to Chester.

Today we learnt how to:

Open, save, create new slides, alter the theme, import pictures and change font types.

All pupils are excited to continue next week.

Anti-bullying at school

This week the children of the school participated in an interactive Anti-bullying assembly to learn how to combat and spot bullying behaviours both in and out of school.

Following this, pupils from Rhino Class took part in a workshop which included role play and practical activities. The children were awarded certificates for their efforts.

Well done everyone.

Roman Rhinos in Chester

Rhino class had a fantastic day in Chester furthering their studies of the Romans. As well as acquiring new knowledge, they were also able to showcase lots of their learning within sessions. The staff were particularly impressed by how much they have already learnt.

The Behaviour of all children was an absolute credit to the school which made me incredibly proud. Well done Rhino class.

Rhino Trip – Return Time

The final toilet visit is taking place and they are aiming to leave for 3pm. Mr Glover is hopeful that they will be back in Myddle for approximately 4pm. Please collect your child from reception.

Marvellous Mathematicians

This week, pupils in Rhino class have been developing strategies to calculate mentally including: bonds to 10 and add to the ones, doubles or halves and subtracting 9 by taking 10 and adding 1. After exploring and refining these techniques, pupils looked at a range of different calculations in order to apply what they had learnt. Working in their learning partners they were able to select the quickest method for each calculation. The pupils will be using these strategies again next week when, as a class, we look at problem solving.
