Inspire trip to Lichfield Cathedral

Rhino Class have had a wonderful day out learning about the importance of values in the beautiful setting of Lichfield Cathedral.

The children were so well behaved and really enjoyed all the activities which included a historic tour, singing in the Chapel and even building using Minecraft!

The weather was absolutely brilliant and we even had the opportunity to eat our lunches outside in the sunshine.

Rhino Jubilee Celebrations

Rhino Class have had a great day celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

They all looked fantastic and enjoyed all of the activities that had been organised. They were very creative during the royal themed art with Mrs McGrath and thoroughly enjoyed the dance session that Mr Hughes had organised. They loved Mrs Crow’s party games and finished the afternoon by singing some royal themed songs with Mrs Kassel-Fell.

What a lovely afternoon.

Welcome to the brand new class page for Rhino Class

You can now also scroll down and click on the class apps to access some really useful websites to support learning at home.

IMPORTANT – RHINO class closure

Unfortunately Mr Glover has now tested positive for covid, so we cannot staff Rhino class on Monday. We are going to put in place the same closure period as the other classes: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for the time being and try to get a supply teacher in place.
Mr Hughes is now the last man standing, so we want to do our best to keep the Jaguars safe and well. Please can Jaguar children carry out a lateral flow before returning to school on Monday and please can we ask that you do not send them in if they have symptoms or precautionary symptoms. The children who have tested positive have mostly had headache or tummy ache.

We are so sad and sorry to have to do this but the most important thing is to get everyone well again.

Take care everyone and thank you for your understanding.

X Tables Check – Year 4

The year 4 x times tables check is scheduled to take place this academic year during the summer term, around June time. This will involve all year 4 pupils taking an online x test. The format of the test will be for the children to answer 25 questions in a given time. We will be covering work on this class as well using laptops and ipads to practise a version of the test itself. But it would be really helpful if you could support your children at home to help them learn all their x tables up to 12 x 12.

Click on the link below to access an example of the test to have a practise. There are 6 seconds to answer each question and questions are generated randomly from the 1 to 12 x tables.

Times Tables Check Test

You can also use the Top Marks website to practise x tables with a game called Hit the Button. Here you can choose a x table to practise as well select division to practise x tables using the inverse method. Click on the link below to access.

Hit The Button

The children are also bringing home a x tables poster and x tables work book. They can display the poster at home and use the book to practise x tables as well as record the tricky bits, patterns and top tips to help them remember each x table by heart.

Please encourage your child to practise and learn their x tables as often as possible. As well as helping them with the x tables check it is also such an important life skill.

Below are some useful documents:
