Thank you to all the parents who came to our first KS1 reading event this afternoon. It was lovely to see the children enjoying a book with their parents. We hope you enjoyed it.
Please look out for the next date.

Arithmetic wizards!
We have been practising arithmetic since we came back to school and the children have been working so hard to apply their knowledge of column method and arrays to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Everyone has worked so hard and I am so proud of you all. Well done to the children below who got full marks today! Amazing effort guys, keep it up.

Reading and Homework in Year 1 and 2
This week the percentage of children who have recorded their reading at home is quite low.
| Week 3 | This Week |
| Crew Bubb | 20% |
| Crew Carter | 54% |
| Crew Meade | 53% |
| Crew Jobber | 40% |
| Crew Lewis | 12% |
| Crew Pickering | 12% |
To ensure the children continue to work hard and get smart, we have started a little competition between the crews.
Each FRIDAY the children will bring home a homework sheet. This will have a space to record their reading on and some maths and spelling homework.
The children will have until the following THURSDAY to complete the homework and return to their crew leader.
This will replace the reading logs.
The children that complete their home learning, will earn points towards a treat at the end of the term. But they can only earn points if they return their homework! Children will be able to complete this at school as well if needed, during a lunchtime club.
We understand that it is a whole family effort, so we will also be running a raffle for a parent prize. Each time a homework sheet is returned we will enter into a small prize draw.
As part of this week’s Caring Crew, the children have been exploring the theme of kindness.
The children thought about their feeling and how actions can help to impact the feelings of others. The crews were challenged to choose a random act of kindness to do either as a crew or as individual pledges.Â
We hope you spot some of the children carrying out their pledges.
Experimenting the Importance of Exercise in KS1
All children in KS1 enjoyed being put through their paces this morning to complete a circuit of exercises! We learnt how important exercise is for our bodies, to improve our mental and physical health and to pump blood to the brain to help is learn more! We were hot, sweaty, panting, red faced and our heart rates were beating much faster! #LovePlover
Science – what do we need to survive?
Today we have been learning about the basic things we need to survive. The children enjoyed debating the things we need and the things we want.

Friday Football in KS1
The guys worked hard in their mini football matches afterschool today. #LovePlover
We are readers.
We have continued our exploration of the text ‘The Great Food Bank Heist’ where we have debugged words that we weren’t sure of the meaning of. We have then practised our retrieval and inference skills to further improve our understanding of the story.
Marvellous multiplying
This week in Y2 we have been learning about multiplication. We have been looking at repeated addition and thinking about equal groups and using ’lots of’ to help us understand how multiplication works.
