LKS2 Times Tables Meeting

Thank you to those parents who were able to attend tonight’s meeting about the Year 4 Multiplication Check and how to support your child with time tables.

Here are the slides that contain the links to some of the suggested sites.

If you would like your child to come to the Year 3 and 4 Times Tables Booster Sessions on Wednesday mornings at 8:20am, please complete the Google form so we can pop them onto the register. They don’t have to attend every week, but it gives us an idea of numbers for the breakfast snacks we provide. Booster sessions will be starting next week on Wednesday 28th January. Please bring your child to reception.

African drumming – Playing djembes

We had a lovely time this morning playing djembes. We watched some videos of African people playing djembes. We explored different rhythms and the sounds that they could make. The children then played as they sang nursery rhymes.

Playground Markings Expert Visitor

On Friday we had Dave from Uni Play visit F2 to talk about playground markings, how they’re made, showed lots of designs, spoke about what machines are used and answered lots of questions our children had. We then went on a journey around our school playgrounds to test out some old playground markings, shared ideas of what the children would like and then we created our own. #LovePlover

Sweet stuff, science and super Rock Stars for 3G this week!

What a great hook week!

We started with chocolate tasting and then delved into the history of chocolate. We were introduced to the concept of Fairtrade and learnt about solids, liquids and gases with our expert visitor and scientist, Harry.

The week ended with our Rockstar day – kicking it off with the Rockathon times tables challenge. Everyone looked fantastic and had great fun on Times Tables Rockstars.

Looking forward to what comes next!

We’re On The Move

Our new expedition: We’re On The Move – wheels, wings and other things! In hook week we went on a local walk around our community. We walked and saw lots of other things moving: cars, buses, scooters, cyclists, birds, squirrels. We used our geographical knowledge and map skills to spot things in Intake. #LovePlover

Number Day in F2

We love numbers! Maths is fun! Today we celebrated number day with lots of learning and fun activities all linked to numbers and maths. We worked hard to make our own number track games, match numbers, make numbers, jigsaws, bee bots and dominos! As well as using our counting skills outside! #LovePlover

Planting Seeds

Nursery have planted some seeds so that we can learn to take care of living things. Each child could choose whether they wanted to plant broad beans, cress or sweet pea flowers. We spoke about what seeds need to grow and how to take care of them. We can’t wait to watch how they grow over the coming weeks.
