Just a quick reminder that although it is personal safety in our swimming lessons children still need a costume or trunks to go underneath their pyjamas or clothes. This will ensure they remain covered up when climbing in and out of the pool and Miss Brogan and Mrs Keegan do not get any unexpected shocks!

A huge well done to Super Susie who danced in a number of competitions this weekend! Of course she was amazing! We are so proud of you Susie!
A huge well done to those children who have received crew shout outs today! It’s so amazing to see so many children working to achieve their pledges! Well done!
Those of you who know me well, will know what I mean when I say I am a nag! No, not a horse, someone who pesters you until the desired outcome is complete. Well, today for the first time in my teaching career (almost 20 years) I have not had to nag once!
The pace and productivity of our class has been so phenomenal that the children earned themselves 20 minutes of free choice this afternoon. The part that has amazed me the most is that during this free choice time, most pupils chose to extend their learning by doing either personal revision, Home Learning or art based activities linked to our expedition.
I am so proud of all their efforts and perseverance!
Yesterday, the children took ownership of their own learning. We reflected on the subtopics which we have recently covered in our angles learning. The children then selected which subtopic they wanted to revisit and went to that station, they used WAGOLLS and peer coaching to support their learning and they answered a variety of fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions.
Today, the children completed their end of topic assessment and they all did amazing as a result of their honest reflections and hard work yesterday! I am really proud!
What a busy week! We have had two parents evening [thank you all for those who attended – those who didn’t due to prior arrangements please feel free to see me when you can] and the children have had two sporting events! The school day continues to be an action packed day so rest up children and have a lay in, you have earned it!
Remember your pyjamas for swimming next week and don’t forget your costume or trunks too!!
Pupils in 6H have been working really hard at home to extend the learning they have been carrying out in school. This has been displayed in the corner of our room and all pupils who have work up there are incredibly proud of their work.
I highly recommend this fantastic website which covers many topics which we cover in year 6. Not only does it have various maths SATs questions from previous years, it also has youtube tutorials demonstrating the methods and talking through the questions!
If you can show me you have been working on this website at home, you can exchange your evidence for a prize out of my prize box!
It was a very quiet afternoon in 5K as half the class was participating in an athletic event. Mr Whitfield and the pupils seemd to have enjoyed the afternoon out – hopefully we had some winners! Either way I am sure our children were good sports and represented the school in a good light with their best behaviour as always!
Today, these children recorded with Trax FM as part of their little school project. Next week, from 3:30pm-4:00pm the children will be on the radio every day, answering questions and telling jokes for the whole week. They were all fabulous and I can’t wait to tune in!
