LKS2 Times Tables Meeting

19th January 2026Mrs Graves

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

19th January 2026Mrs Price

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.

🐝Spring Spelling Bee

19th January 2026Mrs Lewis

We’re excited to announce our Spring Spelling Bee, the second spelling bee of the year! It’s a fantastic opportunity for children to build confidence, practise key spelling skills, and celebrate their hard work in a fun and supportive way.

Children have until the week after half term (Monday 23rd February) to practise the weekly spellings in preparation for the event. Regular practice little and often will really help, and we encourage families to support children at home where possible.

 Please remember:
A new set of spellings will be shared each week, so be sure to check the blog weekly to stay up to date and make sure no spellings are missed.

We’re really looking forward to seeing how much progress the children make and to celebrating their efforts in the Spring Spelling Bee. Good luck to everyone taking part! 🌟

Playground Markings Expert Visitor

18th January 2026Joshua Meade

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

Demonstrating craftsmanship and quality in art!

18th January 2026Miss Blackham

I was blown away by these superstars who have produced the most beautiful Tudor roses out of clay I have ever seen! They drafted and re-drafted to make their final designs as accurate as possible.

I cannot wait to see them painted! 10 crew coins each for ‘working hard’.

Showing courage when peer critiquing writing 💙

18th January 2026Miss Blackham

6B demonstrated courage last week as they critiqued one another’s work. They created their own success criteria based on models of age related and greater depth writing. They supported one another’s in ensuring their work was the best it could be.
I really enjoyed reading their critiqued versions.

Well done superstars! 💙
