We listened to some African culture and watched people playing the djembes. We explored different beats and rhythms on our knees then on the djembes. We had so much fun – check out our beats! #LovePlover

Children Showing Courage
In crew this week we have been learning about courage. We thought about when we have been brave. We learnt a song about being brave. We made an anchor chart of our ideas and we will be looking to see who shows courage each day – so far children are on our courage crew wall for settling into a new school, being brave and not crying when coming into school, showing resilience to get back up when falling over. #LovePlover
Super mathematicians!
Miss Vines’ maths class have been working super hard in their new maths topic. Our current focus is multiplication and division. They are having to use their knowledge of timetables to help them in lessons and have been using resources to help find and prove their answers.
Keep up the awesome work Y3!

Creating Clay Masterpieces
Using clay, the children in Year 5 have created their own Tudor Roses, starting with simple shapes and gradually building up the layers and details needed to make the design recognisable.
Throughout the project, the children learned a range of new clay skills, including rolling, shaping, joining and smoothing. They used tools to add texture and detail and were encouraged to take care with their work so that each piece was finished to a high standard. Many children made small adjustments as they worked, improving their designs as their confidence grew.
The project required patience and focus, especially when shaping delicate petals and refining the final details. The completed Tudor Roses show the quality of effort put in, with each one slightly different and full of character.
Year 5 should be very proud of their finished pieces. The display of Tudor Roses is a great example of craftsmanship and quality. 🌹

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.

🐝Spring Spelling Bee
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
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
