Viking Day

Today the children in Blue Class had an enjoyable Viking theme day. They all devised their own Viking name and family name; we listened to Viking sagas from Olaf – the Viking; we designed our own farm; we had an afternoon of art and craft; and interspersed these activities with Viking Bootcamp.

End of SATs week

Congratulations to all our year 6 who have finished their SATs this week. They worked incredibly hard, remained focussed and did their absolute BEST. Well done year 6.

Our annual trip to Pizza Hut for a buffet lunch, following the end of the tests,was a great success. The children’s behaviour was impeccable, and I think we all ate as much pizza, salad, and ice cream as we possibly could!

Also, many thanks to our Year 5 who have supported their classmates and been very flexible moving between  rooms and having different teachers. Your treat is no homework this weekend.

See you all next week – curriculum back to normal. Don’t forget Viking Day on Thursday.

Have a restful weekend.

Blue Maths Homework

Year 5

I have allocated some activities on co-ordinates on Classroom secrets kids as this was our focus at the beginning of the week.

Year 6

The Monday booster group have two sets of questions which were started in school to complete.

Friday’s booster group will have their homework set with Mrs Benson on Friday morning.

Don’t forget that we are here to help – it’s great that you ask when particular topics come up in revision that you want us to go over. We are always happy to fit these into breaks, lunchtimes or booster groups if it is something which needs focused support.

If something comes up during homework, you can always use the video tutorials in Classroom secrets to get help when you are at home. This can be helpful if you just need a quick reminder and saves you worrying over the weekend. ( They have maths and SPAG video tutorials.)

Poetry Competition

We are so proud of all our children who have learnt a poem for their homework and recited them to their classes. It is wonderful hearing such a variety of poems and poets – some children have even written their own poem. Today the teachers and TAs had a very difficult job picking out the ten finalists from KS1 and KS2 to go forward for the poetry competition on Tuesday. All semi- finalists were fabulous and had clearly been practising their poem as they were so polished. Well done all and thank you for supporting your children

We are looking forward to the finals on Tuesday when we will hear the ten finalists from EYFS/KS1 and the ten finalists from KS2. The children who are involved have taken a letter home to invite their relatives to the recital.

Parents’ Evening

Just a quick reminder that we have parents’ evenings on Tuesday 21st March and Wednesday 22nd March. We have noticed that there are quite a few children for whom no appointment has yet been booked.

This is an opportunity to see your children’s books and to discuss their progress and recent assessments.

Bookings should be made online through the page on the school website.

We look forward to meeting with you this week.
