Times Tables

We are so impressed with the children who are working hard to learn their tables. It is impressive how well some are doing and it is impacting positively on their maths.

Year 3: make sure you are confident with x3, x4, x8.

Year 4: Please focus on your 9 times table this week. Don’t forget we have the Tables Check in June so keep going!

Red class news

While Year 4’s were away, Year 3 worked on a project with Mrs Stalmans on Morocco. They learnt a lot and were able to tell us all about it.

They found out where Morocco was. They looked at tessellation and symmetry in maths. They created their Islamic tiles which look amazing. They also tried some different foods including flatbreads and couscous.

Today we watched an assembly on Ramadan and Eid.

Eid Mubarak to families celebrating!

Group 1: meet, meat, hear, here

Group 2: meet, meat, hear, here, hour, our, there, their

Group 3: meet, meat, hear, here, hour, our, there, their, groan, grown

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.

Poetry performances

We would like to say a huge well done and thank you to you all for the amazing performances you gave this week for the poetry competition. You should all be so proud of yourselves as we thought you were such superstars to stand up and perform your poems off by heart with so much confidence. Well done Red Class!
