Multiplication Tables Check

We have been on the official tables check site today and Year 4 have been able to ‘try it out’ before doing the official check next week. We are going to do the same every day for the rest of the week which is just to familiarise the children with the format. Please do encourage your child to continue to practise them prior to the official check next Monday.

Red class

Hi Red class,

You have been working hard all half term and deserve a really good break. Year 4, you could try to keep recalling your tables facts especially focusing on x7, x8,, x9 and x12 when you can!

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!

Well done Year 4, we are very proud of you and all you’ve achieved this week! You all did well to be in school today. Have a great weekend.

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.

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!

Home Learning for 10.03.23

Good morning Red class,

Well, it is another snowy day and I hope you are able to enjoy getting out in it. If you get a chance/ wish to do some school work, there are some ideas here.

flashback-friday - Norfolk Public Library

It is our ‘Flashback Friday’ where we know more and remember more, so you could get someone to test you the spellings from last week. I have put the new ones on the spelling page with a couple of video clips to look at. This week’s words start with the prefixes super- and auto-. Have a go at finding out what the words mean and putting them into a sentence.

Tables – please continue to revise these. We are really impressed with the way you are learning these. Use Times Tables Rock Stars or the other programmes which work for you.

Year 3: x3, x4, x8

Year 4: x3, x4, x6, x8.
