Year 4 Times Tables

In Year 4, we are all working really hard to learn all of the times tables up to 12 x 12. Today, the children have received their latest heat map from Times Tables Rockstars. Eight of the children in Miss McCullagh’s class have managed to turn their whole heat map green! We are so proud of the hard work they have been putting in to learning their multiplication facts!

Who will be next to ‘Go Green’?

Therapy Dog Visit

Next week, Year 1 are extremely lucky to have Puppy and Friends Academy coming into school to teach them how to care for a dog. The visit will take place on Wednesday 28th February in the morning and will be in our classroom. They will be bringing an accredited therapy dog with them (a super friendly, calm golden retriever).

The children will not need to bring anything different with them, and will still come to school in their uniform.

Please can you let us know through your child’s reading diary if your child is scared of dogs or has any sensitivities to their fur.

Thanks, Year 1 Team

Miss Buckingham’s Class have had an exciting end to the term!

Wow, another half term has passed and we have been so busy!

WE ARE THE BeSMART CUP WINNERS! Watch this space for information about our treat!

This week, we have made snail sculptures with clay and have painted them too – they look amazing and we can’t wait to bring them home to show you :)

We have had a Great Fire of London workshop where we did some brilliant acting and wowed our visitors with our knowledge.

We even wrote diary entries as Samuel Pepys – did you know he buried his cheese and wine?!?

We developed our BeeBot skills and confidently programmed them to move around an Enchanted Forest!

We finished our half term with some valentines day and pancake day crafts, as well as made some delicious bread which we were very proud of.

Have a wonderful holiday with plenty of rest, ready for another busy term!

Love from Miss Buckingham and Mrs Goodwin

Finance & Personnel Governors Committee

Governors scrutinised the ‘work life balance audit’ and were pleased with the very positive level of responses. Governors took great pleasure in knowing that having such a positive, dedicated staffing team, ensures the children’s needs are being met. Governors understood the pressures around the school and nursery budgets and contributed to the discussions for future spending. Governors listened to a presentation by the Assistant SENDco and was reassured that detailed planning, communication, and next steps continue to be carefully considered.
