A fantastic amount of awards for Year 4 today. They've achieved their Summer Reading Challenge awards, Good to be Green pencils, Head teacher awards and Mathletics awards too. Well done Year 4. 

Today in science, the children used torches to test if the objects on their table were reflective or not, and to decide what were the most and least reflective. 

Well done to these children for achieving a certificate from Mathletics 

Year 1 designed their own superhero masks using lots of different patterns and colours. 

This week, we have started our Mastering Number sessions. The children will be introduced to the rekenrek. This is one of the key representations used in the programme; the children will use it regularly to develop their understanding of numbers within 20 and the relationships between them. Like the other representations used, the rekenreks will also develop the children’s fluency.

Thank you to the Eco Leaders and their helpers for hanging the new bird feeders in our school grounds. We can't wait to see which feathery friends come for a tasty treat! 

In todays hockey lesson, the class tried a new dribble called the Indian dribble. They also practiced passing the ball to their partner from a distance. We did really well!
