Poetry in Y4
Y4 have thoroughly enjoyed writing poems this week. The children had to include metaphors and similes in their poems and created some brilliant work.
TTRockstars Day
What another brilliant TTRockstars day we have had! There were so many amazing Rockstar outfits. Thank you grown ups for your help with these!
Throughout the day the children participated in times tables battles. They battled the other class in their year group and earnt points for each correct multiplication sum they completed on TTRockstars during the allotted time. Here are the results!
As well as the TTRockstars battles, each year group completed a maths activity/ investigation linked to multiplication. Some year groups also read a maths story and then had a go at writing their own maths-based stories! The children were engrossed in their learning.
Thank you to the children for their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn during TTRockstars Day. You’re all maths superstars!

Art Focus Day – Y5
Earlier this half term Year 5 enjoyed a fabulous art focus day where we created space inspired paintings. We looked at numerous different artists work before practising a range of different brush strokes, mixing colours and using tone to create depth. Check out some of our awesome planet paintings!
TTRock in Y6!
To celebrate Times Table Rockstars Day, Year 6 have had a wonderful time tackling some extremely tricky times table problems! They used lots of trial and error skills to work out the answers and had to persevere through them. #ttrockstarsday
Year 5 times tables problems!
Year 5 enjoyed working on this times table problem. They read the question carefully and discussed what they were being asked to do. They then used their knowledge of times tables to help them work out their answer. They were challenged to work systematically and explain their method to the rest of the class.
