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!

Today (7th February 2024) we all went to the Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre and learnt more about how the be Arts Ambassadors.
We are……… Arlo (5MO), Tav and Harriet (5MA), Enzo and Lucia (4HW), Gabriel and Iris (4H). Lucia’s mum, Sonia, kindly came with us.
We played a few games that taught us more about each other and that made us communicate with others in better and different ways. The Birmingham Hippodrome put up a good effort of making the school children get involved and cooperate with each other.
We then all designed our own Blue Sky Thinking dream arts project that had a unlimited budget. Ours (Mine, Enzo, Iris and Lucia’s) involved flying everyone from all the schools there to Tokyo in private jets. There we put on an Everything for Everyone Festival which happens in our private skyscraper with a concert stadium (where Taylor Swift and a K-pop and a J-pop band would perform), an animation floor, a comedy floor, a gaming floor with game designers, a fashion designing floor where the festival merchandise is designed with famous fashion designers), an art make and exhibition floor. It also has luxury apartments for us all to stay in. (an after thought we had was to also have a food floor where we could design and et our own sushi creations!)
We then went into the auditorium of the Hippodrome Theatre and we even got to go into the Royal box and we waved like the king!
This year’s theme was “Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online” which allowed for open and honest conversations to be had about how children experience the online world. Children across the school took part in various different activities designed to spark discussion about positive and negative experiences online. Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 watched a live lesson from the BBC which looked at Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the benefits and risks associated with these. In Early Years and KS1 the focus was about how technology has changed throughout history!
After school, parents and children attended an E-Safety workshop designed to explore the theme of ‘Influence Online’. We talked about how some influence can be positive and some can be negative. Families were able to make a trailer for some ‘Safety Superheroes’ who were going online to influence people for good! We had ‘Superheroes’ who were going to encourage people to donate to charity, pick up litter and even how to keep safe online.
If you would like more information about E-Safety, here are some links:
