Peer Maths Coaching

Year 6 have been learning a range of formal written methods in maths including column addition and subtraction, long multiplication and bus stop division. Throughout this challenging sequence of work, the children have shown resilience and determination and have supported one another which has been great to see. Yesterday, they worked in coaching pairs solving multiplication and division word problems. They were supporting and encouraging of each other and Miss Corkan and I were extremely proud of them!

3LG have an expert visitor

Today 3LG have been extremely excited to welcome an expert visitor into school. We talked all about the Second World War and the children asked lots incredible questions.

As part of our work towards creating our final product we have been thinking about why it is important to share stories from World War Two. We cannot wait to start writing about all the information we have learned today!

Spooky Halloween

What a frightening start to the half term we had with this lot of scary folk. 3HJ had a wonderful day completing a whole host of spooky activities from writing to creating their own death masks. Enjoy trick or treating! 🎃👻💀

Mathematicians in the making!

This week 6EG have been grappling with long multiplication – not an easy task! However they all showed perseverance and resilience to overcome any difficulties. They worked well to support each other and identify any difficulties. Well done Y6!

A spooky spellbinding start back!

Just check out this lot looking amazing in their halloween costumes on their first day back of term. We had a super time immersing ourselves in some ghostly activities and a it was just a super effort all round!

Welcome back everyone!

Halloween Day Horrors! 🎃👻

On our dedicated day of Halloween fun, year six did not disappoint with their fancy dress efforts. Hats (or masks) off to them and their parents/ carers for the frighteningly creative and gory costumes!

After tasting a few homemade treats baked by our fabulous crew bakers, 6CC were given the task of designing their own spooky halloween costumes using only a selection of household materials: bin bags, tin foil, sellotape to name but a few. The results ranged from goofy to rather spectacular. Safe to say, most designers were quite pleased with their creations (I would not be surprised if ASDA and Tesco came knocking on the doors in need of creative genius!).

Next, the children explored the work of Wassily Kandinsky, a famous abstract artist, and used his style to create their very own expressionist Halloween artwork. Cracking job, guys! 🎃👍🏼

Happy Halloween!

Y3 have had a spooky start back to school today. Everybody dazzled in their amazing halloween costumes. We had everything from pumpkins to witches and skeletons to werewolves.
After sharing our exciting half term stories in crew, we spent the day completing a number of halloween themed tasks such as making our own halloween characters, designing pumpkins and using our maths knowledge to solve a mystery.
