TTRS Tournament winners (wb 01 March)
Hello again to all of the Times Tables Rock Stars out there,
Firstly, welcome back to school. We’ve missed rocking out with you.
Hopefully last week’s was our final tournament from home. Everyone has been working so hard and… What’s that?
BREAKING NEWS:
The results are in. We have our ROCK STARS OF THE WEEK.
Recording an average score of 993 , the winning class is Y3. That’s a third successive win – WOW!
Surely they can’t make it four wins in a row with another victory this week. Can they?
Now that we’re back in school, there’ll be opportunities to play in class as well as at home. Give your teacher a nudge as the week goes on if you’ve not yet had a chance to play. If you’d like to play at home and would like a reminder of your login details, let your teacher know.
All the best TTRS!
Home Learning Heroes
Thank you SO much for all the hard work that you’re doing at home and for sending it in.
Here are some highlights of this week’s home learning heroes.
We’ve been scientists learning about the circulatory system…
… historians evaluating and creating propaganda posters…
… super spellers using a variety of different rules and strategies…
… editors looking out for must do errors with a keen eye…
… and mathematicians solving equations and using algebra.
I’m very much looking forward to seeing you all on Monday – it’s been far too long!
Thank you, again, for all your hard work and engagement.
Take care and see you soon!

Times Tables Rock Stars: tournament time
Calling all Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS),
It’s great to see that so many of you have been rocking those times tables as part of your home learning.
ALL classes are putting on great performances so now we’re raising the stakes.
Each week, you will be competing in a tournament with the other KS2 classes. The scores of you and your classmates will be added together to decide who will achieve the honour of being… ROCKSTARS OF THE WEEK!
In fact, we set up a warm-up tournament last week and the results are in…
Congratulations to Year 3 who achieved a WHOPPING 734 correct answers.
Who will reach top spot in the charts next week?
Rules for the gig are simple:
- Log on to TTRS.
- Play on any game mode. We recommend Garage and Soundcheck.
- Check the class news page on Mondays to see if your class is the weekly winner. If you practise at the weekend, your scores will still be counted.
All the best, TTRS!
Home Learning Heroes
Thanks for sending in the amazing home learning you’ve been doing.
Here are some highlights!
It’s great to draw and be mindful like Noah…
Take a look at this incredible report written by Daisy…
and Albie!
I was thrilled to receive this email about Safiya-Mishal’s arithmetic score! I was so proud of her, too.
And, finally, check out this brilliant poster about renewable and non-renewable energy by Phoebe. I love how clear and interesting it is plus I love the choices she made like green text vs red for positive vs negative.
We’re nearly at the end of home learning – we can do it!
As always, send me an email if you need any help or if you’d like to celebrate your learning.
Keep it up, Y6.
Home Learning Heroes
Over the second week of our new style of home learning, it was brilliant to receive some pictures of what you guys have been up to!
Take a look at some of the fantastic learning…
There’s been some excellently presented maths!
There’s been some fantastic writing including planning!
There’s been some excellent science learning! Can you guess what is being shown using coins?
There’s been some amazing art! It’s great to see people looking after themselves, whether that’s using art to be mindful…
…or getting outside and looking after yourself physically, too!
As always, thanks so much for working so hard and for being so adaptable. You guys rock!
Important: changes to home learning
Hi everyone!
Here’s a short video explaining some changes to the home learning for this half term. Mr Roundtree will be communicating further details soon.

Best wishes and see you soon!

Merry Christmas!
We had a fantastic final day celebrating all our hard work this term!
Even Santa himself turned up!
I’d like to thank every single person in Y6 for their amazing attitudes in what’s been, at times, a tricky time.
Well done and enjoy the break!
Living and learning: RSE
Over the last three weeks, we’ve been learning about RSE – relationships and sex education.
We’ve learnt about such a wide range of topics, from what happens during puberty to how to maintain healthy relationships with friends, family and others!
We’ve learnt that our emotions might change a lot but that nothing is permanent and we know how to help ourselves. Reading about inspirational people who have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and hearing stories from members of our class really made us feel better. We’re all in this together!
We’ve covered a lot of science over the last three weeks and feel much more knowledgeable! Teamwork has also been a huge factor in what we’ve been doing, as has listening carefully and contributing thoughtfully.
“At first, I thought it’d be nerve-wracking but now I think it’s been so helpful because I know what might happen in future,” said Hifza.
“It’s been very helpful even if it was a bit strange at times!” laughed Joude.
Noah said, “It’s been very interesting learning about RSE. It’s really just learning how humans have survived and reproduced as a species.”
Merry Christmas from Y6
We’re rounding off this term after oodles of hard work and some truly fantastic learning with a mini medley of Christmas songs – the class even had a go at writing one themselves!
Have a very Merry Christmas from Y6 and enjoy the video!
