Distance won’t stop us!
What a fantastic start to our distanced (but brief) home learning!
Thank you to everyone who got stuck in, contributed lots and made me smile with your enthusiasm.
Check out some of our highlights below…
I loved Yusayrah’s creative poem where she’d highlighted her spellings!
Have a look at Pollyanna’s dramatic writing about losing a pet just as she was about to take cover in an air raid shelter!
I’m loving the presentation here! You can clearly see how the number lines show what’s going on in her head for those mental subtractions.
Alishbah sent in her learning and said she had fun today which is always fantastic to hear.
Keep up the hard work, team!
Let’s rock for Red Nose Day!
Hello to all of you Times Tables Rock Stars,
This Friday is Red Nose Day and the people at TTRS have come up with a great challenge to raise some extra money.
Prices for a new nose start at 50,000 coins so we’d best get saving.
We’ve got until Friday – Red Nose Day. Let’s do our bit to help the nation reach that £5,000 target.
TTRS Tournament winners (wb 08 March)
Hello again to all of the Times Tables Rock Stars out there,
How are we all settling back into school? I hope you are all enjoying yourselves as much as all the teachers are!
BREAKING NEWS:
The results are in. We have our ROCK STARS OF THE WEEK.
Recording an average score of 1490, the winners this week are Y3!
That’s now four times in a row – AMAZING!
Which class will knock Y3 off top spot this week or will they claim their fifth successive victory?
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!

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!
