Easter Service
Thank you to all of the parents and carers who joined to support our Easter service today. It was lovely to see so many of you on zoom.
For those who were unable to join, here is a recording of our service.
Well done to all those children who took part and for all the wonderful singing that was heard around school.
Extending our vocabulary
We have had great fun making up actions to help us remember and apply the week’s vocabulary. Here are a few pictures of us acting out various words. Ask your child to show you their actions as they are so much better than photos!

Super homework from Year 3,4
This week, our homework task was to create a picture to teach us about forgiveness based upon our book “The Boy, the mole, the fox, and the Horse” by Charlie Mackesy.
We had some fantastic creative homework in that will help us remember our Christian value of forgiveness. Here are a few:
Living and Learning: I know how to seek help.
In connection to this week’s Living and Learning statement, we have taken part in an NSPCC assembly and discussing who we can talk to if/when we are worried or anxious. This is especially important in the COVID year that we are living through. For more information, ask your child and I’m sure they’ll share all about it!
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 for Comic Relief.
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)
Our first week back at school has seen a very close race for the title!
All week, the lead has changed hands but, in the end, there can only be one winner!
The TTRS tournament winner this week is… (DRUM ROLL)…
It’s Year 5! That’s the second win in a row! Year 3,4 were a very close second.
Will Year 5 get a third win in a row? Will Year 3,4 go one further to take the victory? Or perhaps, Year 6 will come in and steal the show?
All the best, TTRS.
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 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 110, the winning year group is year 5 by a clear mile – WOW!
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.
You could be in next week’s winning team.
All the best, TTRS!
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 6 who achieved a WHOPPING 286 results.
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!
Two truths and a lie…
We’ve been having great fun during our daily afternoon zooms playing different games and quizzes.
One of the games we play is ‘two truths and a lie’. In this game, one person will say three statements. Two are true statements and one is a lie.
Here are Mrs Welsby’s statements.
And, here are Mrs Rowley’s statements.
Can you figure out which are the lies? We’d love for you to join in with our game. Email your two truths and a lie to Stjamesy3y4@spherefederation.org and we can add it to our daily afternoon zoom!
P.S
Here are the answers to Mrs Welsby’s and Mrs Rowley’s statements.
How are you doing?
Its been 5 weeks of home learning and with just one left until half term!
How are you finding it?
Are you managing to get out and do some exercise? Have you read any good books? Jack has done both of these recently!
Mrs Welsby and I have got a challenge for you!
When we go back to school, we will be doing ‘Wake Up, Shake Up’ again so we’d like to challenge you to learn this dance that has gone viral around the world (you’re watching the Irish Garda but lots of other people have participated around the world!). Here is a video tutorial to help you – Mrs Welsby and I will be learning it too!
