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.
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.
First week back!
What a great first week back it’s been! Everybody has enjoyed being back with their friends and all have been engaged in learning. It was fab to get outdoors and practise our tennis skills:
We’ve been choosing new books from the library with a bit of a difference! Lots of children decided to choose books which were wrapped up with just the first line of the book on show.
In Living and Learning, we read some quotes from the book ‘The boy, the mole, the fox’ by Charlie Mackesy. We reflected on our time during lockdown #3 and focused on the quote from the book, ‘After the storm….’ to look forward to things to come. Here are some of our hopes in a drawing similar to the drawings in the book:
Period product scheme
- have forgotten their products
- cannot afford products
- have started or come on their period unexpectedly
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!

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!

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.

All the best, TTRS!
Happy half term!
Well done for getting through the half term- we think you’ve all been amazing! It has been great to see lots of you on Zoom every day sharing your favourite learning or discussing a challenging question or even just chatting about what you’ve baked that day. You’ve all been resilient, resourceful and taken responsibility for your learning at home. You should be very proud of yourselves! Here are some highlights of the half term both in school and at home……..
It’s challenge time!
It’s been 5 weeks of home learning and with just one left until half term!
How are you finding it?
We 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 – the teachers at school will be learning it too!
