Year 1 not only created their own time tables of their day using o’clock and half past but also read poetry and wrote their own poem giving an inspirational message to themselves . Year 2 wrote poems to their former 3 year old selves to give them advice: Don’t worry about your first day at school; try really hard to achieve any talent you are good at; Don’t be worried to turn around, there isn’t a monster behind you!

Year 3 have used their creativity to make cave-painting on stones as well as writing poems in a bottle to Stig’s family following the NP day theme. In Year 4, Neil Armstrong has been the explorer explored this week and the girls have planned a diary entry writing as him, thinking about how he would have felt as he set off and arrived on the moon. For National Poetry Day, they performed a live recital of “Oh the places you’ll go”.

Year 5 have not only been working with negative numbers in maths but have also written stories with ‘a message in a bottle’ as their theme. They were so excited by this, that they came out of the classroom chattering enthusiastically about what each of them had chosen to write about. I reminded them of Julia Immonen’s encounter of the a message in a bottle that she allowed to drift away whilst rowing the atlantic!

Year 6 have been debating deforestation and discussing if this affects us. Did you know that rainforests cover 30% of the land and in 100 years it is estimated that there will be no rainforests left?

Well done to…

A spotlight on…

Times Tables. The girls from Year 2 to Year 6 have enjoyed showing off their ability to learn their times tables. We have had many girls achieving their bronze stickers in Year 2 and above. They are awarded bronze stickers for being able to recall their times tables to 12 in order. Once they have collected all 12 bronze stickers, they are able to claim their bronze badge in assembly. To achieve their silver stickers and badges times tables must be recalled in a random order and reasonably quickly. Gold stickers and badges are achieved when girls can apply their times tables to a range of different questions and problems. We have been very pleased with the number of stickers and badges being claimed so far and we have seen an increase in the girls’ enthusiasm for learning their tables.

Merit Certificates: Lara Lopez-Guisado (Reception), Lona Lika (Year 1), Ava Constable (Year 2), Chloe Massoubre (Year 3), Mia Cranfield (Year 4) Lola Constable (Year 5) and Libby Ban & Matilda Greenwood (Year 6).

Bunny Award: Aylin Paul, (Year 2), always being kind to others, and Laetitia Parr (Year 6) for always being a fantastic role model and for her homework piece - a wonderful rainforest layer shoe-box.
