Living and learning : health and prevention (hand washing)
We have linked our Living and Learning lessons to our computing topic – particularly algorithms.
We talked about how washing your hands is an algorithm. You have to do each step in the right order for it to work. We all know how important washing our hands is!
Maths – fluency and facts
We are working really hard to increase our fluency and recall of maths facts. This week, we have been focusing on bonds of 10 and we are getting really good! It was our homework task, a daily morning job and we have shown 10 using multiple representations (part whole models, bar models, pictures and calculations). The Year 2s have also been working on bonds of 20.
Help at home by asking your child if they can tell you bonds of 10 or 20.
New School Charity
Following our manic day on Friday completing the Captain Tom 100 challenge, the Junior Leadership Team have selected our new school charity. All the classes selected a charity of their choice and the JLT members brought the ideas to the meeting. The children all voted and our new charity is….
The National Autistic Society.
If you would like to know more about the charity, please follow this link.
Thank you to everyone that donated to school for the 100 challenge. We had some incredibly generous donations. We managed to raise £185.09 and this will be donated straight away to the charity. Well done and thank you everyone for your hard work!
1KN Captain Tom Moore 100 Challenge
We’ve been raising money to support our new school charity, National Autistic Society.
For 1KN’s Captain Tom 100 Challenge, we were challenging ourselves to complete 100 minutes of skipping throughout the day. Every child contributed to help us reach our target and all the children demonstrated superb resilience.
A massive thank you to everyone that donated money.
Captain Tom 100 Challenge
On Friday 30th April all the children in school will be completing a challenge to raise money for our school charity. Each class voted for the challenge they wanted to complete. We are hoping that parents will donate £1.00 in order to support us in this challenge
1/2V are going to run 100 laps of the KS1 playground
1KN are going to complete 100 minutes of skipping throughout the day
2C are going to do a 100m obstacle course race
Thank you for your support.
Captain Tom 100 Challenge
Welcome back after the Easter break.
The brand new Junior Leadership Team are going to be very busy this half term and they’re ready for action! In the next few weeks, classes will be coming up with ideas for who our next school charity will be. The JLT will then make the final decision. Before we even do this though, we’re going to get cracking on some fundraising. Friday 30th April sees a campaign organised by the Captain Tom Foundation. This date marks a year from when Sir Captain Tom began the 100 laps around his garden. To mark this occasion, people are being encouraged to complete a challenge based on the number 100. We are definitely up for this challenge! Each class will be discussing and choosing their challenge. This could be based on a maths challenge, running 100 metres or even writing a 100-word poem. We will be asking for voluntary donations to support the children in their challenges. This money will be ready to be donated to our new charity as soon as it’s selected. Each class will be posting on the website their chosen challenge.
Thank you in advance of your support and good luck with all the challenges.
1KN Egg Rolling
Thank you for sending decorated, boiled eggs in to school. 1KN enjoyed sending their eggs down the ramp to see whose egg could roll the furthest. Well done to our three winners: Stanley, Indie and Jack.

I am pleased to announce that we have a new Junior Leadership Team. A massive thank you to everyone who wrote a speech, had the confidence to speak in front of their classmates and thought of creative ways to improve our school.

History topic finale – dress as a real life hero
We had a fabulous day dressing as real life heroes. Our history topic this half term has focused on ‘Historic Heroes’ – Nelson Mandela and Leonora Cohen – and how their actions changed things. Can your child tell you what they did?
I came as a nurse because they help to make people better.
I came as a Covid vaccine developer because they have helped to keep us safe.
I came as a firefighter because they help to keep us safe.
I came as a soldier because they protect us.
Egg-cellent egg rolling competition
We had a great time rolling our eggs today. The winners were Ben, Freddie and Kai! Well done to their egg-cellent speedy eggs.
