Today I spotted Alissia’s beautiful home learning. She has clearly taken alot of time, to ensure that the work in which she produced was of high quality. At XP Trust, we call this Craftsmanship and Quality. Alissia is a fabulous role model to all. We are so proud of the girl you are Alissia.
Today 5 pupils from both year 3 and year 4 headed out for the afternoon to compete in a football tournament. They were one of 10 teams, unfortunately we didn’t place in the top 3 but I was so impressed with the children’s efforts, resilience and sportsmanship. Out of the 10 teams, which was over 100 children in total, one of our year 4 pupils was given a medal for his stand out sportsmanship. We were all so proud of him, what a great achievement! Here’s a few photos to showcase our fantastic afternoon!
In computing today, children were able to build on their learning from last week by building the code for a timetable game independently. This allowed them to apply their skills from this unit of computing and demonstrate their understanding for coding.
Miss Trunchbull! Our Year 4 pupils have been putting their creative skills to the test! We have created ‘Wanted Posters’ for the infamous Miss Trunchbull! With their vivid imaginations and artistic flair, they captured her larger-than-life personality (and not in a good way!).
Year 4 has continued their knowledge of variables today by starting to make a timetables quiz. Our session today was a guided session as it required lots of thinking power. We worked side by side to build the code, however, next week children will get an opportunity to work independently on building the code.
Today in Crew Colclough we learned that Romans believed in more than one God/ Goddess and we started to explore 8 of them in today’s lesson. We had to move around the room and copy the name and role of the God/Goddess onto our sheet. Mrs Atherton then challenged us by asking us to memorise 3 of them and their roles and then copy these into our books using Capital Letters for Nouns and beautiful handwriting. We worked incredibly hard today to remember this information.
In computing this weel, year 4 were continuing with variables but this week they were making variables and adding to the code we used last week. Once they got the hang of it, children started to expand their maths games by adding additional questions to the code. Children really had to grapple with this and be resilient to ensure that they were successful.
Huge well done to Crew Colclough who won the LKS2 attendance award of juice and biscuits. They had a crew average of 98.85% which is above the attendance target of 95%.
We headed outside to tidy up the Year 1 area, making it a clean and pleasant space for the younger students. They worked diligently, picking up loose leaves and stray litter, and organising the outdoor toys and equipment. By taking on the task of tidying the space, the children demonstrated responsibility and a shared commitment to keeping their school environment tidy.
This week, our Year 4 pupils have been exploring the fascinating differences between their lives today and those in Roman times! They learned that while Romans traveled by horse and chariot and enjoyed simple meals like bread and olives, we now zip around in cars and indulge in a world of diverse cuisines. Entertainment has also evolved—from thrilling gladiator games to streaming movies and video games! Plus, communication has transformed dramatically; instead of sending messages via messengers, we now connect instantly through texts and social media. It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come and what we might miss most if we lived in the past!
