First aid training 🚑🚔🚒
Today we learnt how to keep our selves safe in school, at home and when in a supermarket. We also practised putting on bandages.
Reading in the library!
This morning we enjoyed a book in the library, it felt nice and chilled and we loved reading ”look up” especially because it was about space!
Reading out of school 🌞📚
In the week Millie and Harlie took some pictures of them enjoying a good book in the sunshine after school. It is lovely to see the girls having a love for reading!

Entry ticket into reading 🎟️
For our reading entry ticket, we had to imagine we were the main character of our book. We had to think of what we had read in the previous 4 chapters and generate two truth and a lie about his experience so far. We then shared with someone in the room to find our lie. This activity really showed how great our comprehension skills are!
Adapting song/music
Yesterday, we continued with unpicking poetry (a song) and worked as mini crews to rewrite it and adapt the verses. We want to be able to generate as many ideas as possible so that when we write our own poetry for the final product, we have lots of background knowledge to pull from. Some great collaboration and communication demonstrated within mini crews.
Cirque du Soleil – Kaitlynn
On Thursday morning, we continued with a crew member showing some of their talents.
It was the turn of Kaitlynn who is an avid dancer. She often takes parts on comps and shares her successes the us.
After Kaitlynn showcased her talent, the question of the day was: Does Kaitlynn even have a spine? What do you think?
World Oceans Day! 🌊🌎🐠🦈
Today, in LKS2 as part of Crew, we celebrated World Oceans Day! We began by watching the clip below to learn all about what it is, why it is so important that we protect our oceans and how we can help.
We then shared what we had learnt from the clip and created a class ‘chotting’ sheet. We then used this to create our own ‘World Oceans Day!’ posters to inform others around school how we can protect the Worlds oceans. As you can see, we had lots of great suggestions such as, buy less plastic, put your litter in the bin, recycle, and use reusable bottles, straws and cup cases! We hope that people will consider our oceans more as a result!
MTC Testing! 🥇🏆
This week, lots of our Year 4 pupils have been working really hard on recalling the answers to a variety of multiplication calculations as part of the National Multiplication Timestable Check. The children have worked incredibly hard and have made all of the staff in LKS2 super proud this week! Any children who have not yet completed the test will do so with Mrs Elmer next week on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Any children who are absent will complete theirs the week after. Results will be released to school and shared with pupils, carers and parents on Monday 26th June.
If your child has not completed the test yet then they may want to use some of the links below over the weekend to fully prepare them for next week!
