 A very big well done to all of you who have been rocking up with Times Table Rockstars this week.  Each and every one of you will be receiving a Resilient Tortoise award for keeping practicing those times table skills.

This week we would like to praise the following children in each class for either achieving the most number of coins in the past week or the most time per day spent rocking (or both):

Year 2 Rock Solid Rockers are:  Marissa and Vasilis

Year 3's Rock Legend is: Alfie D

Well done everyone!

And remember TTRS is not essential, it is an added, extra fun way of building your times table recall.

Keep Rocking!

TTRS and Mathletics Clarification - 25th January 2021

 

Mathletics / TTRS clarification 

In response to feedback we would like to clarify that participation in TTRS (years 2-4) and Mathletics (years 1-4) learning platforms are an optional way of gaining extra practice in those key maths skills.  They have never been mandatory and we would urge you to use them as you see fit to support your learning at home.  There is no pressure to take part. 

We know that you are doing a wonderful job at home and by sharing success here we wanted to celebrate your child's achievements in using these resources.  We will continue to celebrate some of these each week through our blogs, but the majority of praise for your child's effort will come through marvellous me. 

Thank you all for your continued effort in supporting your children learning at home.

Year 3 - Super Learning, School Books and Smiling - 21st January 2021

Hello Everyone!

It has been wonderful to see all of your wonderful learning at home.  Well done all of you for being resilient learners.  It is undoubtedly tough to get motivated sometimes, but you have shown us that you keep on going!  Well done!

We love to see your learning via email, if you haven't sent any pictures so far please do so.  You will find our email addresses on the school website.

We have sent another resource pack home today and hopefully you have Mr Spracklen and Mr Barbour's Egg challenge.  You will also find a chalk in your pack which will help you with the shadow drawing next week in our Science Lessons (if we see any sunshine).  If not you might need to be inventive indoors with torches (sounds like fun)!

Well done to those of you that have to learn at home sometimes and sometimes at school because your parents are key workers.  Those of you that do come into school for lessons, or have to learn in other places too will need to make sure you bring your books with you.  The best way to organise this is to keep all of your books in one place, like in your school bag, and bring them every time that you come to school.  It can all be a bit topsy turvy and unsettling at the moment, learning in different places, but you can make it a little easier by having all the things you need for your learning with you when you come to work at school.

Finally a really important message.  You learn best when you are happy, so make sure you are getting lots of sleep, trying your hardest (nobody can expect any more) and doing something every day that you enjoy (it doesn't have to be for a long time).  Keep smiling everyone!

Take Care,

The Year 3 Team
