‘Learn Its’ are addition facts and times tables facts. There are 72 Learns Its in total; 36 addition Learn Its and 36 multiplication Learn Its. These are facts that children need to learn off by heart, so when they are asked ‘What is 6+4 ?’ they are able to give the answer as quickly as they would be able to tell you their name. As soon as they know 3×5=15 they also know 5×3=15 (This is known as a ‘Switcher’).

P7M – Figurative Language Carousels
This morning, you are going to work in groups to research different types of figurative language which can be used to make your writing more interesting.
We will be looking at similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia, personification, idioms and hyperboles. You will have a short time at each station to research and create different examples of the given figurative language. You must first check your group has an understanding and then read the examples provided. You should then use the weblinks to research other examples and use these to create your own to record on the sheet. Please read the previous group’s work to check you are not repeating their ideas.

Unfortunately we were unable to visit the library this morning as we only had one adult helper. We hope to visit the library on Tuesday 7th March, 11.15-12pm and are looking for another two adult helpers to accompany us.
These visits to the library should encourage enjoyment of reading and allow the pupils to choose their own books from a wider selection. They also help to keep the library alive!
Please write a note in your child’s Homework Diary or post a comment on the Blog if you are able to help. Thank you in advance and thank you to our core volunteers.
P7M – P.E. Kits
Please remember that P.E. is part of the curriculum and you must come to school prepared for the two one hour sessions.
- You must remove all jewellery or cellotape over newly pierced ears and cover any Smart watch or ‘fitbit’ with a sweatband.
- You must bring a change of:
- trainers (for indoor use)
- t-shirt
- shorts/tracksuit bottoms/leggings
- hoodie (if going outside or you think you’ll be cold)
- Your P.E. kit should be kept in a bag and either hung on your peg or put on the lunch trolley in the cloakroom (not kept in your school bag). This will avoid any delays when getting changed.
- Monday P.E. 11.15-12.15:
- Boys take their kits from the cloakroom after interval and get changed in the Boy’s Toilets. Once changed, put your bag of clothes in the Gathering Room.
- Girls take their kit from the cloakroom and get changed in the classroom. Leave all clothes in the classroom.
- Any bottles of water should be stored on the stage.
- Once changed, please meet in the Gym Hall – sit on the bench.
- Please move quietly in a single-file line through the corridors, to avoid distracting your peers.
If you forget a change of trainers, t-shirt or bottoms you will be marked as ‘No P.E. kit’ and not allowed to take part.
Thank you,

The completion date for your Personal Project is Tuesday 14th March . This means you have 5 weeks to work on your project which is quite a long time. Please ensure you use this time wisely and do not leave everything to the final week! We will be checking on your progress on a regular basis. If you need a paper copy of the task sheet, just ask!
