We love getting together on a Friday to discuss our books. We have a range of jobs to do which we all bring in to share with our group. Book Club helps to develop our reading, writing, talking and listening skills. We choose ‘Top Banana’ each week and reward them by displaying their work in the class and issuing them with extra Dojo points.
Top Banana = The person we feel excelled in their task and put the most effort in to producing a piece of work to be proud of.
The task sheets we use can all be found in the P567 homework section of this blog.
Sally from the SSPCA visited us today and we learned more about what the SSPCA do to protect and care for wild and domestic animals. We really enjoyed the board game that Sally brought for us to play.

Today P5-7 worked in teams to plan and organise a pretend end of term Christmas Party for 100 children and invited guests. It was to be an evening party with food, drinks, décor and entertainment.
This was a super opportunity to put our mathematical skills to the test. We made use of fractions and percentages to work out VAT at 20%, information handling to interpret and organise survey results, measurement to calculate decorations required and calculations using time to plan for setting up and DJ time slots.
I was very impressed with the cooperation and problem solving skills displayed during this task …. and would not hesitate to book any of our young party planners for my next party!
Due to staff absence and sickness, I have had to make the difficult decision to postpone our Christmas Nativity Performance.
I appreciate all the hard work the children and staff have put in to the performance and am committed to showcasing this achievement before the Christmas holidays.
It is my intention to re-arrange the nativity for the morning and evening of Tuesday 20th December. Times and ticket arrangements will remain the same, however if you have any difficulties with this please contact the school and we will try to accommodate you.
As always your help and understanding is appreciated and as they say … “the show must go on!”
A big hello from the big class. We are very pleased to welcome you to our lovely new school website. We have all been working hard on our school show but are still finding time to develop our literacy skills and put pen to paper. As you can see we have our lovely log fire roaring in the background and the obligatory Christmas tunes are playing while we work. Enjoy the website and following our learning journeys.
I hope this section will help the pupils with homework activities. I will add things as they become relevant. If there is anything you would like to see in the homework section let me know.
Here are some examples of what pupils produce for their homework tasks. The homework issued aims to encourage pupils to take ownership of their learning and value the opportunities they are given to do so. Spelling, reading and maths tasks are given and suggested by the teacher. It is up to the pupils engage with the tasks and produce work that reflects elements of personalisation and choice.
Here is an example of how one pupil uses their homework diary to note important information and be organised for school.
Here are some homework resources that will help support learning and complete tasks.
