We Rocked Our Numbots & Times Tables Rock Stars Launch! We launched Numbots and Times Tables Rock Stars yesterday in true rock 'n' roll style! From fabulous rockstar fancy dress to hands-on time exploring the new learning platforms, the children had an amazing day. It was fantastic to see how much they enjoyed the maths games and Miss Bane was especially thrilled to see how many children logged on again at home last night! Remember, it doesn't need to take long: just 3 minutes a day can boost your child's fluency and make a real difference to their learning.

Sharks Go Pop! At the end of last term, the Sharks worked collaboratively to transform their observational drawings of modern-day technology into vibrant pop art prints inspired by the legendary Andy Warhol! Using a method similar to lino-printing, the children printed their images several times onto brightly coloured paper. Once dry, they experimented with different layouts before creating their final Warhol-style repeated compositions. We can't wait to share their amazing artwork stay tuned for a date to "pop in" and see their Pop Art creations!

The Seals Step Back to 1666! Before half term, the Seals visited Strangers' Hall to bring their learning about the Great Fire of London to life! The children travelled back to 1666, helping Tudor homeowners make sure their houses were safe from the same fate as London. They explored the rooms, discovering that fire was the only source of heat, light, and cooking and how homes made of wood and thatch were easy targets for flames. They also investigated the techniques used to fight the Great Fire, how effective they were, and how decisions after 1666 shaped the rebuilding of London. Luckily, with their knowledge and teamwork, the Seals made sure Strangers' Hall stayed safe from any danger!
