I arrived to find the staff had been replaced by some renegade midge fighters!

Year 2 writers
Year 2 boys were eager to share their independent writing with me. The sight of 8 focussed Year 2 pupils, who have all worked so hard to improve their writing this year, was truly wonderful.
Thanks!
Year 6 Maths Team
I have set the very able Year 6 Mathematicians a challenge.
Using resources from a difficult Maths competition site, they have a weekly challenge to complete. These ten children are now split in to two teams of five; pitted against each other.
Believe me when I say that these are tough challenges!
Team work, logic, mathematical knowledge and perseverance are all needed.
If they complete my weekly challenges, with determination, confidence and competence…a reward awaits!!
I will be starting a second Maths Challenge Group, after half term. This will be open to those children who are exceeding the target expected of their age group….anyone willing to have a go can join….but prepared for your brain to ache!!
Year 2 Budding Basketball Players
Both Liam and Cameron showed really potential, with their basketball shooting practice.
The nets were significantly higher than both of them but that did not stop them hitting the target.
They have asked if they can start a basketball club. Would anyone be interested in this, if Mr
Horsley helped them?
I can see some budding Hi5 netball players too.
Great enthusiasm…well done!
Proud of his Jubilee party plan!
Year 3/4 have been planning their jubilee party. Roman was particularly proud of his writing; asking to specifically share his work with me.
Once again, it was a pleasure to talk to him about his work and handwriting and see the progress which has been made.
Having pride in your work does make a huge difference. Well done!
Reception has impressive writers
Miss Noble was so impressed with Zain’s independent writing, that they both came to show me.
His recount of his trip to the park, on Saturday, was well written and gave me a very clear picture of what he did. It sounded like great fun!
What a lovely start to the afternoon….well done Zain!
Allerton has chicks!
Reception classes have been looking after their eggs and have some new chicks!
They have been keeping diaries, which record what has been happening with the eggs.
Mervyn has produced a lovely piece of work.
Year 4 Maths Whizzes!
I was delighted to see the scores on these recent Year 4 Optional SAT’s papers.
What an excellent way to end this half term.
Mr Moore was obviously proud of this work and we look forward to seeing what other challenges we can give to them. Very well done!
Question for classes to answer!
Why can you see streets and shops full of flags, like this?
