Super work to those children who have been reading and doing their AR tests. 

Good job to those people who have been logging into TTRcokstars and Bug Club this week.

Well done Chaffinches - we won this week's TTRockstars battle against Cuckoo! House points to James and Tahmida who earned over 1,000 points this week. 

Our new TTRockstars battle will be against Chiff Chaff and has already started. Get online to practise your multiplication and division tables. 

I have really enjoyed watching videos from Ciara, Angelica and Shameer today. Ciara wrote a meditation about the beach and read it in a very soothing way leaving me completely relaxed afterwards. Angelica recorded herself explaining why it is important to clap for the NHS. Shameer created a volcano and made it explode using vinegar, dish soap and bicarbonate of soda. He also videoed himself caring for his plants, which will be our next Science topic. 

Angelica has also completed our number hunt and wrote descriptively using her senses about the beach. 

Shameer has drawn a picture of Florence Nightingale and practised our year two spellings. 

Saim and Uzair have created some play dough shapes and artwork.

The current task is to 'become a super hero and demonstrate your super powers'.
