Year 4 have been busy creating designs for our library and independent spaces in key stage two. First we learnt about measurements, then drew designs labelling the sizes and objects we were using and then finally we have used all the resources brought in from home and by school we have created our very own new spaces.
Great learning zones and they look great!

Hi Everyone!
Big apologies to all the children in 3b who did not receive their homework today!
I have put it here on the website and will also give out a paper copy on Monday, therefore will expect that some children may not be able to complete it by next Thursday!
Apologies again and I hope you all have a great weekend!
Miss Russell

Just wanted to say a big well done to 4D for winning the attendance trophy last week for our 100%. Great to see everyone with a smile on their face in a high learning zone, happy to be at school.
Let’s keep it up for the rest of the half term!
Mr Kerin 4D
Our transition project this year explored the topic of ‘Inspirations and Aspirations’.
In class 3b the children produced some excellent pieces of homework, setting themselves targets at school and outside of school, as well as recognising the resilience and determination needed to reach our goals. The children thought about their aspirations for now and the future, and shared these with their class. Here are two children from 3b who produced a video for their homework on this topic!
We hope you enjoy!
Miss Russell and Class 3b
Year 2 have been getting ready to write with enthusiasm and use all of our knowledge. We have created some writing hats to help us get into the mindset for writing as we focus on Roald Dahl and Esio Trot. These will help us remember what to put into our writing.
This year, Year 4 homework will be from next week given out on a Thursday to be handed in on a Wednesday.
Spellings will also be given out on a Thursday for children to practice for their weekly spelling test every Wednesday (the following Wednesday)
Homework will be marked on Wednesdays as well.
If your child is struggling with their homework, please encourage them to speak to their teacher, who will arrange a time in the school day to go through it with them.
Thanks
Year 4 team
Welcome back year 2, it was great to find out all of your holiday news and to see such high learning zones on your return! Really looking forward to the learning journey we will be going on this year!
On a practical note Year 2 on Countess Way will have PE on Thursdays and Fridays.
Mr Morrison
What a fantastic start to year 2 made by all year 2 on Countess Way! 2D has settled in so well to the class routines and has even begun year 2 learning which is amazing.
We have been focusing on Roald Dahl as a significant author and have combined our knowledge of George’s Marvellous Medicine and capacity to design our very own marvellous medicine. The children have worked calmly to produce their medicines, ensure we had no spillages, worked accurately to read their scales and they used their incredible imagination to think up an incredible concoction.
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful summer and look forward to hearing all about it in September! Thank you for working so hard these last few weeks.
Mr Morrison
The last 3 weeks have been very busy in 3b! We have done lots of getting to know each other, learning and exploring inspirational people! The children have all settled in wonderfully and have really taken ownership of their classroom. We are all ready and set up to come back in September and start our year 3 learning! Have a great summer 3b!
We all had great fun being involved in using basketball wheelchairs and practising steering, turning and going under bridges!
We also had Kate Gray come in a visit us. She is a Paralympic swimmer who really inspired us all to set ourselves goals, believe in ourselves and others and remember that nothing is possible by always say ‘I can’!
