  • Living Lands

    Published 30/04/24, by Joshua Cialis

    On Thursday, we will be travelling to Kent County Showground for the Living Lands Trip. This is an exciting opportunity for the children to experience an agricultural show and learn more about the farming and animals in our county. 

    Children must be at school at 8:00am on Thursday as we will be leaving school as soon as possible.

    On Thursday, all children must bring:

    • All children will wear school uniform with comfortable shoes.
    • A packed lunch (no egg, no nuts)
    • A drinks bottle (no fizzy)
    • Waterproofs (it will probably rain and we are outside most of the day)
    • Sun cream (if needed)
    • Children will need to carry everything for the day and will not be able to leave things on the coach
    • Children do NOT need to bring any money to the event as there is nothing for sale.
    • If your child takes any medication (that is not already in school) this needs to be given to the office on the day of the trip so we can take it with us.

    This will be a great day and hopefully the children will learn lots too.

  • Times Tables Practice

    Published 29/04/24, by Seb Chamberlain

    We have increased the amount of practice in preparation for the June Multiplication Tables Check and we have seen progress already, which is fantastic. Seeing the children feel more confident and less wary of the test is a great encouragement, aside from the obvious benefit this has for their maths in general. 

    Please continue to them to only practice on Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, the mock version of the test. It has been key in them getting more used to the timings (six seconds per question) of the check. 

    Ten minutes a day makes a huge difference so please encourage your child to practice, practice, practice!

  • Flexible seating!

    We are really enjoying our new flexible seating in Team Chamberlain. Each day, six children can choose to work from a beanbag or floor chair for their independent work.

  • Multiplication Tables Check

    Published 23/04/24, by Seb Chamberlain

    We are continuing our efforts to prepare the children as much as possible for their Multiplication Tables Check in June. The children only have 6 seconds per question to give their answer - not a huge amount of time to think of the answer and type it in. As such, we would like the children to only practice on Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, the mock version of the test. This will best help them familiarise with the format of the test and get them used to the six seconds allocation. 

    Ten minutes a day would make a huge difference so please encourage your child to practice, practice, practice!

  • Multiplication Tables Check

    Published 15/04/24, by Seb Chamberlain

    The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is taking place in June. This is a statutory test that all Year 4s in England will take part in. The test will take place online and consists of 25 multiplication questions which the children will have 6 seconds per question to answer. 

    We would like the children to be as prepared as possible and the best way to do this is practice, practice, practice. At school we have been using Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, which is a mock version of the test. Times Tables Rock Starsis great fun and a really good way to increase their fluency. 

    We have had some great results already, and seen direct improvement within a week when they have practised more, so please encourage them to spend a little time each day on either of the sites mentioned above.

  • Welcome back!

    Published 15/04/24, by Seb Chamberlain

    Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful break. It's a lovely amount of time to relax and catch up with friends and family, but it always amazes me how quickly it passes.

    Term 5 is now upon us and hopefully it will bring the good weather with it. It's another exciting term with lots of fun learning, as well as a class trip!

    PE (outdoor) is now on Mondays, so please make sure your child is wearing an appropriate PE uniform on this day. 

    I will keep you all up to date with any further information, such as reading together, on the blog so do please keep looking.
