The KS2 choir did our school proud on Friday at the Junior Music Festival at the Queens theatre. We were the smallest choir there but that did not stop them putting in a show stopping performance of ‘Walking on Sunshine’.
Well done KS2 choir you are all superstars!

The children in Year 3 have been writing descriptions of a brand new character. We have seen some fantastic work with similes, adjectives and commas to separate items in a list! Here is an extract from Ryan’s work. ”Mrs Gloss has an ugly, horrible and disgusting face. Her teeth are black and bruised. Her breath smells like stinky, rotten eggs because she doesn’t brush them.” We definitely have the next Roald Dahl or David Walliams in our year group!

On 19th June, some children from Year 3 and 4 were lucky enough to represent the school at Quad Kids. During the event, which was held at Hornchurch Stadium, children participated in a long distance run, a sprint race, vortex throw and standing long jump. The children did themselves, their parents and the school proud, well done!
Health and Fitness Week has been a great success with the children taking part in lots of different activities and being able to enjoy different healthy fruit and veg. On Monday, the children took part in the 5-a-day Pentathlon and will be trying to better their score in September. Throughout the day on Tuesday, children took part in a Clubbercise session in which they danced the day away to some classic songs. The smoothie bike took off on Wednesday, as we saw each class create their winning smoothie. Finally on Thursday the children took to their seats to watch Teachers vs Year 6 rounder, which saw the teacher win.

Year 3 have started learning about the famous poet Spike Milligan. We researched lots of facts about him, his TV & radio shows and listened to four of his most absurd poems! ‘On the Ning Nang Nong’ and ‘Land of the Bumbley Boo’ seemed to be very popular across the two classes. We discovered that he was born in Poona, India and was the son of an Irish captain. Lots of interesting discussions were held about the invention of television and why the radio was such a popular form of entertainment in the past.

Hi all
This week in Ash & Aspen we are busy finding the inverse for addition and subtraction problems. This is proving to be very challenging! Any support at home you can give the children will be beneficial.
For example if presented with the question ______ – 20 = 40, we can add the 20 + 40 back together to make 60. We then must prove that it works by completing 60-20=40. If the 3 numbers match, then we are correct. If they do not match we need to check for errors in our adding or subtracting.
Once the children are secure in doing this with 2 digit numbers, move onto 3 digit numbers.
Many thanks,
Mrs Toms
This week, the whole school has been on the look out for big red numbers! The numbers are hidden and the children are on a mission to find them and return them to Miss Brown,along with a fact of their choice about that number. The children have enjoyed searching throughout the school and showing off their number skills!
