Read MoreFlexible seating!
Published 23/04/24, by Seb ChamberlainWe 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.
Read MoreMultiplication Tables Check
Published 23/04/24, by Seb ChamberlainWe 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!
Read MoreCrab joke competition
Published 16/04/24, by Seb ChamberlainOn Monday, the Crab Museum came into school to tell us all about a competition they are running to find the World's Funniest Crab Joke! We are also very excited that our KS2 JLT has been invited to judge the competition alongside Harry Hill, Phil Wang and Sally Phillips! The winner of the competition will be crowned on international crab day - Friday 26th April 2024. In the meantime, start submitting your best crab jokes via the link on their web page - Crab Joke Competition — Crab Museum.
Read MoreMultiplication Tables Check
Published 15/04/24, by Seb ChamberlainThe 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.
Read MoreWelcome back!
Published 15/04/24, by Seb ChamberlainWelcome 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.

It was lovely to see so many of you at the Extravaganza at The Granville on Tuesday. It was a fantastic night, we were all so proud of the children.
Have a wonderful Easter break recharging the batteries!
