I brought in a steel pan for my presentation of our around the world homework project. For my project I did Trinidad and Tobago. I played the steel pan in front of my class.

Honey Pomelo

Today I brought in a Chinese fruit called Honey Pomelo that I'd found out about in my project on Taiwan! It's like a giant orange and tastes a bit like a grape fruit. The Honey Pomelo has thick peel and is very hard to get open! I showed my class (Y5/6C) how to open it in a special way. After I finished opening it, I told the class the Taiwanese people called the now peeled peel a hat. So I wore it on my head! Then, me and Sophie, took the bowl of cut up Honey Pomelo round all three later year classes for us all to taste. It taste very very Gert Lush! If you would like to try some you can get them in Lidl or the Chinese Super Market in Eastville.

Great start to Mathletics

It is great to see so many Later Years children (Year 5& 6) undertaking Mathletics during the school holidays. Looking at the children's results so far, they have made a fantastic start. Some of our pupils have even made it onto the Mathletics UK top 100 students. Well done!!!

The Launch of Mathletics

Last week saw the exciting Launch of Mathletics across the Later Years Primary. Mathletics is a fantastic online Maths resource which sets tasks and provides help for children's learning in Maths.


One of the most exciting things about Mathletics is the fact that the children can undertake in Mathletics live, a place where children can compete at Maths with friends and children from around the world.



Whilst playing Mathletics the children can receive points for good results and in return can achieve certificates. The website also allows the teacher to set ability levels and monitor results.
With it being online, in means that it allows the children to access it where ever they have the Internet, making it brilliant for home learning.
