KS2
Welcome to KS2
The children made all the staff very proud when they attended the "celebration" event at Rosehill to mark the end of our Arts Award project. They all took to the stage and were clear, confident and proud of their work. Look in our class gallery for lots more photos

Our new class book is Parent Agency by David Baddiel
.
A brilliantly funny, gripping novel - The Parent Agency is an epic wish-fulfilment adventure for every child – and for the child in everyone.
Barry said, a third time, “I wish I had better parents!” And then suddenly the entire room started to shake…
Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. In fact it’s number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1) ‘being boring’ and 3) ‘always being tired’.
But there is a world, not far from this one, where parents don’t have children. That’s far too random for something so big and important. In this world, children are allowed to choose their parents.
For Barry Bennett, this world seems like a dream come true. Only things turn out to be not quite that simple…
Illustrated by Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner, Jim Field

Homework reminder
Strive for 5 - read 5 times a week and get AN ADULT to listen to you and sign your planner
I believe our class can easily win the weekly Strive for 5 certificate! Come on we can do it!
Times table practice - show me that you have practiced in your book on at least 4 different nights of the week and then you will be ready to show off your skills in class when we do our 3 minute Rockstar test everyday.
USE TIMES ROCKSTARS, - the children who use it are definitely improving loads. I have genuinely heard children say, "I know my 9's because of Rockstars" and "I am so much faster and it is all because of ROCKSTARS."
Spelling practice - show me that you have practiced your words in your book on at least 4 different nights of the week and then you will be able to spell your words easily on the test on Friday. Remember I love to see your pictures which include your spelling words wrote over and over again inside of them. USE SPELLING SHED - the children who are using it regularly are seeing a big improvement in their spelling.
Year 6 will have additional homework each week. You must do it not only to improve your skills but in order to get into a good routine for secondary school where no homework means detention!
Remember you will be rewarded for completing your homework AND striving for 5
