This week we have been thinking about imitation and how we can use this skill to improve our thinking in different subject areas and considering who might be a good choice to imitate.

On Monday, Year 3 and 4 golfers visited Addington Court Golf Club for a competition.

We had an amazing time this afternoon. We were thoroughly entertained by our talented children.

This week has been a testing week for our Year 6s.

What a way to end the week- a celebration for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

We have continued to think about meta-learning this week. In particular, we have been thinking about which learning powers are the most useful in specific tasks, for example in a revision task, we would need to capitalise, make links and use interdependence (consider whether it is better to work alone or with others).

Time to prime those brains and flex those fingers: World Maths Day is back!
