We also have termly KIRFs – this term they are consolidating timetables and related division facts.

Having a good knowledge of timetables will be imperative to the learning in maths this year, so please do encourage your child to practice these regularly. Here are some online games that your child can use or log in to Times Table Rockstars.

Knuckleball Twins

It was fantastic to have Sammy come to talk about his footballing experiences with some of the big clubs and to show the children some of the things he and his twin brother, Charlie, have been up to.

They started their YouTube channel back in 2012 and everything on there is safe for children. If you’d like to share their videos with your child, please click the link >>> https://www.youtube.com/@KnuckleballTwins (please be aware that adverts may be played and that St Nicholas Primary are not responsible for external web content)

Sammy went on to demonstrate the knuckleball skills with the children outside in the sunshine and they had about 45 minutes practising together.

 

Ancient Egyptian Day

We had a fantastic Ancient Egyptian day. The Living Workshop really brought ancient Egypt to life for us.  We made our own cartouches by sanding down the metal and engraving our initials in hieroglyphics.  We played Tomb Raider, carved our own figures, wrote our own afterlife spells on papyrus paper, weaved with reeds, ground grain to make flour, learned how to play a game called Senet, took part in an artefact quiz, mummified apples and lots more!
