Being a ‘Bully Buster’ in 4OP!

ANTI-BULLYING WEEK 2023! 

4OP have had a fantastic start to anti-bullying week! This year the theme is make a noise about bullying and we’ve spent some time looking at what bullying is.

We have discussed different scenarios and even had an assembly led by wellbeing mentors from BBS pupils.

We want to be a bully buster in 4OP… someone who spots bullying and makes the right choices. Someone who helps others and makes a noise about something happening that doesn’t feel right.

4OP are really clear on how bullying is repetitive and intentional and even looked at what ‘banter’ is.

Well done 4OP!!!

4N Area in Maths

Today, 4N began a new maths topic on ‘Area’ and challenged me to create as many 2D shapes as possible that had an area of 6 cubes! The children also did the same task, creating different shapes with 4 cubes. Here are just some of the possible options with 6 cubes!

England Rocks 🎸


Dear parent/carer,

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online on TTRS.

Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.

In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans.

4M Travel Workshop

4M had a great morning with a Be Bright Be Seen workshop! The children looked at how to stay safe with the darker evenings and mornings.

They conducted an Science experiment to test which fluorescent colour would be the best to wear! After the investigation, the children concluded that fluorescent yellow was the best. After such a great workshop, the children have all been given a pair of bright gloves to wear during the darker season.
