For children’s amusement

TTRockstars back on track

TTRockstars, which we last had around four years ago, is a game to help children learn their times tables. It is quite simple to use, which is why it is also helpful for younger years.

On TTRockstars, you can play with your friends or by yourself. There are many games to help you learn your times tables, with different times table questions.

Tokens, which you get for every correct answer, are used to customise your character. You could get pets, more instruments, and more. Once you have played a few games, you go up a level. It is shown on the side of the screen whilst playing.

Teachers can make leaderboards. There are class leaderboards and school leaderboards. Data on how quick, or how many questions you get correct, effect your place on the leaderboard.

Will it be a boy or a girl?

Emily commented, “I went to college so that I could learn to teach. But when I came to this school, I decided to work in the office. I’ve been working here for 10 years.” “If I had taught, I would’ve probably taught Year 2 or Year 3, since they wouldn’t be too young. Although I don’t think that I could have taught a class like Year 6.”

Netball’s coming home

Throughout the day, miniature games were being set up between schools. Team Baschurch was lucky enough to make it into the finals, after beating most of the other schools there.

As soon as they came back to school at about midday, word spread that Baschurch had won.

Frankie, (our photographer,) explained that both of the Baschurch teams won the tournement. “It was really fun!” she exclaimed. “I was very exited. When we got back, we sprayed each other with water, because we were so happy.”

The teams Baschurch played against were: Bicton, Ruyton, Myddle, Kinnerley, Bomere and West Felton.

This is the second time in two years that Baschurch have won the Corbet school Netball tournement. But will our winning streak continue?

Hello Yellow

On Friday 11^th October, we all came to school wearing yellow. But why? What was the point?

That Friday was Mental Health day! We were supporting Young Minds by fundraising money for their charity.

Young Minds helps adults make sure that their children are happy, and make sure that they know that they are not alone.

Lila (our interviewer) declared, “It was fun! I got to doodle on what I wanted and what made me feel happy. Mrs Williams was quite happy with her dungarees. She even made a video about them.”

Hannah exclaimed, “I really enjoyed it. I got to draw a flower on the dungarees, which made me happy. I also donated money to the Young Minds charity on Yellow Day.”

Our harvest festival is a reminder to not waste our food, and to help others to get it. It also reminds us to be thankful for what we have; not just food.
