Hello Everyone,
We hope that you are continuing to stay safe at home.
This week, we had lots of fun at school and learnt all about Wimbledon. We had a Year 1 tournament and some of the teachers even got involved. In years to come I am sure I will see a few of you competing on the TV in the real competition.
This week, we continue with our ‘Bright lights, big city’ topic and our learning is based on the Royal family. I have included lots of fun activities for you to complete and remember to keep emailing your work to the Year 1 email address for us to see.
Many thanks,
Miss Reilly and Miss Holmes

Hello Everyone,
We had another great week in school this week and created some wonderful images of a city skyline.
If you are at home remember to send me an email with your home learning so i can see the amazing things you are doing at home too.
This week, we also have a new task on the homework tab so remember to check it out.
Keep staying safe!
Many thanks,

Recognising notes
“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
As the quote suggests, we all have to live with disappointments and setbacks in life, and the last few months have certainly been testing for everybody connected with St James.
However, nothing can stop us looking to the future with hope and optimism; some day soon, this will all be a thing of the past that we can move on from and hope for better things ahead.
As the video shows, the beauty of nature and the world around us, hasn’t changed during lock-down. We are blessed with so many amazing places to visit in the North East, and this time away from school has given us more opportunities to visit them more often.
Enjoy and stay safe.
Mr Monaghan
Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all continuing to stay safe and enjoying the good weather (when we have it!).
This week the children in school have worked really hard and we have had a great time. Remember if you are at home to keep sending me emails of your work as I love to see it.
With the home learning we are continuing our ‘Bright lights, big city’ topic and in Maths we are beginning to look at money.
Keep working really hard – you are making us very proud!
Many thanks,
Miss Reilly and Miss Holmes
London's Burning Activity Card
This week, in Year 1, we made models of houses that were in The Great Fire of London.
What an amazing class of artists we have!

Hello Everyone,
We hope that you are continuing to stay safe.
It has been lovely to reunite with some of you in the classroom this week and even though it looks a bit different we are still having lots of fun. It was also fantastic to catch up with the rest of you on the phone and we are so proud to hear how hard you are all working.
Please see attached the home learning for this week. We are continuing to look at the city of London for our ‘Bright Lights, Big City,’ topic.
Remember to also check out the homework tab on the school website to see what the whole school task is for this week.
Many thanks,
Miss Reilly and Miss Holmes

Hello Everyone,
I hope that you are all still doing well. As some of you already know, this week I returned to Newcastle and even though I was sad to leave Ireland, seeing some of your smiley faces in school last week definitely cheered me up!
This week some of you will be returning to school and even though it is going to look a bit different we are still going to have lots of fun in the classroom. For those of you who are staying at home I have provided some more home learning based on the theme of ‘Bright Lights, big city’ and I hope to be in contact with you all over the coming days. In the meantime, if you need anything please do not hesitate to email the Year 1 email address.
We hope that you continue to stay safe and well.
Many thanks,
Miss Reilly and Miss Holmes
Describing position
Hello Everyone,
We hope that you all had a lovely mid term break. We have been very lucky that the weather has been so brilliant.
Thank you again to everyone who has been sending me emails and pictures of their work – I love seeing them!

Stay safe and we cannot wait to be reunited.

London Comprehension
Hello St James,
I am really excited to be posting this for you. Because, as the title above suggests, you guys have the chance to become a Guinness World Record holder on Times Tables Rock stars! Imagine how amazing that would be! And as you may have seen last week, Ben and Sophia Toward showed us that you can dream big and be successful in national and international competitions.
The rules from the website are
simple:
Guinness World Records has created a new title – Highest score achieved on ‘Times Tables Rock Stars’ in one minute – and we are looking for players to aim for this special accolade. All you have to do is submit a video of yourself playing a Studio game with the highest score in the world by 23:59 on 4th June 2020.
Should I enter?
Over the years we have seen some incredibly high scores in 1 minute games, like the astonishing 186 in the video in the link below. That gives you an idea of how fierce the competition will be for this Guinness World Records title. With lots of practice can you become the number 1 in the world?
Social media vs Official Attempts
We’d love you to share your efforts on social media using #FastestRocker and copying in @TTRockStars and @GWR but all Official Attempts must be sent by email to support@mathscircle.com
All the final details are available at the link below:
https://ttrockstars.com/page/gwr
Good luck and remember, you have got to be in it to win it.
Mr Monaghan
Hello Everyone,
I hope that you are all continuing to stay safe during these uncertain times. Please see attached the home learning for this coming week, again this is only a guide so please do not feel that it all has to be completed.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted all of their amazing homework pieces – I love reading them all! It has also been lovely to receive some videos and pictures of your adventures during lockdown.
We hope that we are reunited soon so that we can hear all about your adventures in person.
Keep up the hard work!
