Week 20 Newsletter 03/03/2017
Behaviour – Traffic Lights
At the Academy we use a traffic light system to warn children if their behaviour is not of
the acceptable standard. The aim is for the children to stay in green. For children to display green behaviour; they would be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right
thing. The totals below show many children have achieved this each week.
This week 359 out of 361 children have stayed in Green.
Well Done!

This week we
have been
learning all
about whales.
Did you know
that a blue whale weighs as much
as 30 elephants and that it’s heart is
the size of a small car? Make sure
you ask us for more facts about
whales!

What a busy
week! We
have been
working hard
on our
capacity
skills in Maths
and used real life containers to help
us with our reasoning. Then, in
spelling we used our dictionary skills
to find the meaning of lots of
different words and checked
whether they were spelt correctly.
Leopards -@EstcourtYear3
Sharks - @EstcourtSharks
We have been
really resilient in the
Meerkats this week!
In Maths we worked
on a range of
decimals as we had to add
decimals with 3 decimals places.
Then in spelling we worked on our
possessive apostrophe skills and
used the pyramid method to help
us to spell a range of homophones.
Well done Meerkats!
Another fantastic
week in Year 1! Lions
and Penguins have
started the ‘We are
Hull’ topic and are
very excited to learn all about Amy
Johnson. In Writing lessons, we have
been writing a recount using capital
letters for names, days and months.
We have also shown resilience in
Maths when solving addition and
subtraction number problems.

This week…
Due to all the fabulous entries, judging
the winners of our recent Art and
Design competition proved tough.
Finally, we have been able to whittle it
down to four entries.
In KS1 the winner is Jack, for his
fabulous representation of Queens
Gardens. In a close second place,
Elliot's depiction of The Deep.
Lily-Mae and Zoe combined to win the
KS2 competition with an intricate
model, while Martha challenged them
with her recycled representation to
claim the runners up spot.
A big well done to all of the amazing
entries!
Meerkats @EstcourtYear4n5
A very busy week in the Eagles
classroom! We worked particularly
hard by designing wonderful and
inspiring badges representing what
we love about Hull: Our City Of
Culture. We worked diligently on
our sewing skills to produce to
badges. As well as this we have
been learning all about the reproduction system in plants.
Eagles-@EstcourtYear6
We have worked
really hard in the
Spiders and Frogs.
We were creative
and worked on a
range of different
ideas in the Lego corner. Then, in Topic
we have made some fantastic pieces
of Art and Writing for our learning
gallery!

This week Year
Two have been
working on their
money skills! We
looked at a
range of coins
and what the
value of each of them is! Then in
Music we worked on our ukulele
skills as we learnt how to read
music and how to use this to play a
tune. Also, we are really proud of
all the amazing pieces of Hull
homework we received this week!
Ladybirds @EstcourtYear_2
Butterflies - @EstcourtYear2
This week we
had a great time
celebrating world
book day! We
used sketching
skills to replicate Alice In Wonderland
illustrations, created Charlie and the
chocolate factory maps in PE and
even made Harry Potter wands in DT!
Also, we have started a new times
table game in class and love
battling for the top of the leader
board!
Panthers - @EstcourtYear4
In Computing this week we kicked off
World Book day by conducting a whole
class research project to discover who
the most popular authors are in each
year group. In groups we created a
data base and have shown our results in different
graphs which we have used to create and answer our
own statistic questions for Mathematics. In Science we
have been busy experimenting again but this time with
liquids. Another super week for the Tigers!
