Our house has great imagination and creativity, our strong point is sport.
We have lots of people that are good at sports but unfortunately last year we didn’t win the sports cup. One of our weak spots is making decisions quickly and we need to improve our cooperation skills.
The Twits are from a Roald Dahl book, which is about a man and a woman (Mr Twit and Mrs Twit), who are the smelliest, grumpiest, nastiest people in the world, and we will show no mercy during the house competitions, we will do everything to win.
Our house’s motto is ‘Run to the Top’. Our main colour is yellow, and our ‘Coat of Arms’ is a Twit standing on a hillside.
Our goal for this year is to try to do our best to win the HOUSE CUP and try to win the SPORTS CUP again because our team members are very strong and we believe that we can win it. This year we have a better chance than last year at winning because we have lots of new teammates.
Education gained at school is important, along with equally important general knowledge and practical skills.
Hence, at our English school, we value our cooperation with an international team.
Jolly Phonics is an engaging way to teach children pre -reading and pre -writing skills using phonics. Phonics is the teaching of the sounds that letters make, rather than the names of letters that are taught in the alphabet, because it is the sounds that are useful for reading and writing, not the names. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer in future. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games! To read more about Jolly Phonics, clickhere.

More about Cambridge Primary EnglishCambridge Primary MATHEMATICS focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. Knowing your times tables facts without practical application and without developing alongside some good problem solving skills is not that helpful - in our school, we make sure our pupils know why they are learning it and how they can use the specific knowledge and skill.
