Revision time

January 24, 2019

Year 6 have had a busy week completing practice papers. We have been delighted with the progress the children have made since October. All of the children have shown a really positive attitude this week and have wanted to show us all the new things they have learnt over the last few months. We will be sharing this information with the children over the next few weeks.

We are preparing to start our revision for the SATs and in the next couple of weeks there will be some slight timetable changes. We will prepare the children for this.
We are also planning to run after-school booster sessions for some children. If your child has been selected to take part in these sessions, a letter will be coming home next week.

Several parents have asked if there are any revision guides they can use at home. The photos below show a couple of examples. They are good for short bursts of revision. You can get books focussing on subject guidance and also practise questions. The books cover reading, SPAG, …

The children have worked so hard in their revision groups this week and we have been working on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. The children finished off this unit by applying their understanding of fractions to solving word problems.
In English, we have introduced our new book - Journey to the River Sea - and the children have been finding lots of facts about the Amazon river and the Brazilian rainforest to help them engage with this story and the characters within it. The red spelling words have been sent out for next half term so please look out for these in the children's bags. If you could display these at home and encourage your children to learn them, that would be really useful.
We have begun looking at Hinduism in RE, which involved the children re-telling a Hindu story.
As scientists, we collected specimens of flora and fauna from the common and made detailed scientific sketches based on Charles Darwin's work.

'Classic Primary morning.'

Well, another busy week in Snow Leopard class! The children have managed very well with different teachers taking the class while Mrs Penton has been away. Mrs Weyer and I are very proud of them.
Today the children finished making their fabulous clay masks. We will now wait for them to dry before they are fired and put on display. Lots of people have been admiring our work already!
We also turned our classroom into a writer's studio. The children could decide where they would like to work. We also lit a log fire to keep warm in our studio!
