The big event!

Year 6 children have had a busy week getting ready for our charity fundraising event! The children have been working hard, expanding their knowledge about the heart and the valuable work undertaken by the British Heart Foundation.

The event itself was a fantastic experience enjoyed by all who attended. The children were on hand to share their learning, including:

·       -    Non-chronological reports about the heart
·       -    Skipping skills
·       -    Taking the pulse (resting and after exercise)
·       -    The British Heart Foundation
·       -    The science of the circulatory system and blood

Our cereal bar tasting station was a huge success – the most popular option was the carrot! After school, Mrs Durrant kindly counted up all the donations and we made a grand total of £67 pounds! Well done to all those involved.

Finally, we decided we had kept the children in suspense for long enough and announced our first set of prefects for the year! We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate those who were successful – we are confident you will all set an excellent example for the other children and will be a great help as you start to take on additional responsibilities around the school. We’ll be an eye out for potential future candidates who will expand our team of prefects in the new year…

Revision time

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, SP...

Enjoying learning!

This week, we have continued to read our mystery book. We had to do a roll on the wall about the main character, Alex. A roll on the wall is when you describe a character; using feelings on the inside and description on the outside. We have also been doing some end of KS2 tests, preparing us for our SATs later in the year. In PE, we have been dancing and had a taste tester of tennis. As mathematicians, we have been learning about converting FDP (fractions,decimals and percentages). We are all enjoying learning new things and working hard.
