Year 6 News
Fri 19 Apr 2024This week year 6 have settled back in really well after the easter break. We have been starting to prepare more for our SATS week with daily SATS boosters and we have also had our first DA&RT session with our new DA&RT officer. This week, we have also picked up Spanish lessons with Mrs Crease, who always comments on how hard working and polite the children are. Last night, we held our parent SATS briefing, outlining some vital information for parents in the lead up to SATS. A special thanks goes out to those who attended. Like we said in the meeting last night, if you need any guidance or have any questions on what to do on preparing your children for SATS at home then please get in touch.

Fri 22 Mar 2024WOW! What a week we have had. On Monday, we went to the Tropical Butterfly House in Sheffield and had a fantastic time. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and got to see a range of different animals. For example: giant tortoises, lemurs, meerkats, wallabies, otters, tamarins macaws and butterflies. In the butterfly house, we had a talk from one of the rangers all about the tropical environment and learnt about how different animals use a range of senses to help them survive. Some children even held a giant cockroach!
On Wednesday, some children went in to Nottingham to meet some of the Nottingham Panthers and had a go at ice-skating. The children who stayed in school took part in a number of Easter themed activities and special Spanish and Music sessions. Today, we had our Easter service at St Helens Church and learnt all about this special time of year. Next week, we have just three days in school before we break up for the holiday.

Fri 22 Mar 2024This week has been a very busy and exciting one. We loved our trip to see and skate with the panthers on Wednesday, it was a fantastic experience and we had the opportunity to speak to them and ask them lots of questions. On Friday, we had our Easter church visit at St Helens where we sang songs and took part in Easter-related activities to celebrate. We have now finished our adverts for our Mayan chocolate and have started a new unit in maths on Length and Perimeter, which we will continue into next term. We had our last Spanish lesson on Thursday and looked at masculine and feminine agreement with nouns and adjectives, drawing upon our colours. In Science, we have been classifying animals based upon the features of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish. In Topic, we have looked into what daily life was life for the Mayan civilisation. We are looking forward to yet another busy and exciting week next week with our Magna Albany Adventure and Sports WOW day!
