Year 6 News
Fri 17 May 2024Well! What a week! I think we can safely say that the year 6s are glad it is over. We cannot express how proud we are of them. They gave it their absolute everything during the whole of SATS week and they applied themselves in the most pressurised situation. The only change has been today, where we have started our DA&RT program but we decided to give them a treat afternoon where we sat and watched a film. We hope they have a lovely weekend and get a well deserved rest from being at school!

Fri 17 May 2024It has been a different week this week. Due to Year 6 SATS, we spent some time in the hall working on a project all about Scotland. The children have written some fantastic travel brochures, filled with information about different Scottish landmarks, traditions, celebrations, foods and so much more.
Because we have not had the usual routine, the spellings and times tables will be carried over to next week.

Year 5 News
Fri 10 May 2024It has been so lovely to have such lovely weather this week - especially with the bank holiday at the start. Yesterday, Year 5 had a Scottish day in school where they learnt about different Scottish traditions and the history behind tartan. They also got to taste ty of different foods. Such as: square sausage, haggis, black pudding, fruit pudding, mac and cheese pie, scotch pie, burnt loaf, potato cakes and teacakes. I'm not sure the haggis went down well but they certainly enjoyed the tablet. In the afternoon, they took part in Highland games where they competed as clans in a number of events.
Please see the spellings below for next week and they will be focusing on the 12 times table.

Fri 10 May 2024This week has been another busy one despite it being a four day week. We have continued to learn about the Vikings attacking the Anglo-Saxons on Lindisfarne and have also studied an Anglo Saxon king, who was buried in his ship with all his important and precious belongings with him, helping us to understand more about what life was like in these times. In Science, the children were extremely excited to make circuits and make bulbs light up and buzzer sound.
Remember to read for Starbook and that it's Freezer Friday every week on a Friday- ice creams and lollies for a pound.

As we continue to prepare for SATS, we become increasingly amazed at their resilience and to help us along with this, we have started some 'My Happy Mind' sessions regarding getting our children into a positive head space before their tests arrive. We are so proud of their efforts.

We hope the children have a well deserved rest over the bank holiday weekend. We shall see all the children on Tuesday!
