This week, you have two pieces of home learning due in for Wednesday next week.
The first is reading. You need to read the provided biography of Nelson Mandela and answer the questions.
The second piece is a maths task that has been set by your maths teacher.
If you need another copy of any of these tasks you need to ask your teacher.
Don’t forget that home work club is Tuesday lunch time.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Snowdon
We have had a great time igniting our Nelson Mandela project. We’ve started our journey by researching about Mandela’s life and communicating this learning within our own comic strips.
This is what we’ve done so far…
Calling all year six!
There has been a typing error on the home learning.
The writing task and school leader application letters are due in on Wednesday, not Monday!
The art task is due in on Monday; however, as it is required for the ignite day! If there are any printing issues, do not hesitate to email it in to school to be printed here.
Please also be reminded that we provide a Tuesday lunch time home learning club every week. If for any reason, you would prefer to do your home learning in school with a teacher nearby to assist then do come along.
Please find a copy of the home learning task in the link below:
Note – the formatting corrects itself once you download it.
Phew!
This week we have been really busy finding the gaps that have crept into our learning journeys over the summer. We have enjoyed seeing the other year six teachers in the morning for ‘close the gap’ maths groups and are really getting back into the swing of writing! We have aching hands now.
Our ‘Take One Picture’ project learning has been a great opportunity to be creative and collaborative. We are so excited to communicate this learning with our parents next Thursday (remember it is first come, first serve!).
Preparation for the Lantern Festival has already begun. Today, we began learning the choreography to the dance that we’ll be performing.
Here is a sneaky preview of our groovy moves:
Wow! What a week back-we’re exhausted already. We have had a fantastic first week of the new school year.
Throughout the week, we have been working very hard on our redrafting and review – based on Ron Berger’s Austin’s Butterfly. Here are two examples of the standard we have achieved in our redrafting so far:
On top of that, we’ve used a brilliant new learning tool called Padlet to excellent effect! Padlet lets us write collaboratively on the smartboard using our iPads. 6a even showed 3b how it is done!
But the highlight of the week was definitely Science with Mrs Khatoon, who did Bubble-ology with us! We made bubbles inside of bubbles:
Phew! What will we do next week?
Good morning, 6a.
I’m very excited to see you this morning! Don’t forget your PE kit and gotcha smile!
Miss Snowdon
I am sat doing lots of new learning today with the teachers and I am thinking fondly of old and new 6a.
I would like to wish my old 6a class all the very best at their new secondary school – do not forget how to be Strong and Powerful and make sure you come back to tell me how you are all doing.
New 6a- I am very excited to see you all on Monday 7th. I imagine you have all grown over the summer and I can’t wait to see your smart new haircuts! Don’t forget your gotcha smiles!
Miss Snowdon
Hello year 7!
As from tomorrow, you will be starting your transition. We are going to make the next few weeks as similar to secondary school for you as we can so that you can begin to adjust to the routine and expectations. You will be following a timetable and will have a different teacher for each lesson, just as you will do when you go to your new school.
From tomorrow, you need to bring a rucksack or bag that is big enough to easily hold an A4 book. This bag will carry all of your work books and learning equipment each day at school.
THIS BAG MUST STAY IN SCHOOL – it is vital you don’t take this bag home with you as it will have all of your learning in it. We ask that until you leave for the summer holidays, you make sure this bag stays in school.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Mrs Hern.
Good luck, year 7!
Hello year six!
Your colours for sports day are the same as the ones that you had for the brain day (when we came in with a coloured top to make a big brain on the playground!)
If you are still not sure, don’t worry, we’ll give out letters reminding you of your colour on Tuesday – remember please, no school on Monday.
Sports day for KS2 (years 3, 4, 5 and 6) is Friday 26th June from 4pm. Bring your suncream!
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Miss Snowdon
We had another visit from Matt again today, who spoke to us about the redrafting process. We are looking forward to applying this to the writing that we have been working on this week!
Thank you, Matt!
