On Friday, Year One were lucky to have the Year six’s come down to us and hear some readers. It was a great opportunity to show off and celebrate how far the Year One’s have come with their reading this year! Well done 1b (:
Parents and Carers,
We hope you enjoy our video about how best to support us for SATs!
Remember – breakfast club is available for all year six children Monday 9th May – Thursday 12th May (free of charge) so that we can all have breakfast together as a team each morning of SATs week. Siblings on Fen Street are more than welcome to join us!
This morning, Group D have been revising different tenses in grammar:
- Past progressive – [was/were + present participle (verb+’ing’)
- Past perfect – [had + past participle (verb+’ed’)]
- Present perfect – [has/have + past participle (verb+’ed’)]
- Past perfect progressive – [had been + present participle (verb+’ing’)]
Below is a photograph of the notes we made during the lesson, a video we watched and some websites we used to help to secure this learning. Enjoy!
Congratulations to our most recent pins and ribbon recipients! We are very proud to have you in our team.
We have had three more 6a team members earn their second Strong and Powerful ribbon in the last two weeks! Congratulations!
6a are having a fantastic afternoon! For the ‘collect’ stage of our new project ‘The Vikings’, we have generated questions about things we would like to find out or learn more about. Now, we are using our reading corner and the iPads to carry out our own research to find the answers to these questions!
Just look at these learning zones!
The video below is a short one minute video explaining the essential reading skills of skimming and scanning a text to find information and to read at speed. Both skills are vital for you to practise in preparation for your ‘find and retrieve’ reading comprehension questions!
The website also has other pages that go into these explanations in more detail and there are practise tasks provided. A great one to do at home – enjoy!
Congratulations to the winners of the latest Strong and Powerful pins and ribbons!
6a are on a roll!
We have awarded two more Strong and Powerful pins and another red ribbon – well done to these lovely girls.
Our target as a class is for everyone to have achieved their first red ribbon by Easter. Come on 6a, you can do it!
Wow! This week started on a fantastic note for our year 6 team as some of our ‘Tree Week’ artwork has been framed and put on display in school. It’s like a real art gallery on the staircase. Have a look …
This week we have also been learning about animals and how they adapt to the habitats that they live in (in order to survive). We’ve really enjoyed choosing a habitat and designing our own animals and their adaptations. We even got to design an animal that had poorly adapted to its habitat – so therefore, wouldn’t survive.
We wonder what excitement next week will bring…
