Year 6 Residential Update – Day 1

By Mrs S Taylor10th September 2018

We have had an amazing first day on residential!  We have been for a walk to Stanwick lakes where we saw a canal boat and helped open the lock. We loved playing on the play area and testing our bravery with the obstacle course. We have all enjoyed our first activity, which was either archery or climbing. Tonight we are going on a night walk and we can’t wait for our first nights sleep with our friends.

Hopefully photos to follow – we are having some problems uploading with the internet!

 

Mathletics Summer Challenge!

By l hearn20th June 2018

Next week there is a Mathletics Summer Challenge, where we compete against other schools to get the most Mathletics points! The competition runs from 25th June – 1st July 2018.

Please encourage your children to get logged on and complete lots of activities on there so that they can gain points for our school (and practise lots of concepts that they’ve learnt this year in school)! We would love to get as many points as possible and get as high up on the schools leader board as we can!

Good luck everyone!

SKIP 2B FIT at Brooklands Farm

Wow! What an amazing and inspirational couple of days working in partnership with SKIP 2B FIT.

All children in our school showed amazing resilience and growth mindset towards improving their own personal bests. We all really enjoyed the motivational competitions between staff and children. Mr Rickett and Mathias are currently our skipping champions – we are looking forward to see if anyone can beat their scores in the future.

 

6D home learning

By Miss Rebecca Snowdon23rd February 2018

Due Friday 2nd March – please email to MIss Snowdon directly or to the office at Countess Way.

We have been writing 500 words stories this week. They need to be finished for home learning by next Friday. These will need to be typed and emailed to school.

This writing is an assessment piece of writing so it is of the upmost importance that adults do not have involvement or help you, when you are writing this. The writing you finish will be going in your hot task writing folder towards your SATs writing evidence.

This writing must be in school by next Friday, otherwise it will not be able to count towards your writing evidence.

You will need:

  • The photocopy of your book, with your current draft (if you submitted your stories you are just doing the redrafting part of this task)
  • Finish your current story draft – type up if not already
  • Make sure you have DADWAVERS description throughout
    • Description
    • Action
    • Dialogue
    • Where

Have a lovely weekend

Internet Safety Day, 6th February 2018 – 6D

By Miss Rebecca Snowdon6th February 2018

6D have enjoyed taking part in a morning discussing relationships online and how interactions can effect the feelings of others.

They have taken part in positive dialogue, discussing different online situations, behaviours and relationships, suggesting very sensible and mature solutions and explanations. They are looking forward to recording their evidence of this learning on their realsmart online learning portfolios!

6D’s top tips for parents and children for having positive online relationships and using positive online behaviour:

  • People can interpret things differently. Be aware that a message/ post online that you think is funny, could be embarrassing or upsetting to others.
  • Never respond to a negative message or comment. Always tell an adult straight away.
  • Never talk to a person you have never met or is hiding their identity.
  • Something you post online (picture, video, comment, message) is there forever, once you have sent it. They can never be completely deleted. Never post anything that you will feel regretful about later.
  • Parents and adults should always know what their children are doing online (games, social media sites, friends, interactions). Even as we get older, we need to be supervised and checked on.
  • Always ask a person’s permission before sharing a picture of them online.
  • If you’re not sure that your post or message is ok, then it probably isn’t. Always get an adult’s opinion and consent.
  • If it doesn’t feel ok, then it is not. If you feel unhappy or uncomfortable, remove yourself and tell an adult.
  • If your parent says ‘No’, then you do not use it.
