What a wonderful and busy week we have had in Year 6… the highlight of the week was most definitely our visit to Salmesbury Hall on Tuesday. This was a great way to kick start our learning on the Tudors, there was so much to take in, but we learnt so much from our tour guide Simon.We particualrly enjoyed learning about the ‘white lady’ where a few of us took on the characters extremely well. Take a look at what we got up to …
We hope you enjoyed our Curriculum Evening last night. It was so lovely to see so many families sharing our learning with us and we enjoyed exploring how we teach our wider curriculum. Thank you so much to those Year 6’s who came to help and support us, it is much appreciated.
Today, we have had another different day, where we have been very snuggly and warm in our PJ’s to raise money for Brian House- thank you so much for your donations!
Within class this week, although we have been struck with illness this week, we have continued working harder than ever, putting our resilience and readiness to good use. In English this week we have compared and created a toolkit for writers of how to engage the audience in story openings, before writing our own story next week.
SPELLING
A small plea- please could we ensure all children are practising their spellings throughout the week that they get for homework to ensure they have learnt and memorised crucial spelling patterns that they need to apply to their writing. Every week we do a quiz in class, and it is clear that some children are not spending the time on these that they need to. Thank you for your support.
Leading Learners
Well done to Angel, Alex and Lily-Mae this week.
Angel, you impress us every day with your enthusiasm, focus and determination in lessons. You have real ownership of your learning, and are a pleasure to teach, with your quick wit, curious mind and polite manners- you never miss an opportunity to thank us or offer help.
Lily-Mae, you have kind and beautiful soul, where you quietly and humbly show compassion to those around you, always willing to offer a helping hand or offer a kind word. You work so cooperatively with who ever you work with; listening, offering your opinion sensitively and showing great focus.
Wow Alex, you have really impressed us with your enthusiasm, focus and desire to learn during Science lessons. You have shown when you put your mind to it, you are capable of great things! Keep asking questions and investigating to find the answers!
