Collaboration is key - especially in Year 6! This week we have collaborated and shared in every lesson - this has helped us to learn from each other. We have collaborated to understand mixed and improper fractions in Maths, converting, adding and subtracting them. We have collaborated in Geography, making graphs on Purple Mash to show the rainfall in two places in South America. We have collaborated in English, collecting descriptive phrases from the prologue of our class novel and performing freeze frames that depict character’s feelings and actions.
This whole notion of collaboration will stand us in good stead as we move forward as a class. Last week they each received their positions of responsibility and what a great start to the year they have made! They came back to school on Tuesday ready and raring to go and they have worked together beautifully, what a team they make. You will see this in full force on Tuesday 27th September 9:10am for our class assembly. Please make sure they are practicing their lines and song for next week- thank you.
It was lovely to see so many of you there for the Year 6 induction evening on Wednesday. This is such a crucial year for your children and we must work together to ensure each of them reach their full potential and have a real sense of achievement this year. If you would like to refer back to the induction presentation at all, then please feel free to access on the button below:
A desperate plea:
I am desperate to put photographs of your children on this blog to share all of the wonderful learning but I can’t do this until I have all consent forms back and I only have half. Please could you make sure you have sent the following two forms, even if your child has no medical needs this form still needs to be completed.
Helpers in the mornings:
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:
Amber Jacob O India Julia Hollie-Rose

Kind and compassionate butterflies
We have been on the look out for acts of kindness and compassion this week. Pure love and kindness has been shown in abundance this week. It definitely makes our classroom a happier and a richer place for it. Thank you to Lena. There have been so many times this week when you have gone out of your way to help someone in class. Thank you for all that you do!
