This power was most certainly evident in the Year 6 classroom this week… we are reminding ourselves daily that we hold this power, our inner strength, to do the best that we can, and as we remind the children daily, that their best is ALWAYS good enough. This week in class, the children have most certainly given just that… they have and I know they will continue to work incredibly hard. Their resilience and their whole attitude to their learning, makes us all so proud of them already. To us they have already achieved so much.

Revision and building confidence when approaching SAT’s style questions has been the driving force behind all of our learning this week. We have revised and have an even deeper knowledge of the different tenses and different types of determiners. In Maths we have looked at ratio and proportion and applied this some challenging puzzles, which Year 6 rose to with great determination! On top of this we have ensured our reading has continued, looking through past papers and the style of questioning. In PE this week, we worked on our athletic events: running, jumping and throwing. Art has been a big hit this week, we were stunned to see all the different types of fruits coming in yesterday! Here are a combination of photographs from last week’s Art sessions:

Continuing to learn…

We only have one more (short) week until SAT’s. It is vital over these two long weekends before it that children continue to revise and work towards their targets. I have set some papers to complete over the week for children to have a go at, but there are other areas that are unique to them as individuals that they know they also have to practice. Please have a look at the homework page and have the conversation with them to see how best to support them with their revision.

Leading Learners

Well done to Isabella and Harriet this week.

You are an absolute joy to teach Isabella! You are so focused in every single lesson and take such a calm and measured approach to your learning. We love how you get lost in each task and take it all in your stride, whilst still taking that determined approach to improve. You really are an inspiration- thank you.

Lena, you are so enthusiastic and curious in your approach to learning! You listen carefully, you believe in yourself and you always do you're best! I love how you are always fully engaged in lessons and bubbling with enthusiasm to join in! Because of this, you are curious, asking those all- important questions that make you see things from a different perspective!

Attentive and Discerning Butterflies

This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are attentive to the big and small things, and to the response of others. We will also be spotting children who are discerning, who listen to what God’s calls us to be. This week we thank James for being attentive and discerning.

This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:
