Friday 12th September.

Dates to remember next week.

Monday 15th September - School Photos - No PE kit

Tuesday 16th and Thursday 18th September 8am - Sats Booster Lesson (Small snack and drink included for the children that attend) 

WOW! - What a great first week back we have had.  The children have been extremely focused and dedicated to their learning. I am so proud of each and every one of them.

In English we focused on a whole school text "In Our Hands" written by Lucy Farfort. We started the week by looking closely at the illustrations on the front cover and the children made informed predictions about what they believe the text will be about. On Wednesday the children had the chance to show off their artistic skills by painting the main character. On Thursday the children showed off their creative writing skills by writing an alternative introduction to the book, focusing on what the world would be like with no sound, and today they edited and published their work ready to go on display.

"Hackers" and "The Wild Robot" were the focus in our Reading lessons - exploring new vocabulary and word classes.

Place value knowledge was the focus in Maths. Refreshing our knowledge and securing the core skills. We have had an excellent start to year 6 and I am extremely proud of each and every member of Determination class.

WELCOME TO YEAR 6!

I am so happy to be teaching in year 6 again and we have a very exciting first week planned.

In English we will be focusing on a whole school text "In Our Hands" written by Lucy Farfort. We will start the week by looking closely at the illustrations on the front cover and the children will make some informed predictions about what they believe the text will be about. Later on in the week the children will have a chance to show off their creative skills by writing an alternative introduction to the book.

"Hackers" and "The Wild Robot" will be the focus in Reading - exploring new vocabulary and word classes.

Place value knowledge will be the focus in Maths, while in Science we will be exploring forces. During our Geography lesson we will be investigating and describing the layers of the Earth and drawing diagrams to show our understanding.

The class is ready and waiting and I look forward to seeing all of the children on Monday.
