Here comes summer!

We had an amazing summer term and now the summer holidays are upon us.

I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you for making the end of year so fantastic.

As promised, Year 6s, your final projects are here.  Fingers crossed, they all work for you so you can show off your incredible achievements.  

Enjoy watching!

We have some lovely art and D&T projects - mosaic work and building a simple working catapult - to complete and, as always, there will be plenty of fabulous sporting opportunities.

Last Day of Term and School Year

Wednesday, 09th July

Although SATs are over, you still need to keep going with your homework.  SATs companion will help keep the different strands ticking over!

HOMEWORK:  Just the usual!

Expectations generally are:

• Reading - at least 3 times per week.  It doesn't have to be all night.  A minimum of 10 minutes will do it.  Reading comprehension cards are available to be taken home - one per week - and the swap with another child the following week. 
• Times table rock stars - keep your practice up so your speeds increase.  It's amazing how much time you can gain to work out maths questions when your recall of number facts is speedy and accurate.
• Spellings - no lists to learn at home; just rules/investigations/practising in class.  Be on the lookout when reading for words which match the rule of the fortnight, your own 'focus five' and practise them to boost your knowledge and understanding.
• SATs Companion - Try the practice sessions on a wide range of topics within maths, English and science as well as the set tasks.  You are expected to complete each task set!  Practice will increase your accuracy, speed and, most importantly, your confidence!

Here's to an amazing term of learning and activities.
