Dear Parents/ Carers,
The children have worked exceptionally hard this week in their assessments. We have had a rollercoaster of emotions, so please see the following to give some ideas keeping our lovely Year 6's calm in the upcoming weeks:
SATs CLUB
Dear Parents,
As it is Parent Evening next Wednesday and Thursday, Booster club will not be running. After the Easter Holidays, we would like to open the club up to the year 6 children who received a letter for the final 3 Wednesday’s before the real SATs begin on 12th May. Please sign the return slip and send it back to your child’s teacher before the end of term.
Many thanks,
Mrs Hurley and Mrs Witherall
NASA
Next week, the children will be taught sessions all the way from NASA California. We are very lucky to be the only school in England to have this opportunity.
We need your help though - on the third day, we are doing a practical Wildfire Challenge. Please could you send in as much of the following as possible:
- cardboard (boxes/tubes/envelopes etc)
- plastic tubs or containers
- lids (from bottle or jars

Due to assessments this week, we would like you have a rest and enjoy some time with your family and friends. Should you still like to do anything, please see below for optional extras.
Please also ensure that your child is regularly:
- Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. All children have a Reading record to take home.
- Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. This week we are up to Spelling rule 58.
- TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details.
- This week's times table is: 11's
