Year 5/6 News

 Dear Parents/Carers


Year 6 Hoodies

As you may have seen on the school web site, our online shop for parents to purchase leavers hoodies for the children in year 6 is now open.  Please note that it will close on 15th May at 4pm.

Some parents have found the size guide on their web page tricky to decipher.  I agree that it is a little confusing.  Therefore, I have created a one sheet size guide which will hopefully be clearer.

If you would like to purchase a hoodie, please go to the following site and log in with the details below:

Shop URL: hoodies4schools.co.uk/order.html

Institution Name: Down Hall Primary

If you have any questions regarding hoodies, please email Miss Sharman using year5_6@downhallprimary.com


Year 5/6

This week, children had their individual and sibling photographs taken. In response to COVID restrictions, they were taken outside this year and look great!


Don't forget Monday is a bank holiday and that children and staff be enjoying a long weekend.

Enjoy!

Coming soon.....

 Dear Parents/Carers

For those of you who have a child in Year 6, please keep an eye on the blog, newsletter and Year 5/6 class page on our website.  All Secondary transition information will be shared with you as we get it.  

Also, Miss Sharman has been busy organising the hoodie order for this year.  Year 6 usually have them for the Isle of Wight, but even though the trip is not going ahead, you will still be able to order your child a school hoodie to keep as a memento of their time at Down Hall. An online shop will be opened for you to place your orders soon.  Details to follow.

All other leavers news will be shared with you as we have it.

Please remember that it is individual school photographs this Thursday (29th) information on this was share in this week's newsletter.  As usual, sibling photographs will also be taken.  COVID guidelines will be followed at all times as these take place.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 Dear Parents/Carers

This week, in Year 5 and 6, we have been writing stories.  We planned one as a class and wrote it together.  The children thoroughly enjoyed it.

In maths, we have been tackling worded problems and questions which require an explanation.

This is a very tricky part of the maths curriculum, but the children have risen to the challenge well.

We have been lucky with the weather today and have been able to spend some time outside this afternoon.  Unlike yesterday when Sapphire Class got caught in a hail storm and got rather wet.

Next week, we are looking forward to continuing with our story writing and will be working on our new science/DT project which we are sure your children will tell you all about.

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
