Happy Friday everyone!

We have had a busy week here in Year 5/6.

SATs Week

This week, children in Year 6 have completed their SATs tests.  They were tested in grammar, punctuation and spelling, reading and maths. They approached the tests with maturity and resilience and tried their absolute best. We are so proud of them.  

Isle of Wight

With SATs out of the way, we can now look forward to our trip to the Isle of Wight.  A letter was sent out this week, but here is a reminder of everything the children will need to bring with them.

LIST FOR THE ISLE OF WIGHT TRIP

• Trainers/shoes for the activities and trips
• Socks (must have ankle socks to wear on the activities)
• Underwear
• Nightwear
• T-shirts
• Jumpers/tracksuit tops (must have long sleeved tops for activities
• Tracksuit bottoms/combat type trousers for activities.  Jeans cannot be worn for activities, but can be brought for the afternoon/evening visits)
• Children to travel in clothing of their choice with sensible footwear for the Mary Rose visit

• Towels (don't give them your best ones!)
• Toiletries in a toiletry bag (no spray products e.g. deodorant, hair spray etc.  No hair gel, or make-up. This will be confiscated by the adults if children bring them)
• Small backpack for the offsite trips
• Insect repellent, lip balm (not coloured) and sun cream.
• Purse or wallet
• A keyring for their room key
• Sleeping bag
• Pillow
• A suitcase/holdall that they can carry/drag

MEDICATION

This needs to be given to Miss Wakefield on the Monday of departure.  Please put your child's name on the medication with instructions regarding when and how often it is to be administered.  All medication provided needs to be new, unopened bottles/packets.

EXTRA ITEMS TO BRING (these are optional)

Books/magazines/puzzle books

Card games e.g. Uno/Boggle!

Disposable cameras

NO ELECTRONIC GADGETS PLEASE.  THIS INCLUDES MOBILE PHONES, TABLETS, IPODS, HAND HELD GAMES AND KINDLES

NO SWEETS OR SNACKS.

SPENDING MONEY

The children have £20 which will be issued to them during the course of the week.

Please do not give your child any extra money as this will be unfair to others and will be confiscated by adults.

THANK YOU YEAR 5

Finally, we would like to say a big  thank you to Year 5, who have been so supportive of their peers this week.

They have adapted brilliantly to the change in timetable and learning in the hall rather than the classrooms. In addition to this, they have also worked hard undertaking their own assessments.   All staff who have worked with them have commented on how well-behaved they have been and how hard they have worked for them.  Well done Year 5 and thank you!

Homework

As the children have completed assessments this week, homework is spellings, which have been set on Spellingframe, and tables practice on TTRS. 

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!  

Mrs Devlin, Mrs Witherall, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Nottage
