Year 5/6 Blog Post 11.10.24


We are once again back to another Friday.

As the weather is continuing to cool and provide us with free showers, could we please request that you provide the children with suitable school uniform and added layers for when we go out to play and learn.  We have had much fun in our learning again this week, so please take a look at our newsletter for some updates and photos.


YEAR SIX PARENT MEETING

A big thank you to all of the parents that attended the Year 6 parent meeting yesterday. It was great to see you all. Remember if you have any questions from the meeting, please feel free to send a message over dojo and we will get back to you as soon as we can.



Science Day! Thursday 10th October
On Thursday, the children had a great time learning all about Science through experiments. There are pictures that we have taken from the day which we will share with you in next week's newsletter.




Year 5 Danbury Residential

We hope that the Year 5s are excited for the Danbury residential trip next week. Just a quick reminder to look over the kit list that was sent home to ensure your children remember to bring all of the required items. Please remember to bring the children's lunch in a disposable bag where possible for the first day and any medication labelled in a box if required. We will do our best to get images on the school's Instagram during the trip.

  • 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.
  • Times table practise - next week we are looking at 8’s. Please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down.
  • TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details or message your class teacher using Dojo

We hope that you have a wonderful weekend
