Year 6

View our Year 6 Leavers Video here!

Before you check out our Home Learning Page for this week, why not have a look below at some of the fantastic work you have been sending in to us. 

Please send in more! We love seeing what you are all up to!

Art in Action

Thank you for some great home learning with Art over the past two weeks - here are some examples that you have sent in.

A Message From Mr Green

The Key Stage Two team and I all hope that you took some time to relax and just enjoy being over the Easter break,  although being together so much can also pose its own challenges too!

As we return to home learning this week some of you may be feeling a little overwhelmed again by the thought of educating your children. We would feel exactly the same if we were asked to do any of your jobs at the drop of a hat, with little time to train or prepare. Do not worry, it looks like we will be spending several more weeks at home and the learning posted on our website is not intended as a challenge for you to complete as we would at school but as a range of activities for you and your children to dip into over time.  We don't expect you to print everything off and have a record of work on the work sheets provided and we have tried to increase the number of open ended practical activities that can be completed away from a computer.

Make sure that you have fun exercising, and enjoying the magnificence of spring as it unfurls around us!

We will continue to update the website over time and should you have any questions or concerns please email your year group teachers who will be pleased to help.

Stay safe everyone!

Mr Green

Welcome to Year 6

Welcome to year 6! A wonderful year, with lots of imaginative learning and new adventure throughout the year. Year 6 Owls and Eagles will embark on journeys through The Houses of Parliament, travel in time to life in the trenches in World War 1, explore the great outdoors on our residential to Marle Hall and much much more. All of this, alongside preparations for our big step into high school, year 6 is sure to be a busy, busy year.

Spring Term 1

Year 6 Eagles and Owls Flashback Writing

Year 6 have been very busy writing flashback narratives based an animation which we have watched this week (click on the link below to watch). Flashbacks are a tool which children can use to enhance their narrative writing and are something which has been used in our class book, War Horse by Michael Morpurgo. Our next step is to write our own chapter for War Horse and to use a flashback within this chapter. In the meantime, have a look below at some of the flashbacks which children have written this week based on the animation.

Autumn Term 2

Transition between Year 6 and Year 7

Year 6 is a transitional year for your child, whereby, they will flourish into young people as they approach the next chapter in their life, secondary school. It is our intention to prepare your child for such changes and encourage their independence.  This term is all about settling your child into the routine, expectations of year 6 and the chance for them to take on wider responsibilities in school. We are encouraging as many children as possible to get involved.  If you have any questions with regard to planning for secondary school then do not hesitate to get in touch.  There are still various opening mornings to look around secondary schools so if you are planning to take your child out for one of these visits then please contact the office for the relevant absence form.  The closing date for secondary school applications is 31^st October 2019 for September 2020 intake.

As always, if you have any concerns or queries please do not hesitate to contact us via the school office, in the playground or a note in your child’s learning planner.  If you wish to speak to either us in detail then please make an appointment for after school.
