February 2023: Important information for Year 6
Physical Education
Tuesday is PE day, children will need to bring their PE kit in to school on this day.
PE kit should consist of a navy or white t-shirt with navy/black shorts or tracksuit bottoms or leggings. Children will need pumps or trainers because we will be outside as much as possible.

Reading Books
Children can change their reading books on a Tuesday. If your child chooses a longer book, they may keep their reading book for two weeks, if needed. Please try to listen to your child reading for at least 10 minutes each day.

Spellings
Spelling tests take place every Friday and new spellings will be given out on the same day. If your child loses their spellings over the weekend, make sure that they ask for a new copy on Monday to allow as much time as possible for them to learn them.

Homework
Please practise times tables with your children so that know them by heart (that means they can answer the questions immediately without counting on their fingers!). Children should know all times tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of Year 4. Times tables are essential knowledge for the Year 6 SATs tests.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best wishes,
Miss Blackstone

Hobbit workshop

After the whole school watched a production of The Hobbit, Year 6 then got to have a special workshop with the actors where they learned about acting, staging and lights! It was great fun.

Stupendous sandals

As part of our DT work, we made Ancient Greek-style sandals. We had to draw, measure and cut pieces of material independently as well as joining the pieces using a running stitch and a blanket stitch.

Mexico madness!

As part of the fun of the World Cup, each class was assigned a team to support and Year 6 was given Mexico! We had an afternoon learning all about Mexico and even smashed a pinata!
