This week’s spellings are words to help your child when writing newspaper articles about natural distasters. They’ll be tested on Friday 13 June 2011. The children could try to think of or find any other ambitious vocabulary (we call these ‘Wow Words’) which they could use in their writing.

Your homework this week is Practice Makes Perfect.

I can solve a subtraction sum.

In class we are working on improving our subtraction skills.

I have given your child a subtraction activity sheet which needs to be completed by Wednesday 11 May.

SATs Week

The children will be taking their SATs next week from Monday to Thursday. Next week can you make sure the children come to school with a bottle of water every day and make sure they get enough sleep!

We’ll be running a SATs breakfast club from Monday to Thursday from 8.10 in the dining hall. As in previous years, a free healthy breakfast will be on offer for the Year 6 children.

All the children have worked very hard in their preparation and have a positive attitude to the week ahead. Well done children.

Spelling homework is again to read through previous SATs that you were given and learn the patterns of the spellings from two weeks ago. The spelling test is on Tuesday. Make sure you’re ready for then.

Homework this week is to get ready for the tests by reading through the following:

• study book
• important bits book
• Mr Roundtree’s maths revision booklet
• leaflets about writing genres

This will keep your ideas sharp and fresh for the tests next week.

2. can not                  can’t

3. is not                      isn’t

My family

LInking with our SEAL theme of Relationships, this is your opportunity to tell me and our class all about your family.

Ideas for what you could tell us about are:

• What  jobs do your parents or carers do?
• Were you or any members of your family born in a different country?
• Have you ever moved from a different part of the UK?
• Do you have any photographs or objects that you want to show the class?
• Can you teach us any words in a language that you or your family might use at home?
• If you were going to move to a different country, where would you go and why?
• Anything else that is interesting about your family!

I’ll look forward to finding out all about your families!
