Football Carousel 

Once again, Year 6 have enjoyed a lesson with the Leeds United coaches. They have been sweating, breathing heavily and have been exercising until they dropped. One of our year 6 members said: “It was fun but hard work.”

Researching Artifacts

Today, we received a case of Ancient Egyptian artifacts. Using our key word searching skills, we found out some amazing facts. Why not ask your child what they discovered today?

Gangsta Granny

I am still waiting for more entries to the ‘Gangsta Granny’ competition.  You must be mad if you don’t want to see this on stage – get those entries handed in,  persuading me to give you a ticket.

As a generous offer, I am going to let you have until 04 July to get those entries to me.

I can’t wait to go – hope I can take you with me!

Football Olympics @ Wigton Moor

Some of our Year 5 class had a great time playing in the Olympic Football Festival today. 

Things didn’t always go our way but everyone remained positive, focused and resilient. 

It was great to see high levels of sportsmanship and respect from our children throughout the day – well done! 

The highlight came in our last match as we swept aside the opposition 4-0 and the sun broke through the clouds! 

Here’s some action shots:

Miss Hale, team manager for the day, summed up our efforts: “We fought valiantly throughout and spirits remained high. Despite some tough opposition, we still managed to win our final game. The sun even came out, too!”

This week’s Talk Time homework is due on Wednesday 29 June.

How do people I know use maths every day? 

We learn lots of maths at school and always try to relate it to real life. Children should speak to adults they know and find out how they use maths every day. Children might find out how an adult uses maths as part of their job or how they apply their maths knowledge around the house.

We will be discussing this next week so don’t forget to make a few notes to help inform your views.

The homework this week is talk time and is due in on Wednesday 29 June.

I can cope with an unexpected change.

The SEAL theme this half-term is Changes and as part of this we’re learning about unexpected changes.

Talk to your children about how changes can be both positive and negative but also that a change which appears negative could be positive – or at least have some positives. Children will need to be ready to deal with sudden or unexpected changes so also talk about strategies they can use to help cope with a change.

School Library

We’re always trying to promote a love of reading in school – especially in Year 6!

Today, we all went to the library to change our books. We scoured the shelves (which look great), chose a new book, sat down, chilled out and, most importantly, read!

We now all have a library book to be enjoying at home – including me!

You can help at home by:

• Encouraging your child to read their library book (and other books) at home
• Discussing your child’s book with them
• Talking about reading in general
• Reading with them and ask questions.
