Dear Parents,

This week has seen a return to a more normal timetable – not a practice test paper in sight! However, lots of writing has been taking place in English as children continue to make noticeable progress with such things as complex sentences, subordinating conjunctions, adverbials and advanced punctuation. This week we retold a ‘twisted’ fairy tale and next week we will be writing one of our own.

In Maths, we have been reasoning and investigating in a variety of contexts. Hopefully, we will soon be applying our skills to calculating the potential profitability of our fundraising activities, designed to cover the costs of our production. The scripts and other resources for High School Musical Jr. arrived today; we have already had initial singing auditions and further auditions will take place next week. We aim to cast the main parts by the end of next week so that those children can start to familiarise themselves with the script and begin to learn lines.

After a very variable week, we were glad to see the sun shine today and give us the opportunity for a bit of extra time outside this afternoon after our photo session. We hope it continues and that you all have a happy and relaxing weekend. One more week of hard work before half term!

With best wishes,

The Year Six team.
