Welcome back!

Following their two-week break, the Year 6 children fell straight back into their excellent learning behaviours and applied themselves to putting the finishing touches to their English and Maths skills. We have been impressed with the dedication shown, particularly of those children who completed and returned their Easter Maths booklet as well as making the most of the SATsBootcamp website to keep up with their reading and grammar skills. They have well and truly earned a three-day weekend!

HOMEWORK

The SATs are almost here and the children have all worked extremely hard up to this point.

For homework, we would like ALL children to use the SATsBootcamp website to keep their knowledge and skills in tip-top condition. The children will know specific areas of learning that they would like to feel more confident with – it is these topics that should be the focus for their home learning at this point in time.

Daily practice – little and often –  is best.

If you have any of the CGP books, these can also be used to ‘focus-in’ on weaker areas.

Wishing everyone a wonderful bank holiday weekend!

The Year 6 Team

The Year 6 children enjoyed a fantastic STEM day this week, employing all of their scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical skills to design and build a device capable of cleaning their classroom following a party. We are sure you will agree that we have some future ‘Dyson’s’ on our hands!

The design phase.

Sharing our thinking to help others.

Working it out.

Success!

A finished product!

We wish you all a very Happy Easter! Please encourage your children to complete their Easter Maths booklets, keep visiting SATSBootcamp on yearsix.co.uk  and keep pushing through the CGP booklets. They have worked incredibly hard over this term and doing this will keep their knowledge and skills ticking over – two weeks and three weekends is a long time to not be doing anything at this juncture.
