Dear Parents and carers,

Happy New Year!

A short week but a good start to 2017.

We welcome Mrs Pearson to our teaching team. She is taking over Mrs Fleming’s classes in the morning and doing targeted small group work in the afternoon.

We are studying Stormbreaker as our text in English and the children are really enjoying it so far. It links with our topic on Spies and we are looking forward to some good quality home learning from the pyramid they have taken home today. This term they can choose to put their work into a folder rather than a school scrapbook if they wish. We will continue to look for good presentation as well as content, and expect the work to be in school every Friday.

We are looking forward to our trip to Beaulieu next Friday, which is also linked to our topic. Can we just remind you that permission slips are required, even if you have made a payment online. Also, the journey will take approximately an hour and a half, so, if needed, travel sickness pills should be taken in the morning. Any required for the afternoon should be provided in a named envelope.

If you happen to have any shoe boxes, could you please send them in for our Science project? Thank you.

This week we have been checking that children remember their spelling work from last term. Next week they will be getting a new spelling list, but could you please ensure that they continue to revise work they have already covered.

Next week in maths we will be applying multiplication and division to fractions and measures.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year Six team.
