So Year 6…How was your day at Chessington World of Adventures? What was the best ride? Did you conquer any fears whilst you were there?

The trip to Chessington is nearly upon us. Here are a few reminders about the trip:

The coach will be leaving the school on Tuesday at 8.00am.  Therefore, we need all the children to be in school by 7.40am. Mr Peplow and I will meet the children on the south playground. If you are helping out on this trip, please arrive at the same time.

 The children will need to bring a packed lunch and a drink with them.  Please note that if your child is entitled to a free school dinner, the school will provide a packed lunch for them that day. The school should have been informed if this is required.

  The children do not have to wear school uniform; however we ask that they come suitably dressed for a theme park with clothing appropriate to the weather conditions.  Please make sure that you check the forecast beforehand.  If the sun is shining, please ensure your child has sun cream on and a hat if possible.  The children will need to be wearing comfortable footwear as it is a long day and they will be doing lots of walking.  The children will be allowed spending money (maximum £10); however this must be kept in a purse/wallet and will be the responsibility of the children that day.  The children should not bring any eletronic equipment such as Ipad, Iphones etc.

We hope to arrive back at school by 7.00pm at the latest and ask that you collect your child from the North playground.  If we are running late for any reason then we will call the school as soon as possible. A message will be put up on the whiteboard to inform the parents.

We hope that this will be a fantastic day, celebrating all the achievements of the children in Year 6.

See you Tuesday at 7:40am. Early to bed on Monday! 🙂

What a fantastic week of performances! Mr Peplow and I have been so impressed with all of the year 6 children in the rehearsals leading up to the performance. Within days, the children had lremembered all of their lines and were thinking about props, set and costume designs. All of the children’s hard work really paid off this week.  We have had a fantastic week showing our play to the school and all of the children’s parents, family members and friends.

A special thank you for all of the help given to the children in the run up to the play with organising costumes and learning lines.  The children all looked the part in their costumes.

We hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did! Until the next time….

We had a great day out at Staunton Country Park! Here are some of the pictures from the day. 🙂

We have had a very successful week with our final SATs practise. We have been impressed by the children’s attitudes towards their tests and the commitment they have shown throughout the term.

We would like to provide children with the opportunity to continue with their revision over the holiday. We are going to send home some revision booklets for the children. These will consist of previous maths test questions for the children to work through during the week; 10 – 20 minutes daily is sufficient. We will also be sending home some spellings for the children to practise over the two weeks.

Here are a couple of recommended websites for further support and revision:

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Turner and Mr Peplow.

We are raising money for CAFOD.
Please send in a pair of old wellies and a small donation on Tuesday 22nd April. We will be decorating the wellies and planting seeds in them. The children will be able to take their wellies home and watch the flowers grow.

We have been enjoying our learning about the changes in Britain since the 1930’s. We started by looking at the Second World War and how people’s lives were affected throughout this time.  We experienced the best of the 1970’s and the 1980’s by looking at various sources and artefacts from those periods. We are looking forward to finding out more about the 1990’s after learning a popular dance from that decade. If you have any artefacts from the 1990’s, please bring them into school on Friday 24^th March 2014 to share with the class.
