We’ve been sharing stories!

We’ve been celebrating World Book Day this week with special assemblies where teachers have taken it in turns to share favourite stories or poems with the children in their key stage.

We hope that the stories we share will inspire the children to read on and read the books for themselves or find other stories by those authors.

We will list the books we have share on this page.

Monday

- Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, from Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl
Mrs Hayes (key stage one):
- Mrs Wobble the Waitress by Allan Ahlberg
- All Join In by Quentin Blake
Mr Hayes (key stage two):

Tuesday

Miss Costello (key stage two)

Wednesday

Mrs Ruffell (key stage one)

- ‘Infinity and Me’ written by Kate Hosford and illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska

Welcome to our first ‘Fluency Teaser ‘ of the year. Fluency is one of the key aims of the primary mathematics curriculum. Try the activity at the link below at home to give you lots of opportunities to recall addition and subtraction facts as well as some conjecturing and convincing too!

What will your strategy for winning be?

Hand in any examples of the work you complete to Mr Sallis or your class teacher so that we can choose some to share on our fluency blog!

Thank you!

A big, big thank you to all of the Y6 children and parents for your generous gifts, cards and kind words for Baby May. My husband and I are truly grateful. I have promised the children that I will bring her/him in to meet them at some point after Christmas.

I wish all of the Y6 children the best of luck for the rest of year.

God bless.

Mrs May

Art competition

An exciting competition is taking place across the county. The task is to:

Create a piece of artwork entitled ‘The Bread of Life’.

Encourage your child to think about what the blessed sacrament, the Eucharistic host, means to them and then create a piece of artwork reflecting their thoughts. The artwork needs to be A4 in size and can be created using any medium, including paint, collage or printing. Please label the back of the artwork with your child’s name and year group and return to your class teacher by 9th November.

Y6 Maths Workshop

Today we had visitors in from Explore Learning to complete different maths challenges. The children were engaged and enjoyed debating each other’s ideas about which method was best!

Y6 Parent Meeting

Parent ‘Meet the teacher’Download

It was so nice to see so many of you at the ‘Meet the teacher’ this morning. Please see above the presentation that was shared and includes key information about the year ahead, including diary dates.

Y6 New prayers

In year 6, we have introduced new morning and afternoon prayers. You will need to learn them off by heart.

Morning Prayer

The Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom His love entrusts me here,

ever this day be at my side,

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen.

End of Day Prayer

Lord, keep us safe this night,

and free from all our fears.

May angels guard us while we sleep,

until morning light appears.

As a school we are taking part in the Angelus, daily at 12pm. Please learn the words off by heart.

Y6 – Old and New

Class of 2018

I wanted to wish you all the best of luck for starting your new schools next week! I know you will all be brilliant and make your parents proud.

I also wanted to say a big, big thank you for your kind cards, gifts and words received at the end of last term – it meant a lot!

Good luck and God bless.

Class of 2019

Welcome to Y6!

I hope that you all enjoy the last few days of your holidays and are ready to start the new year refreshed and raring to go! A quick reminder about bags – we only have small lockers in Y6 which have to fit in your school and PE bags along with any extra-curricular sports bags you may have so I would encourage you to use a school book bag rather than a large backpack.

Science
For our first topic ‘Evolution and Inheritance’ I ask that all children bring in some photos for part of an investigation. I am looking for one photo of a parent when they were young and a photo of them now – children are welcome to bring in photos of both parents. If you do not have access to these, photos of grandparents are also fine. I would ask that the photos are of individuals rather than groups shots as they will be looking closely at facial features. The children will not be bringing these photos home as they will be analysed in their class books so can you please either send in photos that you don’t mind the children keeping, or photocopy/scanning photos (in colour if possible).

Children will need to have these in school by Monday 10th September.

See you all next week.
