Those of you who were absent last week need to accept invites to new groups.

Today, all Y6 children have been given their PE kits to take home, along with additional work booklets and things to use at home during closure. The homework CGP books and test papers should not be used unless instructed to do so. However, those children who have been working with additional 10 minute test books in the morning are welcome to use these at their leisure. Those children who are currently not in school will be able to collect their things from the school playground at 1:30pm tomorrow. More information on home learning to follow.

Here is a summary of the topics that year six are studying this week.

English – This week, we have been focusing on SATs practice papers (reading and grammar, punctuation and spelling).

Maths – Mrs May’s group are continuing our topic of measurement and converting different units of measure while Mr Sallis’s group are continuing with their work on ratio. Children are encouraged to practise reasoning style questions in these areas.

Religious education – Our current topic is Eucharist. See our RE home learning page for the current topic’s key words and homework task. We have been designing stain glass windows with the theme of Unity.

History – El Salvador: Rio Acelhuate. How it changes from season to season.

Science – Our current topic is Light and how we see. This week we have been looking at reflection and refraction.

DT- We have started a new topic of Felt Phone covers. This week children have been designing their own front and back covers.

To access Google classroom, children will need to sign in using their school Google account.

Visit google.com and click ‘Sign in’ in the top-right of the webpage.

If you, or someone using the same device, already has a Google account, you will need to add your child’s school account and switch between them before accessing the Classroom.  

How to add Google accounts

1. Open the Chrome web browser.
2. On the top right, select your profile image or initial.
3. On the menu, choose Add account.
4. Follow the instructions to add your child’s Google account.
5. Children’s school Google usernames all end with the domain, @stadrians.herts.sch.uk
6. Your child should know the first part of their username and the password.
   For security, I cannot add that information here. It might be worth phoning a friend if in doubt!

Once you have, set up your child’s Google account. You may need to switch between accounts for them to access the Google Classroom.

How to switch between Google accounts

1. In the top right, click your profile photo or email address.
2. Click the account you want to use.
3. A new window will open for this account.
