We had a fantastic morning at the new Thorne Memorial park on Friday. We were very proud to be the first school children to be invited to try out the fantastic new equipment and ride the train. If you visit be sure to look out for the friendship stones, fairy doors and bug hotels that we have left.
We had so much fun last week investigating all sorts of forces. We participated in lots of different experiments including air resistance, floating and sinking and gravity. We made parachutes and air powered rockets and tested out how much cargo our tin foil boats would carry. The children asked lots of ‘what if’ questions and we had held very scientific evaluations of the products we made.
I am very proud of you all Class 6!

After working super hard this term and accelerating our learning we managed to fit in a sneaky treat on Friday! We spotted Mr Pickles with the chicks from EYFS and managed to convince him to let us have a little peek! Well done my superstar phonics learners – I am so proud of how hard you have all been learning and we have seen some AMAZING progress! Keep up the hard work.
A huge well done to all of our winners this week. We had lots of boys celebrating HoWl points this week, some super stewards, fantastic mathematicians on numbots and tt rockstars, as well as our fantastic crew champions this week. It was great to hear about your craftsmanship and quality and the respect you have been showing.
Also, a huge well done to Crew Schon with 100% again…you are smashing it this term…well done!
Miss Schon’s Group: This week we have been doing our assessments. All children are doing great at remembering their phonics and reading words. Some children are struggling a little with their red words or reading fluency. Keep practising your reading at home as often as possible as we have been doing so well with our memory skills now we need to keep up the practise!
This week our sound is /ue/ Blue Glue
Miss Rodger’s Group: This week the children are learning the final split digraph sound /u-e/ huge cube. Next week the children will take part in their next assessment to see how they are progressing with their learning.
Miss Schon’s group have also been pre-learning all the split digraph sounds. Here is a video that explains how we read these sounds in a word.
Miss Cooper’s group: This week Miss Cooper’s group are learning the trig /ear/ – Near and Dear. This week Miss Cooper’s group will be taking part in their next assessment to check on their learning progress.
Well done to our superstars this week!
Today we are launching TT Rockstars with Year 1. You can download the app for children to create their avatar and explore the game. Please persevere with the game as the children may find it tricky at first and may need your help to work out the answers but please do not play the game for them as it contains an algorithm which will gradually introduce more and more questions as the children’s knowledge increases as well as helping them to embed the facts they already know. Children’s log-in details are the same as their Numbots log-in details and I have sent home a letter with a reminder of this. If you would like to find out more please watch these short information videos.
There is one for adults and one for children.
Any questions please drop me a message.
Have a lovely long weekend

This is a reminder that all children need to return their reading books to school tomorrow as Friday is a training day. Please help us by ensuring all children bring their books each week – even if they have not been read yet.
Unfortunately we are unable to allow children to keep Shared Reading books for an extra week. This is because all books need to be collected in as a set and returned to the reading room for the next group of children to use. If the book is not in school on book changing day this will prompt an email reminder from your child’s class teacher or phonics teacher.
If the book has not been returned by the following book changing day a fine of £3.50 per missing book will be added to your Parent Pay account on this day.
Thank You,
KS1 Team
SAVE THE DATE!!!!!
Class 6 Presentation of learning will take place on Thursday 27th March at 2pm. Children will be showcasing their skills of cutting, chopping, peeling and grating and will be earning their shrinky dink keyring charms in return for showcasing their skills! We can’t wait to show off our new talents and receive our shrinky dink products. We hope you can join us.
Keep a look out on the blog this week for what we will be getting up to in our science weeks. We are planning to inspire the children with scientific experiments and visitors with scientific professions! We are very excited to see what the children know already and what they learn!
