Well done guys – you have blown me away this week with you hard-work and determination. I can already see that you are improving your arithmetic skills and also your understanding of how to tackle questions on the reasoning papers. Keep it up – you are all shining stars!

This morning Year 6 had a visit from Greg, a quantity surveyor. He told them all about the work he does and the skills he needs. Over the years, Greg has set up his own businesses; he got the children to think about what they enjoy and how this could be turned into a business idea. There were some fantastic ideas and we definitely have some budding entrepreneurs!
This week at arts and craft club, we continued with the theme of Easter. They showed real perseverance with something that looks quite simple but was actually really fiddly when it came to getting everything to stay stuck together! Well done guys – a fab club as always!

On Friday, at Arts and Craft Club, we had a fantastic time creating 3D pop-up Easter chick cards. I was very impressed with Oscar who worked so hard to complete his image of Captain Tom Moore from the Little People, Big Dreams book series.
Well done everyone – we will continue with more Easter crafts next Friday. Mrs Jackson x
Happy Red Nose Day! It is great to see so many of you dressed in red to show your support today. Thank you for all your generous donations. The school council have one last challenge for you! Over the weekend, we wonder how many different red things you can find.
You could have a look around your house or even venture outside on a walk. Count how many different red things you can find to share with your crew on Monday. You could even take some pictures or draw what you can see.

In the SATs, children will be tested on spelling rules for Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. Below you will find an outline of each of the spelling rules, as well as words that meet the criteria of the rule. Across school, each week we focus on teaching and practicing a different spelling rule or pattern during English lessons. In the run up to SATs, each week the children will be bringing home a list of words to practice and support their preparation for their spelling SATs paper; these words will cover a mixture of the patterns and rules as will be experienced on the test. Please support your child by encouraging them to practice at home.
