This morning has been wonderful in Nursery with Mr Kershaw. He set up a super camp site for us to enjoy and supported us in being safe around a camp fire to toast our marshmallows.
The children listened beautifully and were very safe. Mrs Burton and I are very proud of you.
Well done to this week’s Star Readers in Year 3 and 4 – Super effort!
This morning, Class 11 worked superbly well together so that they could find and then understand the features of a newspaper report, in preparation for our next set of writing. We looked into headlines, fronted adverbials and how we need to use facts to get the true story out there. We’ll be practising this in the coming days, especially the 5Ws when it comes to writing introductions!
Dear Year 6 Parents,
As we approach the end of the academic year, it’s time for our Year 6 students to undertake their SATs. SATs week starts on the 9th of May and finishes on the 12th of May. On these days, your child is welcome to come into school from 8:15 am (Y6 classrooms as normal). We will provide some breakfast options such as cereal bars to ensure they start their day well-fueled and ready to tackle the challenges ahead. It’s essential that they arrive on time to reduce any stress that they might experience from rushing.
We understand that this can be a stressful time for both students and parents, and we want to reassure you that we will be on hand to provide guidance and support throughout the week. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or questions.
We would also like to let you know that on the afternoon of the 12th of May (Friday), to acknowledge the hard work of our Year 6 students, we will be taking them to Morani’s ice cream parlour as a treat. The school will cover the cost of this treat, so you do not need to send any money.
We believe that it’s important to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our students, and this treat is just one small way of saying well done for their effort and commitment.
Thank you for your ongoing support. You will find a brief overview of the week below:
| Day | Assessment |
| Monday | Bank Holiday- School closed |
| Tuesday | Grammar, punctuation and spelling |
| Wednesday | Reading |
| Thursday | Arithmetic- maths paper 1 and Reasoning- maths paper 2 |
| Friday | Reasoning- maths paper 3 |
Best regards,
Mr C Mumby
