Last week was so busy with SATs and the End-of-SATS party, so here is a look at the some of the photos from last Friday night. The children had a great time!
This week, we have built electric toy cars in DT. Here are some of the children trying to figure it out - it wasn't an easy task! A big 'well done' to all the children who had a go with the DT.

This week, Year 6 have been busy revising for their SATs. They have carried on with the Big Grammar Revision Quiz which has covered everything from modal verbs and subordinate clauses to synonyms and antonyms. The children have also worked in pairs to complete a maths reasoning paper and they have discussed their techniques with each other.
I am so proud of this bunch of fantastic children. They have worked so hard on revising over the last couple of weeks and I know they will do just fine next week. Get some rest and see you Monday morning for sausage sandwiches before we begin!
Welcome Back!

Welcome back! I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break. This week, the children have been working hard revising for SATs. They have looked at many different areas of grammar this week and showing us their expertise! Also, they have revised percentages and fractions in maths. We are getting close to the SATs now and the children have been demonstrating a great attitude!
Also this week, away from SATs, we have started our new topic called 'Electricity'. The first half of the topic will focus on the science behind it and this week, the children learnt the scientific symbols for electrical components as well as investigating what impacts the brightness of a bulb. They also began to gain an understanding of voltage.
Finally, an appeal for parents to volunteer to create the Class 6 Year Book. Each year, we rely on the kindness of parent volunteers to create the year book and I would be incredibly grateful if one could step forward to begin arranging this. Please either pop and see me on the door in a morning or email me at class6@netherthongprimary.co.uk
Have a lovely long weekend!

It’s been a busy week in Class 6 as we have been doing our practice SATs. These SATs our extremely important as they are the last ones before the real ones. Mr. Kershaw said we did really well and that we are ready for May. In art this week we have been doing textured Jurassic paintings. We used different equipment to create different textures of the Jurassic period. Today we dressed up in yellow and blue to raise money for Ukraine. We also had an amazing bake sale (there were lots of delicious cakes! Photos below). It has been a fabulous last week this half term in Class 6 and we are excited for what is to come after Easter!
Happy Easter

This week in year six, we have been learning about an amazing palaeontologist called Mary Anning. Did you know the famous tongue twister, ‘she sells sea shells on the sea shore,’ was actually about Mary Anning? She, with her brother, were the first people to find a fossilised dinosaur called the Ichthyosarus. On Monday, Lily T brought in her unusual pet – a praying mantis – called Minnie. In science this week, we learnt about the meaning of natural selection, to do this we did an experiment using different equipment (pegs, tweezers, scissors and a tea spoon). We used these to see how easy it was to pick up grains of rice, this shows us that birds’ beaks have evolved over time by changing the way they eat. In art, we used different types of art textures involving sponges, toothpicks, paintbrushes (both ends) and of course our fingers, which we all enjoyed!
