Class 6
Week 5
admin on: Class 6
Morning all,
The spellings are the same as last week - please ask your child how they did and if they need help. There are activities on Spelling Shed for them to use.
We won the KS2 Mathletics trophy last week, with 8 children getting a bronze certificate - fantastic! This week the activities are based around calculations and should be completed by Monday 12th.
Thank you again for supporting your child with Teams - these activities are not compulsory, but they do help with the curriculum content and the children are rewarded with house points for effort.
This week, we will be embarking on a Kings and Queens project. I've also promised a small gift for the winning child/pair/team of three. Ask your child about the task.
Thanks, as always for your support,
Mr C and Mrs J
Fab and fun Friday!

Friday 2nd October 2020
We have had a busy few weeks on a Friday with myself in year 6!
In computing, we have been looking at how to keep safe online, how we leave digital footprints and have begun to look at networks. We have found out the difference between the internet and World Wide Web, and researched Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web.
In music, we have been exploring how to make music through the use of technology. We started by using Quickbeats from Charanga and have progressed to use Launchpad. These applications use synthesised sounds on loops to create a piece of music. What great composers we have in this class! If you would like to have a go at home with these applications, please click on the link below for Launchpad and use your Charanga login for Quickbeats...
In RE, we have been looking how we show commitment and what values are important to us. In groups, we debated where we would rank different values like kindness and generosity.
Have a lovely weekend!

Evening all,
I have set up another assignment on Teams, to give us all some practice.
Please let us know if you have any technological (or any) difficulties.
Thanks for your support,

Spellings & Speed Tables
admin on: Class 6
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Thursday) is spellings and speed tables day.
If you get chance to test your child on either, or both tonight, that would be great. We have noticed that a few children in the class are struggling with 6, 7 and 8x tables - I'm not sure if that it down to the lockdown and practice - and we are considering putting some interventions in place to help.
Thanks for your support,
Mr C
Week 4
admin on: Class 6
Good Morning all,
It's week 4 and my coat doesn't seem warm enough!
The spellings are the same as last week. Please ask your child how they did in Thursday's test. Full marks gets a house point, full marks for the second week also gets three house points - it's all to play for!
All the spellings are on Spelling Shed, with activities to help.
Mathletics for this week is rounding, prime vs composite numbers and adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers. These all back up what we are doing in class. If your child is struggling to do this at home for some reason, I will give them access to a laptop during their lunch time.
Well done to those who engaged with the Microsoft Teams homework at the weekend - they have all been given house points! This looks like being the way forward, so please get in touch if you need any help with this.
Thanks for your support,
Mr C & Mrs J
