Year 6 Weekly Blog ‘Autumn tells is the season that teaches us that change can be beautiful’

I can’t believe we have come to the end of our first half term in Year 6! It has gone by so quick, but what a start Year 6 have made. They have all grown so much in the last few weeks, developing their independence and reflecting on the areas they know they need to wok on- we couldn’t be more prouder of them. Make sure they get lots of rest this short break, so that they are ready and raring to go for another busy, run-up to Christmas. It has been so lovely to talk to you all at the parent’s meetings, celebrating the successes of each one of them.

We had a lovely start to the week by celebrating the Harvest mass together at church. The children read so beautifully, thank you Year 6 readers. Such an important time to reflect on how lucky we are and pray for those who need our help. On Tuesday was our termly e-safety days. Now, more than ever, is it important to educate our children on how to use the internet and devices safely and appropriately. During the day we looked at the safety icons during gaming, how to identify the benefits but also the risk elements when using devices. We also looked at digital footprints, looking at how and why people use their information online to create a visual image and what appropriate online behaviour looks like. We will be looking at this in more detail after half term.

This week in our Kidsafe lesson, it fit perfectly in to our online safety learning. We learnt all about what we should do if we ever see an inappropriate image or content online. Please read the letter for further information…

Bikeability

Year 6’s ‘Bikeability’ training is set to start the first day back after half term (Monday 31st October) and then again the following Monday (Monday 7th November). Please remember to send your children in to school with their bikes, where they are able to keep them in our school’s bike rack, as you come in the school gates on Kenilworth Road. All Year 6 children with their bikes may come through this entrance on these days. Please note, that we will not be able to keep bikes here over night.

The first morning of their training will take place on the school playground, where they will complete level 1 of their ‘Bikeability’ course. Following assessment, only those that pass this level will progress on to the next stage in the afternoon and then the following week, where they will continue their training on the roads around the school. This gives you enough time to get those bikes out and get practicing in preparation for after half term. This will also be part of the children’s homework over half term.

Year 1 Homework 20.10.22

Thank you for all of your hard work this half term.

The homework for half term is to practise your lines, they are in your child’s reading folder and I have highlighted the lines they need to practise some are whole class lines and some are individual.

We have been practising the songs so they should know the actions to share with you.

Please continue with Maths IXL, I am happy for you to go on other games if your child has completed ones that have been set previously. Please continue to read lots at home, every child has two new books to enjoy over half term and we can’t wait to hear about all the lovely stories you have read together.

We are so sorry we didn’t get chance to do our spellings this week but keep practising them and we will do them together after half term.

Thank you,

Miss Drummond

Year 1 Weekly Blog 20.10.22

It was a lovely start to the week, we celebrated the Harvest Mass together at church. The children sat and sang so beautifully and it was wonderful to see some of our food donations on the altar. Afterwards, we thought about those in our community who may need our help and reflected on how lucky we were to have lovely food.

Thank you to all the parents who joined me on Monday for Parent’s Day it was lovely to discuss how well the children and doing in school and the progress they are making. They have all setting in really well and we are enjoying our learning.

We have been Kiki Chameleons in English this week by creating our own story maps for Supertato. We then retold the story using our story map and made up our own actions. Didn’t we do a great job!

In Maths we have made groups of ten with lolly sticks and introduced doubling numbers up to 10, we played a dice game where we rolled the dice, drew the correct amount of dots in two boxes and worked out the double.

 During our KidSafe lesson this week, we learnt about the word bullying and what it means. We used the acronym S.T.O.P. to help us to understand that bullying is when something happens Several Times On Purpose and they now know what to do if they ever feel they are being bullied and have those yukky feelings in their bodies. Please read the letter below to find out more.

Kid Safe Session 2

 I can’t believe that we have reached the end of our first half term already.

The children have worked very hard and have settled in well, they have particularly  enjoyed our topic Supertato and it has been wonderful to see all of their hard work at home. I am looking forward to our next half term and our Class Assembly and our Nativity performance.
