Snow day – Year 6

Good morning Year 6!

As you will have seen, school is not open today. Instead, we will be posting tasks for you on Google Classroom. These will go live at 9am and your login will be in your reading diary. Please feel free to access Read Theory and TTRS as well – we have set up a battle in Year 6 from 8.30am to 3.10pm today!

If you have any issues accessing, please let us know via newdale.year6team@taw.org.uk

We would love to see some pictures of what you get up to as well!

Enjoy your day and make the most of the snow!

Mr McFarland and Miss Jones.

Year 6 Thursday afternoon

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your cooperation this afternoon.

At home, the children can continue to work on their homework (we have given them their homework for next week as well). They could also access TTRS and Read Theory.

Below is a website which is great for the children to practice their Arithmetic. It will automatically mark and generate a score for the children.

Thank you,

The Year 6 team.

Arthog Reminders

Dear Parents/Carers,

Our visit to Arthog is fast approach and we hope your child is looking forward to it as much as we are!

Please can all year 6 children arrive at the assembly hall doors on Monday 10th October at the usual time. Staff will be at the main school gates for the children to leave their luggage rather than bring it up to school. Please try to avoid blocking any main paths with the luggage.

A polite reminder that all medication and the £10 tuck shop money should be handed into the school office by this Friday (7th October), unless essential medication is needed over the weekend.

Please ensure children bring a packed lunch with them on Monday as this will not be provided and they will be able to eat once we arrive at Arthog, before starting their activities.

If your child gets travel sick, we recommend they have an anti-sickness tablet before school and bring a plastic bag with them, should they need it. We will ensure any child prone to travel sickness is sat at the front with staff and a friend.

We will keep you updated via the school website regarding our arrival time on Friday 14th, but we aim to be back in school for 3.10pm, however this may change depending on traffic.

Thank you for your continued support and co-operation.

Mr McFarland and Miss Jones.

Year 6 Nature Walk

Dear Parents/Carers,

Year 6 will be going on their nature walk next Wednesday, 14th September as part of our new science topic – Living things and their habitats.

Please ensure your child comes to school with weather appropriate clothing and footwear and a hat if the weather is warm, as they will be changing into this after lunch time.

Thank you,

Miss Jones and Mr McFarland.

SATs 2022 information for parents

Year 6 SATs Revision

Dear Parents/Carers,

A number of resources have now been uploaded onto Google Classroom to support your child with additional revision in preparation for SATs week, which is the week commencing 9th May 2022. These resources include support for Spelling, Reading and Maths.

Please encourage your child to access these resources from now until SATs week, as well as to continue to complete their homework and access Read Theory when outside of school each week. These resources are a valuable revision tool for your child during the Easter holidays, should they wish to complete some additional preparation.

Thank you for your continued co-operation.

The Year 6 Team.

 

Year 6 Homework 14.12.20

Hi Year 6

Please find attached the homework for this week. If you can, this needs to be completed on Google Classroom. If you are struggling to do this, you can do the work directly into your homework books. This homework will be due in on the first day back after the Christmas holidays.

Autumn 2 Week 7

If you are using an ipad to log on to Google Classroom, please try going through the web browser rather than the app- you should then be able to log on and see the work. Once the work is there, by double tapping the boxes, you should be able to write in them.

Any problems, please speak to your class teacher.

Many thanks
