Year 6 – Snow day activities

Good morning everyone,

Snow day! We hope you have a lovely day at home and are able to spend some time safely in the snow too. Below are some tasks we would like you to complete today in between your fun. These activities are all live on Google classroom for you too.
  • Access Read Theory/a read in your reading diary.
  • TTRS – remember we have a year 6 competition and the TTRS trophy this week!
  • Arithmetic practice via Maths bot – remember you can choose the type of questions you would like to practice more on. SATS – Key Stage 2 Arithmetic – Compact Version
If you would like to re-create our science experiment where we made blood and the different things found within it, you can find a link below. We would love to see your pictures if you do!
Lastly, as you know our Geography topic is Coasts. We would like you to pick a coastal area, such as Cromer in Norfolk, Southwold in Suffolk, or Fairbourne in Wales and create an information poster about it. You could do this on paper, or using the presentation slides on Google classroom.
  • Are they at risk of flooding?
  • What have they done to try to stop it?
  • What can people see and do in these places?
We would also love to see your snow pictures by sending them to the email below.

Y1-6 Parents’ Evenings w/c Monday 2nd December 2024

Y1-6 Parents’ Evenings Week Beginning Monday 2nd December 2024

To give parents and carers plenty of notice to book their child’s appointment, we will be sending out letters next week. Your child will be given a letter by their class teacher. Please fill out and return promptly. Please note that we are no longer using the online system and have reverted back to having paper letters. Our School Cloud subscription was over £1000 a year for a service we only used twice a year. Instead, we will use this money to continue to subsidise for trips and visits.

Y6 Height & Weight Checks

Please see attached information regarding Height & Weight checks for Year 6 that are booked in school for Wednesday 20th November.

Withdrawal forms will go home today that need to be returned to school by Friday 15th November if you do not wish for your child to have the check.

Forms only need returning if you want to withdraw your child from the check.

After School Sports clubs – next half term (Y1-6)

Monday – Basketball & Netball

Tuesday – Gymnastics & KS1 Football

Wednesday – Badminton

Thursday – KS2 Football & Top Hat

Friday – Dodgeball & KS2 Football

Parents Evenings

Reception’s parents’ evening is the week beginning Monday 11th November. Paper letters were sent home last week with the children. If you haven’t filled in the form please do so and return to your child’s teacher.

Y1-6 parent’s evenings will be during the week beginning Monday 2nd December. Please note that we have reverted back to our old system for arranging appointments. For the last couple of years, we have used an online booking system. This system came with an annual subscription of £1,000, which was used only twice a year. Due to tighter budgets this year, we have decided to move back to our old system (paper letters) and put the £1,000 towards subsidising for trips and visits.

 

Many thanks

Applying for Secondary School place for 2025

Deadline for applying for your child’s secondary school place is Thursday 31st October 2024.

Please note: Parents can submit up to four preference schools on their application and we encourage parents to apply for more than one school as, if we are unable to offer their preferred school they may be allocated a school that is some distance away if their catchment school is already full.  Each year we do see a lot of applications that have only one preference which can lead to a lot of disappointment when allocated a school some distance from their home address.
