Snow Day Activities!

Good morning Year 6,

How exciting to wake up to all of the lovely snow; we do hope that you enjoy playing in it and making lots of fantastic snowmen – this could be your PE lesson for the day! We would love to see pictures of your snowy adventures so do send them to the year 6 inbox: newdale.year6team@taw.org.uk.

Here are some suggested activities that you may wish to do today while enjoying a hot chocolate :-)

Read Theory – use your login details to access your reading comprehension questions and write a comment in your reading diary.

Go on TTRS or Hit the Button to practise your multiplication facts. Have a go at creating your own long multiplication questions as an extension.

Arithmetic – the arithmetic paper that we were going to complete in class this morning is now live on Google Classroom. How many can you complete in 30 minutes?

Tell your adult all about our first lesson on how Crime and Punishment has changed through the ages and make a fact file recording our learning on this topic so far. If you wish to, you could begin to research further on crime and punishment during Roman times, as we will be focussing on this next lesson.

You will also see a link in relation to Aretha Franklin on Google Classroom. In music, we are going to be learning about inspirational women in music and Aretha Franklin is the first artist we will focus on. If you would like to, you can follow the link and make a fact file all about Aretha Franklin.

These are optional tasks and we will be covering them in lessons when we return to school so do not worry if you are not able to complete them.

We know life and work continues for parents so complete what you can with no pressure.

Most importantly, stay safe and enjoy the snow.

Have a great weekend,
Mrs Arthurs and Mrs Stack

Free School Meals

Many of our families are already benefiting from applying for Free School Meals, and we encourage you to check whether you may also be eligible.

It is a common misconception that Free School Meals are only linked to school dinners — there is so much more to it. If you qualify, your child is also entitled to reduced prices for school trips, breakfast club, and after‑school clubs. In addition, there are a range of other forms of support your child may receive, both at home and in school, to help them with their learning and wellbeing.

Families with children from Reception to Year 6 can apply for Free School Meals if they receive certain benefits and have an annual income of £16,190 or below.

To find out more or to apply, please follow the link below to the Telford & Wrekin website, where you can access further information and download the application form. Alternatively, our school office team will be happy to support you with the application process.

Year 6 Spring Term

There will be changes to PE days for the Spring Term.

Tuesday afternoon – athletics (outdoor)
Friday afternoon – Crossbar (outdoor)

Please remember to wear correct PE kit. A reminder that on the first week back Mrs Arthurs’ class will have their swimming assessment on the Tuesday afternoon and will need to bring their swimming kit. We require your consent to take children and this can be found on ParentPay.

Please also consult ParentPay regarding our planned trip to Shrewsbury Prison on 29th January.

Homework has been stuck in today, but this is for the first week back and does not need to be completed over the holiday.

The whole Year 6 team would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mrs Stack’s Quizmas winner!

Well done to Meadow and her family, who were the Quizmas winners in Mrs Stack’s class. It was an extremely close run contest which was decided on the correct wording of the film “A Boy Called Christmas”.

Enjoy your biscuits Meadow!
