Year 6 Revision
Year 6, please use this PowerPoint to revise colons (:) and semi-colons (;) this week.
Library Visit
Today, we visited Wetherby Library. Madeleine, the librarian, showed us how to find books in the library and how books are organised. We have all chosen two books each to borrow for a few weeks.
Year 6 SATs Revision
It’s not long now until SATs week. Over the next few weeks, we will be revising so we’re fully prepared for the tests.
Here are some links so you can revise at home, too.
Year 2 and Year 6 assessments
The STA has published an information leaflet and two videos for parents/carers of children in Year 2 and Year 6 about national curriculum assessments. The purpose of these materials is to help you understand more about the end of key stage assessments that will be administered in primary schools in May. (The end of Key Stage 1 is Year 2; the end of Key Stage 2 is Year 6.)
The materials provide basic information about the purpose and format of the tests, how parents can best support their children and how results will be reported.
Eureka!
On Friday, we had a great trip to Eureka in Halifax. Here are the highlights!
Recycle Art
This afternoon, we’ve been getting messy and creative. We have been creating sculptures using recycling materials brought in from home. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished product next week.
A visit from some creepy crawlies…
Today, we had some interesting visitors in school. We had a fantastic hands-on experience of holding some wonderful creatures including giant snails, giant cockroaches and stick insects.
Church Visit
Today, we have visited St Joseph’s Church in Wetherby. Father Nunon showed us around the church and we asked lots of questions. We learnt about how forgiveness is portrayed within the Catholic faith and we explored similarities and differences between St Joseph’s Church and St James’ Church.
Great grammar games
Here are some good links to help revise some grammar and punctuation concepts that we have been learning in school.
Creative Homework
This week, Years 5 and 6 have been learning all about how to stay safe online. It was also a topic for their creative homework this week. Here are some fabulous creations they have brought into school.
