Welcome to the Year 6 Blog!

Important Information

SATs is done! This means that homework is done too!

We are still going to be working, catching up on missed writing, history, geography, computing, RE etc. But, none of these lessons require extra work at home. Please use your free time to catch up with the life you might have missed out on, when revising for SATs, over the last few weeks.

Enjoy :)

Our learning this week in Year 6

Writing

Now that SATs is finished, we can dive straight back into our writing, something which has been on hold for the last couple of weeks. We have been using the story 'Wonder' to write in an informal manner, adding thoughts and feelings into fabulous pieces of writing. Earlier in the week, we completed a modelled write, looking at August's visit to school for the first time. Yesterday and today, we have compeleted our independent write, using the exact seem scenario, but from August's mother's point of view.

They are not fully completed, or edited yet, but they are looking amazing!

Computing

We have been playing around with quizzes in computing, using a variety of methods to make quiz questions. I have answered questions on food, hobbies, sports, films, celebrities, Michael Jackson, and, most importantly, Charlie P (that was an eye-opening quiz indeed!

For now, we are just having a bit of a play on it, but after half term, we will be doing research into a subject, creating a quiz suitable for Y5... Let's see how they look!

Safeguarding - morning routine

If you are dropping off your child at the classroom door / KS2 entrance door and need to pass a message on to a member of staff please do so by speaking to the staff member who monitors the door in the morning. If you need to enter school for any other reason, adults can only enter the school building via the main school entrance and seek assistance from the school office team. If you are attending a meeting with a member of staff, you must sign in at the front desk as a visitor and have an ID lanyard.

Safeguarding - home time routine

At the end of each day, Y6 will line up on the playground football pitch. Each child will be dismissed individually, only when a member of staff has seen the adult who is collecting. If they are signed up for OSC, the children will need to be collected from the front office, so OSC can sign in, and sign out, the children they are expecting.

If you need to speak with the class teacher at the end of the day, please allow them to dismiss the class first.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school and children safe.

Safety in PE

We would like to remind all parents that for the safety of all children and following guidance from Chorley SSP, jewellery is not to be worn during PE. This includes earrings, bracelets and watches. All children will be asked to remove their jewellery at the start of every PE lesson. This will ensure their own safety during the lesson and the safety of others. If a child is unable to take out their own earrings, adults in school will not be able to do it for them. This will mean they will have to take another role in the lesson such as observing, coaching or officiating.

For this reason, if your child is not confident taking out earrings, please do not put them in on our PE days. This year, our PE lessons are on Tuesday and Friday, however we may also have extra lessons on other days throughout the year.

Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe.
