Our learning this week in Year 6
Maths - Place Value
We have started the year with a bang, looking at, writing and reading numbers up to 10,000,000.
We have also been introduced to our new best friend - Tiny the Turtle is following along with us in Maths, making silly mistakes which we have to fix. It would be frustrating if he weren't so cute!!
English
We have been doing a lot of reading skills this week, using the image of the front cover to make inferences, and using the blurb to make predictions. One thing we are definitely not short of in this class is imagination. Who would look at this book and automatically imagine an unescapable shop, one which you could enter, but never leave!
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.
Have a fantastic weekend!
