6J Guided Reading – Making powerpoints

As part of our final lesson in Guided Reading, 6J were tasked with creating an information powerpoint explaining all about parkour/free running which was the main theme in our recent book: Jump by Ann Evans.

The children really enjoyed using the laptops to research information and learned a lot about how to present information in an appealing fashion.

Mr J was very impressed with their hard work and attitude toward this lesson! Well done 6J!

Before School Reminder – Yr 6

Please can we ask that Yr 6 children do not regularly arrive at school before 08:30am.

Children are unsupervised before 08:45am and there have been a number of children arriving at school well before this time.

Following a number of incidents this week, the children have been reminded that they are not to stand on the driveway for their own safety as this is used by cars right up until 08:30am. The areas for standing are clearly indicated by cones and we ask that children remain within these areas at all times.

Thank you.

6J will be in Beech’s Base on Wednesday 10th January 2024.

Children are welcome to come to school in their forest clothes and bring a spare change with them if they wish. Alternatively, they can also attend in uniform and change into their forest clothes at lunch time.

This week they will be making their own trebuchets using natural materials as part of their work on The Tudors.

Please be advised, the field/forest has been affected by the recent weather, so children are told they must bring wellies with them as trainers would not be suitable.
