Year 6 Writing Club

My apologies I didn’t get to speak to Mr Moody before the school newsletter was published but writing club has now finished for the school year.

I want to say well done to the children.

Reminder of homework due Monday 24th

Reminder about homework due on Monday 24th June.

Children need to research local and national news stories, making notes in their homework books.

We will be completing the newspaper reports in class during the week.

Children are still expected to read at least 3 times per week and record all reading in their reading record.

London Day 2

Pictures show our walk to Downing Street and our workshop at the natural history museum. The children got to handle authentic fossils and use modern day scientific technology to study the artefacts. A great experience for them.

London Day 2

Another wet but even more wonderful day in London for the year 6 children. Today we have taken a river cruise along The Thames, completed the royal walk – including witnessing the changing of the guards – visited the fantastic attractions at The National History Museum, had our evening meal at The Rainforest Cafe before the children watched The Lion King at the theatre. The rain certainly didn’t deter the children, they have loved every minute of their second day! More photos to follow.

Yr6 homework due 24.06.19

Literacy the week beginning 24th June will be the completion of work based around journalistic writing. We are entering children’s work in to the Rotary Club competition as part of the Newport Show.

Can all Year 6 children research current news stories in local and national newspapers?

They need to have key facts that explore news stories that interest them, covering a range of topics: sport, environment, local issues, wildlife, agriculture, politics, fashion, music, arts or drama.

Children will be expected to create a whole front page, applying all newspaper report features and ensuring that they create an engaging front cover.

Children are only required to research stories as all written work will be completed in class.
