Year 6 Christmas Party


On Wednesday afternoon, Year 6 children will be having their Christmas party. The children are welcome to bring their choice of comfortable clothing for the afternoon. As always, we ask the children to contribute to the party buffet by bringing in an item of food. Your child has volunteered to bring in a specific item(s) and they should have written this down in their homelink book as a reminder. Please can we remind you that we do have a severe nut allergy in Year 6 and therefore ask that no products containing nuts are bought into school. We also ask that there is no cheese or pineapple bought in as we also have children allergic to those items. If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher. Thanks in advance, the Year 6 team.

No spellings this week

All Year 3/4 spellings have been covered.
In the New Year, children will start to have different spellings. Some children are ready to move on to the Year 5/6 spellings but others need to secure these words and will repeat the Year 3/4 words.

Any queries please contact your class teacher.

Homework due 19th December

Read at least 3 times (per week) and ask an adult to sign your reading diary to confirm.

Complete the times table grid over the few evenings.

Complete the ordering fractions task – Questions 1-12 only ***/**

Complete the equivalent fractions activity *

Fractions help:

***/** Finding fractions halfway between fractions

If I have two numbers like 4 and 10, I can find a number right in the
middle of them by adding the numbers and dividing the sum by 2:

4 + 10 14
—— = — = 7
2 2

It works with fractions, too! (In fact, it works with _any_ numbers.)

So to find a fraction halfway between 1/3 and 1/2,

1/3 + 1/2 2/6 + 3/6 5/6
——— = ——— = — = 5/12
2 2 2

Only one week to go!!

Year 4 Christmas Party

Our Christmas party will be held on Thursday 20th December. The children will enjoy games and fun followed by some party food.

If it would be possible for you to contribute an item of food to be shared amongst the children, it will be greatly appreciated. Food items could include: crisps, cakes, savoury snacks, vegetarian snacks and bread sticks. The children will all be coming home with a letter and a reply slip. Please indicate what item you are able to contribute and send it back as soon as possible.

Thank you!

The Year 4 Team

Well done!

Thank you and well done to the Year 6 children who performed in church tonight.  You sang and read beautifully.  Thank you to the staff who organised this performance.

FLU SPRAY TOMORROW

The NHS are in school tomorrow offering the flu spray to children in Years 3, 4 and 5.  However they will only receive the spray if we have a completed permission form.

There are 75 children who have not sent a form into school; please note that if this is not received in the morning they will not get the flu spray.

Please collect a form from the office if you need one.

Christmas Play!

Please be aware that the Christmas play is on the 13th of December (tomorrow) not September.

We can’t wait for you to see it but September is a quite a while away!
