SAT Workshop – 12th February 6pm

All Year 6 parents are invited to a SAT workshop on Tuesday 12th February at 6pm.  At this session you will have the opportunity to find out more about the assessments and how we prepare the children.

6S Teacher

Mr Lambert has been offered a term’s work elsewhere therefore Mr Wilkinson will teach 6S for the next two weeks.

During this time if you need anything please approach Mr Wilkinson or a member of the Year 6 team.

Miss Sherry is due to return on Monday 28th January.

Homework

Please research and present information about the Tudors. It is up to you how you present your work, but we would love to put some on display to share with everyone in school.

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.

***/** 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!!
