Hi all,

Following on from our revision session on Thursday when we looked at shape, focussing particularly on circles, here is an activity for you to try to further consolidate your understanding on this topic:

I have linked some sites below for you to take a look at too:

These games should help you have fun whilst building your confidence so take some time and enjoy!

As always, if there's something you're finding tricky and want me to go over then just let me know.

SPaG homework 9.3.18

Hi all,

First of all I want to say a big well done- you worked your socks off this week for our mock SATs and the progress you are all making speaks volumes about your dedication and commitment to succeed- you'll all be secondary ready in no time!

Now is the time to reflect on how you did before pushing on- you are still capable of more. So- with that in mind- here is this week's SPaG homework activity mat. Remember- if you are unsure and would like/ need some support then just come to me.

Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you next week!

Last week's attendance...

Unfortunately, following our super attendance last month, last week it really suffered...
Last week's average total was only:

91.5%

We really cannot stress enough how important it is that you are in school everyday wherever possible and that you are on time- otherwise you miss sessions and miss learning.

We understand that last week's weather was less than ideal and caused delays but please can we work together and have a really big push to get our attendance up again. We are aiming to exceed 96%.

Come on 6SB- we can do it!

Thanks,

Testing week

Hi all,

Next week we will be completing a mock testing week in order to prepare pupils for test conditions when they get to SATs. This will be a good opportunity to assess how well they are applying the things they are learning and give us an idea of any areas that need further work.

As we encourage for the actual SATs tests, revision is a good idea.
Below is our intended timetable to help you target your revision before each test but we will remind pupils each day, especially if this structure changes.

Monday         * SPaG
                       * Maths arithmetic

Tuesday         * Reading
                       * Maths Paper 2 (reasoning)

Wednesday    *Maths Paper 3 (reasoning)

Make use of the resources available to you- revision guides you might have, activities/ links on the blog etc.- to help you revise.
I will do my best to update these more over the weekend- you will be able to find them under the tabs at the top of the blog, e.g. grammar, punctuation, spelling (please check them all for all areas of SPaG), maths, reading.

See you next week,

Spellings WC: 5.3.18

Hi all,

Here are next week's spelling words:

It was clear from this week's spelling test that the words we are focussing on each week are being learnt, BUT- the words that are letting some of us down are the words that are randomly selected from the core 5/6 spellings. We only choose 2 of these each week, but it is still important to still learn them. Figure out which words you can already spell confidently and accurately and then focus on the others. Try splitting them in to groups of 5 to focus on each week.

Good luck,

SPaG homework 2.3.18

Hi all,

Here is your SPaG homework for this week:

The following links might help you if you need to secure your understanding of what some of these things are, BUT there should be nothing new here.

If, after looking at these resources, you still don't understand something or want me to go over it with you then let me know on Monday.

Enjoy your weekend,

Maths homework 2.3.18

Hi all,

Here is your maths homework for the week. It's nothing new- you are literally drawing on the concepts we have been covering in class for the last couple of months, weeks and days.
As always, please record your answers in your homework book neatly (1 digit per square).

If you are unsure and want some support, just let me know and I will be more than happy to go through things with you. In the meantime though, these might help:
