Last week's attendance...

Good news: Our attendance, once again, has increased from last week!

From 94.2 %we have crept even closer to the minimum 96% target... 
Last week we reached: 

95.8%

We are just 0.2% away from that target but we have the ability to reach even higher than that so let's make this week the week we do it! We had a fantastic start this morning with everyone in and on time (with reading books and logs)! 

Keep it up and I look forward to keeping you posted about our progress next week :) 

Thanks for your continued support everyone,

Spellings WC 30.4.18

Hi all,


A little disappointing this week on the spelling front I'm afraid...
We have now covered everything we need to in terms of spellings- looking at different rules, patterns, exceptions etc. but nobody got full marks every week so it's really important, now that we are revisiting them, that we take the time to learn the words that are provided as we are going to focus on the ones that caused us problems first time round!


Here are some links that might help you with this week's focus and there is a game below the spelling sheet that you might find quite fun (let me know if you struggle as I can give you clues)!

Maths homework 27.4.18

Hi all,


Please see below for this week's maths homework- some revision on angles as well as some arithmetic practise to keep the grey matter active!

We have focussed on revision of angles this week as well as strategies for reasoning questions so hopefully that should help you with these.

HOWEVER- if you need an extra refresher to make it all stick/ sink in, then here are some links to help you develop that understanding even further:

Reading homework 27.4.18

Take a look at this...

Have a listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxugyZCfuw 

Last week's reading homework caused some confusion for some of us unfortunately. No need to worry though- as long as we learn from our experiences they shouldn't continue to repeat themselves. It's really important we read the questions carefully, so bear that in mind with this week's RIC.

BONUS QUESTION:

How does the artist help you to understand the subject is in control?

Remember to:

• Consider what you need to understand in the question to be able to answer it- what do words mean?
• Look for the cues from the question to help you find the right part of the text to answer.
• Think about the marks available for each question and what you need to put in your answer to make sure you get them.
• Only use what you need to- don't waste time waffling!
• Check- does your response actually answers the question? Does any evidence you use match the point you're making?

If you need any help, come and talk to me and we can work through it together.

Enjoy,

Last week's attendance...

Okay... I have good news and I have bad news:


Good news: we have improved AGAIN upon our weekly attendance score from 93.1% last week to  94.2% this week!


Bad news: Ours was the lowest attendance out of the whole of KS2 (years 3-6) AND we're still below the 96% target 😢


Once again year 6- let's keep pushing this- In school. On time. Every day.
You have improved week on week so let's keep it as an improving trend!


Thanks for your continued support,

Maths homework 20.4.18

Hi all,

Here is your homework for this week. Remember- calculations should be neatly recorded, 1 digit per square, in your homework books with a ruler used for straight lines. If you have trouble accessing this, please make sure you come to one of us ASAP and we can get you a paper copy.

If you are struggling with anything or are in doubt over how to tackle any of these questions, please make sure you come and see us too so that we can go over it- we want you to feel confident in these questions as you will almost certainly come up again something similar in your SATs tests.
