A new year of sport...

Sport is a huge part of Our Ladys. Not only taking part in the physical aspect of it but the lessons that we learn alongside it. Next week we will be relaunching football and netball training for our Year 5 and 6 children, alongside dance. Fixtures will be agreed by the primary schools next week, once this has happened, I will produce a full timetable of extra-curricular opportunities for this half term.

Once your child has signed up, there will be a code of conduct for them to sign so that everyone is on the same page with expectations moving forward. Forms to sign up are on the Year 5 & 6 class pages, but can also be found here too.

For the children in the younger years, do not worry. Over the year you will have clubs that are run just for you too! Keep an eye on the website.

REMEMBER TO ACCESS ALL OF THE VIRTUAL SUPPORT ON ‘HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD’

Year 6 Weekly Home Learning - Wednesday 30th March 2022

With just 5 and a half weeks until the end of year assessments, we have ramped up learning in class. The children are very clear about what they need to do and the areas that they need to develop. I have updated the ‘How to Help Your Child’ button on the Year 6 page. There are lots of resources for the children to access as well as the revision boxes that are in the classroom.

Maths - Please complete the reasoning paper that I sent you home for homework. There is a good mixture of questions in the booklet that will challenge your reasoning. Read the question carefully!

GPS - Have a go at the GPS paper that I have sent you home for homework. I will also be giving you a random spelling test based on the spelling rules that I sent you home in your revision folders.

Geography - Edinburgh

Imagine that you have visited Edinburgh for the weekend. Write a postcard back home telling them about all of the wonderful things that you have been up to!

Year 6 Weekly Blog - 'Listen to Jesus and follow Him. That is the true message of the Transfiguration.'

After a week of quietness and absence, our class family has slowly and surely regenerated. Thankfully, we are all now back in class and back to full health. It has made us all realise just how important our time together is and when people are missing, it affects us all. Thank to you all for being so careful and for following guidance. You have kept us all as safe as you possibly could.

Year 6 Home Learning - Wednesday 16th March - REVISION

Message to Parents

This year really is flying! The children are being asked to work incredibly hard in class and our pace of learning is incredible. As always, the children are rising to every challenge that they are being set.

After this week, we have 7 weeks until our assessment week. Maintaining a balanced curriculum is really important to me. They have to experience learning in all of the other subjects as well as the increased focus on maths and english. There has been huge progress made in these areas because the children are so motivated and determined to do well. Each morning, children visit the revision boxes in the classroom and help themselves to the resources that they know they will need to consolidate in each subject area. The revision folders that the children have should be now bursting with material.

Intrinsic motivation and the children being determined to succeed will inevitably lead to their success. Effort breeds success.

Please do get in touch if you need any more support. I had so many conversations with you at the book look in the hall and parents’ evening - your constant support is appreciated!

REVISION WEEK

Next week you will be taking your next set of papers in the run up to SATs. I have absolutely no doubt that you will make progress due to the effort and work that you are putting into your class work.

SPELLING - Revise all of your spellings from your spelling book. Which words are you finding tricky? Is there a particular rule?

GPS - You have two short papers to work through at home. Are you comfortable with all concepts? What could you research further? Could you use IXL for further consolidation?

MATHS - I have given you an arithmetic paper (this is where you can increase your scores) and you should have chosen an extra area of maths. I have added White Rose Home Learning to the button below. You can watch videos to help you in any area of maths that you are not sure about.

READING - Have a look at previous papers…where have you lost marks?
