Hi all,

This is the last full week before the end of term. There’s a few bits and pieces of information to pass on.

Monday 14th December – P6 will walk the short distance to a local care home (Pine Villa) to decorate their Christmas tree, which is outside, in their grounds. Children can wear Christmas hats/headgear if they so wish!

Tuesday – PE

Wednesday – Mandarin and Science

Thursday – Christmas Fun Afternoon – Children can wear a Christmas jumper on this day. Thanks to everyone who has already handed in £2 towards costs/ charitable donation.

Reminder: Christmas Cards can be posted in school Mon-Thursday.

***Term ends at 3:15pm on Tuesday 22nd December***

*** School resumes Wednesday 6th January 2021***

Thanks for your support,

Miss Brunt

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

 PE  – Tuesday and Thursday – Children should come to school dressed for PE outdoors please.

Spelling – as normal

Numeracy – Times tables practice.  This week, we’ll link measure activities with decimals work –converting cm to mms and cm to metres.  Lots of practical ‘hands on’ measuring to be done.

December Activities –

Christmas Cards – Children are now able to post Christmas cards to other pupils in school as we have a Covid friendly system in place. Envelopes should have names and classes written clearly on the front.

Christmas Song – P6 chose ‘Walking in a Winter Wonderland’ to perform and film.

Christmas Activity Afternoon – Wear a Christmas jumper! Thursday 17^th December. This costs£2  and covers food, prizes and a charitable donation. Thank you.

Pantos – We have two online Pantos to watch this year. We will watch the Brunton Theatre ‘Rapunzel’ performance this Thursday.

Mandarin – Children were so pleased to welcome back Miss Sun to teach Mandarin on Wednesday. Last week saw revision of greetings and numbers followed by a look at the Beijing Opera. Mandarin will continue on Wednesdays from now on.

Science – Again, children have been very enthusiastic, putting thoughts and ideas into practice with Mrs Cumming. Recently, we have been developing, testing and improving planes with ‘O’ wings. This has also allowed children to put maths into practice; measuring time, distance and ultimately working out speeds.

That’s all for now,

Miss Brunt

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

Space Presentations

We had our first presentations last week and I have to say I am so impressed with each pair and individual who presented their talk on Space. Some of the graphics ,models and animations used to support what was being said were amazing.

Here’s the rota for this week. Everyone gets a practice beforehand.

Monday 30^th – CK

Tuesday 1^st Dec – OC

Wednesday 2^nd – CG & EvT

Thursday 3^rd – Emc & LC ; IG

Friday 4^th – EW & AR ; EH & CL

PE  – Tuesday and Thursday

 We may be able to get another PE slot soon ( indoors) but children will still need to come to school ready dressed. Info to follow once a hall time has been confirmed. Our 2nd slot will now be on Thursdays, starting this week!

Spelling – as normal

Numeracy – Times tables practice. This week , in class we are continuing to revise decimal numbers and fractions.  We’ll also be revising telling the time ( analogue, digital and 24hour clock)

This week, we’ll link measure activities into decimals work and  make comparisons between imperial and metric systems.

December activities – We started to chat about what’s coming up in December and hopefully a newsletter will come home soon with all the dates and times of events.

A quick summary:

Every child received a letter regarding our filming of a Christmas song in school. This year every class has chosen a Christmas song and we will be filming us lip syncing or using sign language along with the song. This letter must be initialled against every statement and signed by Monday 7th December, if you wish for your child to take part. If this letter is not returned or filled out then your child will not be taking part. 

Christmas Cards – Soon, children will be able to post Christmas cards to other pupils in school – we have a Covid friendly system in place. *** The post box is now ready! ***

Christmas Party – Children can wear a Christmas jumper this day rather than bring party clothes to change into. Each class will have a separate time slot in a hall for games but most of the fun will happen in the classroom.  Date to be confirmed. Cost £2 (This covers food, prizes and a charity donation).

Pantos – We have two online Pantos to watch this year. One is from the Brunton Theatre.

That’s all for now,

Miss Brunt

Children in Need

A huge thank you to P6 for being absolutely fabulous on Friday, presenting a short assembly to the whole campus via Zoom – our first time! I am so proud of each and every pupil. Not only that, the donations that came in on Friday added up to over £325!

Space Presentations 

Last week, all children had access to a computer to work on their pupil talk/presentation.  I’ll organise dates for pupils to present their work starting next week ( W.B 23rd). If pupils are using MS PowerPoints, it’s easier if these can be saved onto a memory device to be brought into school, rather than emailing it to me. I have yet to investigate if there’s a way of uploading MS PowerPoints to Google Classroom; maybe there is?  Obviously, Google Slides work in Google Classroom.

On the subject of Google Slides, I will endeavour to create a slideshow of P6 photos in the next few days so, watch this space, as they say!

PE– Tuesday

Spelling – As normal

Numeracy – Times tables practice

That’s all for now,
