Hello Year 6, I hope you have all dried off by now!

A huge well done to all of you for today’s trip – what fun! Just like Mr Duffy, I feel very tired now

I wonder how many of you will have sore arms in the morning after all that paddling?

There will be lots more photos appearing on the MLE very soon, but here is one picture from today:

Don’t forget, the adults who came with us made your trip possible, so don’t forget to thank them when you see them tomorrow.

Just one week to go until our next trip…fingers crossed the sun will shine for that one!

Happy weekend 6C!

Remember your homework is to learn your lines for the production, think about what your costume should look like, or make sure you know what props are needed in each scene if you are backstage crew.

You did very well making your newspaper chair this week and I am looking forward to testing out its strength on Monday! (let’s hope it doesn’t collapse and leave me in a heap on the floor!)

Here is a little riddle for you to think about over the weekend – you can post your answer here, or on our MLE page in the ‘chat’ section. There are house points available for the correct answer:

I have streets but no pavement, cities but no buildings, I have forests but no trees, I have rivers yet no water. What am I?

See you on Monday and don’t forget your trip letter and money, SRE slip and PE kit!

Mrs Couch

*********

Hello 6C and 6D! Congratulations to those of you who didn’t go to France for a fabulous ‘Travel week.’ I have enjoyed hearing all the facts you discovered about Spain and France and I was very impressed by your Spanish and French language skills too! Well done 6D (aka France) for winning the European Games event today – better luck next time 6C (Spain)! You should all be very proud of how well both classes worked together during ‘The Games’ and baking for our cake sale.

22nd May 2011

Hello Year 6,

I hope you’re all having a good weekend, even though today is terribly windy. Hopefully, you are all very excited about our up and coming end of year production. As you all now know your parts, you should ensure that you become familiar with the scenes in which you will perform. Those children who are performing backstage roles; you need to ensure you know about the props needed, scene changes and sound and lighting prompts.

This is the last week before half term now, and boy has it been hectic! We have worked our little socks off this half term and previous ones in preparation to show off our skills to everyone. However, remember we still have lots of important things to do before we say goodbye and you start you secondary school career.

Enjoy your week, I know I will and all those children coming to France this week! We will keep you posted throughout the week with our exciting adventures!!

Mr Duffy.

I feel like I haven’t written on the blog for such a long time. Hope you all had a great week, last week. As you will see on the home page of the blog I have updated the post regarding newsletters and a great new website.

6D I am back this week and as I said previously the hard work and concentration is now needed more than ever. Though I know you can do this. As I wasn’t in Friday, you haven’t had homework in a physical sesne, but I did talk to you about ensuring you practised things such as spellings and timestables, these are all things you can do on your own. I am now attaching the link to the sheet of spellings so you can have this online too! I will also provide a link to it on the MLE.

See you tomorrow.
