Sats Parent Meeting
We are now in Spring 2 and Sats are getting closer. The children are working hard and as a result are showing great progress. Thank you to all the adults that were able to make our meeting this week. For those who weren’t able, we have added the short video explanation and the letter that was given out on the parent tab, then ks2 Sats page.
Any further questions please come and talk to the year six staff.
Thanks for your continued support.
Year 6 team.

Christmas party
Our upcoming trip to Newstead Abbey is Tuesday the 11th of December - children will need to dress in their Victorian outfits and bring a 'themed' lunch (no plastic packets or bottles - we want to try to be authentic).
Oh dear - someone was a naughty boy on our Victorian school day...
Our new topic - Revolution - focuses on the history of Victorian Britain.
"Are you listening, boy? What is twenty-seven plus forty-five? Come on - faster now, we haven't got all day!"
Find out about super-strict schools by travelling back in time to a Victorian classroom. Make sure you're on your best behaviour though, as punishments are unquestionably terrible!
Discover a time when great minds thought new thoughts and ingenious inventors created so many things we take for granted today: the electric light bulb, the telephone and even the modern flushing toilet!
You might even get to invent things yourself in the Victorian Dragon's Den...
We will research a time when Victoria was Queen and Albert was Prince Consort - when some people lived in slums while others prospered.
Hola Mexico - we had a fantastic time in our first Y6 topic. Here are some pictures of a couple of our favourite activities: eyeball dissections when we were studying Light in science, and a class game of Pok-A-Tok, which was sport invented by the Maya of ancient Mexico.
