We’ve had another lovely week in class 6. Meeting grandparents yesterday was a fantastic way for the children to show how proud they are of what they are achieving at school. Our focus in English this week has been writing a recount of when Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. We had some examples read out in class yesterday and I think it is fair to say that I, our visitors and Mr Cullen were very impressed with what we heard. Great work everyone!

Spelling homework went out a little later this week so is not due in until Thursday next week.

Remember to bring school planners in on Monday so I can give out those reading raffle tokens.

Enjoy the lovely the weather this weekend.

It was lovely to celebrate class 6's 100% attendance success last week with a non-uniform day today. Well done everyone.

This week, class 6 and the rest of the lower school children, were whisked back in time to Ancient Egypt, thanks to the wonderful people of Partake who visited our school. The day involved exploring what life would have been like using our sense of touch, sight and even smell! We will soon be posting lots of pictures from the visit.

Other topic work this week has included thinking about the river Nile and why it was so important to the Ancient Egyptians and also starting to look at how we can use symbols instead of words to communicate. Our English work has revolved around writing sentences using our BOYS conjunctions and putting these into a Partake poster.

We are hoping to catch up on our class book, Secrets of a Sun King, next week find out what Lilian will be doing next on her adventures!

Remember to bring spelling homework and reading planners in on Monday.

Have a lovely, relaxing weekend.

What a splendiferous week in class 6!

Fri 14 Sep 2018

Wow, what a fantastic week we have had in class 6. I am so impressed with how well the children have settled in and adopted our class contract and school values. This week we have started looking at our Ancient Egypt topic work by thinking about chronology and how long ago the time of the pharaohs was. We have also been practising our spellings and sentences in preparation for some exciting writing activities we have planned for this term. The children have been taking responsibility for their class jobs brilliantly and this meant we won tidiest classroom of the week! Well done all!

Remember to bring in your school planners and spelling homework on Monday for those reading raffle tokens and merits.

In honour of Roald Dahl's birthday I am going to be enjoying this book over the weekend...

In the words of the man himself, I hope you all have a gloriumptious, wondercrump weekend.
