Welcome Super Six to your class page

Welcome back to our Summer 2 term. I trust everyone has had a relaxing break. It's hard tobelieve that this is our last half term together at St Mary's before our Super Six move on to their new adventures at secondary school!

School is still a little different to what you remember due to Covid-19 changes, but it is still your school.  We will still be starting at 9 a.m. and finish at 3.00 p.m.  Please do read the return to school guidance that has been forwarded on parentmail.   You only need to bring your P.E. kit and your packed lunch if you have one.

As I write and look out of the window this time, the Camellia have finished and the various summer flowering shrubs are looking splendid as we move further into Summer. In Summer 2 term our topic is geography based.  We are going to focus on "Raging Rivers" This includes being able to name and locate counties and cities of the United Kingdom, geographical regions and their identifying human and physical characteristics, key topographical features (including hills, mountains, coasts and rivers), and land-use patterns; and understand how some of these aspects have changed over time.  We will also be able to include some compass work in our Forest school activities.

 In English we will use Talk for Writing to enable us to produce further pieces of writing, beginning with journalistic writing -  which links in with our summer production.  We are joining our local community volunteers and litter picking in our community for a couple of afternoons helping us to focus on our environmental responsibilities. We also have the school nurse visitng to talk with us about puberty and then a couple of weeks later about sex education. We will continue to learn French beginning with a topic on shopping and money (links to maths).   Our Summer production - Shakespeare Rocks! - is starting to take shape, props are being made, lines being learned and the singing is fantastic!  I do hope easing of lockdown restrictions will allow us to have you as our audience, if not we will find a way to showcase our talented year 6.  We also have our exiting adventurous activities residential to Walesby, as well as a sports afternoon/open afternoon.  Our stick insects are now back in the classroom and appear to be thriving - we have found a number of baby ones!

P.E. will be Monday and Thursday but please ensure you keep your kit in school all week as we may have other opportunities.

Homework will be given on a Friday to be returned the following Thursday, we will mark this together as a learning curve.

Remote Learning

Following school closures, we have decided to make the children’s learning experience streamlined and as simplistic as possible. Therefore we will ensure that we upload content ready for Monday mornings. The Government advice is that primary schools should have approximately three hours of work per day. With this in mind, St Mary’s will concentrate on at least three areas of study per day which will vary from year group to year group and may change each week.

The work will begin from tomorrow Wednesday 6th January.

To supplement your child’s learning, we will be offering CGP books at a significantly discounted price which the office will need to know by Friday the 8th January. These books have been handpicked by the teachers in order to best support the needs of the children. These are available via the school office.

Books for Year 6

KS2 Ancient Greeks Targeted Study and Question Book - Y6 (code HEB21) £3.50 each payment to the school office by Parentpay please

Reading Comprehension Y6 Study and question book (code EGC21) £1.85 each payment to the school office by Parentpay please

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact your class teacher through their regular Gmail address.

Happy Learning 

Remembrance Service

Y6 wrote some war poems for our Remembrance service.  Although we couldn't have our usual service in school, to which you would have been invited, we still had a short service of respect in our bubbles on the playground.  We decided in Y6 to record our own service and here is a link for you to watch it.  Please note that the service continues after the two minute silence.  We hope you enjoy.
