Year6

Dear Parents and Carers,

After a superb week at Osmington Bay where the children were just fantastic in all respects, we have come back to the classroom with great curiosity to learn more about our topic of ‘Keep Calm and Carry On.’

We had a lovely visit from Mr Stiles this morning where the children listened intently to his talks about living through the Second World War as a young boy. They were shown so many artefacts from the war as well as rationed food items for the children to discover just how little adults and children got to eat for a week in the wartime. They were also allowed to pick up and ask questions about about gas masks, including special ones for babies, and shrapnel and German bullets collected by Mr Stiles.

Our learning about WW2 will be deepened with two further events for your children to experience: the baking of a Woolton pie and Evacuation Day. Children will bake a Woolton pie in groups from November 25th to December 2nd. They will bring a letter home this week which will let you know what day they are cooking and the ingredients they need to bring in for their group. Evacuation Day will be held on Friday 6th December and a letter to explain this day is attached. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Our PE days for this half term are Mondays and Wednesdays.

We are looking forward to a great half term of learning and the excitement that Christmas brings. Thank you for having such wonderful children who were such lovely company on our residential trip.

Best wishes,

The Year 6 Term

Dear Parents and Carers,

Our new Year 6 children have astounded us with their incredible attitude to learning and the kindness they show each other. They really have made a most wonderful start and we are so excited as their teachers to see what the rest of the year will bring.

As well as daily reading and times table revision, written homework will start this week (Wednesday for English and Friday for Maths) Children will need to purchase their homework books from school and you will find further information in the letter attached.

Our curriculum and residential trip information will take place on Thursday, 19th September in the school main hall from 5:45pm – 6:45pm.

For the week beginning 16th September, PE for all of Year 6 will be on Monday and Thursday.

The week beginning 23rd September, PE will continue for all of Y6 on Mondays. Forest School will also then take place and replace the second PE session from 25th September up until half term. Due to clashes with the peri music lessons, we have had to make some changes to the originally planned dates. We apologise for any confusion and thank you for your patience and understanding. All children will need to come to school in their forest school clothes (long sleeved tops and trousers, a coat and suitable footwear such as old trainers or wellies. Spare clothing should be brought in their school bag with a small towel). The new days for forest school will now be on:

WEDNESDAYS – 6F

THURSDAYS – 6B

FRIDAYS – 6C

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch on our Year 6 email: year6@stmarksce.org.uk

Here’s to a happy year of learning and we are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Mrs Chapman, Miss Fowler and Mr Bonner.
