Teams Creative Task - Thursday 4pm
admin on: Class 6
Good Morning,
This morning, I have sent out an invitation, via Teams, to the whole class, to join me and all the staff in a trial event. On Thursday, at 4pm, I am going to host a 15 minute creative task, from here in the Y6 classroom.
The aim is to make sure that we can all get on at the same time, in case we need to do this as a daily event in the near future.
Please can you let us know asap if you have any connection issues with Teams - our office will be only too happy to help.
In the meantime, I will speak to the class about this, so they know what to expect.
Thank you for your support.

Week 8
admin on: Class 6
Good morning all.
It's very dark outside, but I've changed the calendar and it says 'November', so that'll probably explain it.
Things are a bit confusing for us adults at the moment, so I can only imagine how the children must be feeling. I'm planning to have lots of fun (mixed with lots of work) and to give the children plenty of time to talk about their understanding of things.
One thing is for sure, we are very prepared here. Miss Kelly has spent lots of time on the risk assessment and our staff will be make school the safest environment for your child to be.
Interventions begin today, so if your child is involved, please can they be here for 8.30am.
Spellings this week: achieve, interfere, sincerely, persuade, accompany, parliament, leisure, opportunity.
Mathletics will be to practise and consolidate this week's learning - conversion of lengths and distances.
Thank you to all of you who supported your child with the TEAMS project of World War I - we will be celebrating and sharing their work today.
It's still dark out there. I'm going to get a coffee and put some music on.
Have a lovely week!

Half Term Project
admin on: Class 6
Hello again - the half term is drawing to a close and we have had a very, VERY enjoyable 7 weeks, combining laughter, activities, videos and lots of hard work.
Hopefully your child came home yesterday to tell you about the extremely successful performance of Macbeth that they put on for year 5 (socially distanced) in the hall. As much as possible, I tried to let them do this independently, with very little input. They were fantastic!
Thank you to all of you who have supported your child with the new Teams platform - they have all been rewarded for their efforts and praised in class. This all stands them in good stead, not just for high school and their homework platforms, but also any blended work that we may need to do from home, should the situation change.
Next half term we will be covering World War I and World War II in topic and English. I have set them another project on Teams to research World War I and present their findings in some way. Again, this is not compulsory, but any work they put in will benefit them in the half term to come.
In addition, there is Mathletics to complete (they can always do more, if they are bored in the holidays!)
Have a great break!

Practice SATs and Autumn 2 Interventions
admin on: Class 6
Good Morning
As you will no doubt be aware, we have been doing practice SATs this week. We will be sending these papers home with your child for you to look through with them. I would encourage you to engage with them on any areas where they are unsure. Please keep in mind, there is a lot of teaching still to do in year 6 and this is very much an opportunity for them to familiarise themselves with the format and examples of the tests that they will be sitting.
Having said this, there are revision guides and practice question booklets widely available, should you want to look into this. Personally, I particularly recommend the Achieve guides (in Reading, Maths and Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation), which are available on Amazon for around £6.
Interventions will start - before school - for some, straight after the half term holidays.
Please check your child's book bag for letters and SATs papers.
If you have any questions, please email me on: class6@netherthongprimary.co.uk
Thanks for your support
Mr C and Mrs J
