Welcome to Year Six!

NB: With SATs on the horizon (12th - 15th May), we are getting closer to everyone's annual highlight - SATs Breakfast! School will be open to the Year Sixes early on these four days. Children can come in at 8am to enjoy a relaxed breakfast with their friends, so they are settled and ready to go for the day. It's always hugely popular!

NB1: Many of the cohort completed their Ten-For-Ten over the Easter break, but if your child didn't, it's still a useful revision tool as we head towards SATs week (12th - 15th May). They are still saved below.

NB 2: There will be an in-school visit to Stratton Primary by the Budehaven pastoral/transition team which will include an optional parent drop in session at the end of the school day for any queries you may have on Tuesday 10th June. Induction transition days to Budehaven will take place on 10th and 11th July.

NB 3: The school office has sent out a letter to parents who have children joining Budehaven in September which can be found below.

After a well-deserved Easter break, we've hit the ground running on our return to school this week, with new units for maths and English, classification in science and the London Mini Marathon.

Our English is based on a short video linked to the Three Little Pigs. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the lessons so far and have enjoyed seeing how the tale has been twisted and turned on its head.

The Ancient Maya is our history topic this half term, and this week we introduced the children to the civilisation and learnt about historical sources.

Classification is the new topic in science, and this week we looked at how classification keys work by classifying liquorice allsorts. The children enjoyed the lesson and some of them(!) enjoyed eating the leftover allsorts at the end!

We took part in the London Mini Marathon this week, running 8 laps (about 2.62 miles) of the track. Many of the children tried really hard and there was a lot of pride in giving their best - whether they completed 6 or 13 laps!

Have a fantastic weekend.

Mr Craig & Mr Daly
