Welcome to Year Six!

NB3: Performance Dates for the Y6 Production: Wednesday July 16th. Matinee at 2pm. Evening performance at 6pm. Ticketing info to follow (but each child will get two tickets, with more available in the case of split families).

NB 4: Hoodies will be given out to the children on Wednesday 18th at 9am. Parents are free to join the audience if they wish!

We have started to rehearse our production this week, and the children have jumped in, full of energy! We have also continued with our maths learning, enjoyed more of our book and created our own microbes out of plasticine.

You will have received a message from Mrs Glasby this week about a hugely inappropriate Whatsapp group chat that many Year Six children were added to. It is the third incident in the last two weeks that has involved social media and Year Six children. Here is a link that might help: Parents and Carers - UK Safer Internet Centre

It's been a long time since the children used plasticine, but they loved creating their self-designed microbes. From fungi to bacteria and viruses, it was a great way to learn about micro-organisms.

Budehaven came in on Tuesday to talk to the children about the move up to 'big school'. Before the talk (from Mrs Bardsley), some of the Year 12 children organised some PE activities, including cricket, rounders and volleyball. Some of the children also had an early transition visit to Budehaven, and enjoyed getting to find their way around, and see some of Stratton's 'old' students!

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been looking at drugs in PSHE, and the children have been really mature in their approach to such a sensitive topic. After our residential next week, we will be covering our RSE topic.

Have a great weekend and make the most of the promised sunshine!

practise spellings (using Spelling Shed) set online
read at least five times a week (preferably to an adult!)
