Year 6 – SATs Complete! 🎉

A huge well done to all of Year 6 for completing their SATs this week! We are incredibly proud of the hard work, determination, and positive attitude everyone has shown. The children approached each day with resilience, focus, and lots of smiles.

SATs week can feel challenging, but Year 6 supported each other brilliantly and showed just how much they have grown this year. They should all be very proud of themselves.

To help everyone start the day feeling ready, the children enjoyed a yummy breakfast every morning before the tests. We even had a very special visit from Mabel on Thursday morning, which brought lots of smiles and excitement!

After all of their hard work, Year 6 enjoyed some well-earned downtime. We had extra playtime, visited the chicks, relaxed with a movie, and celebrated with a fantastic post-SATs party on Thursday where everyone could bring in and play their own games together.

The children have worked so hard and truly deserved the chance to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Well done, Year 6 — you’ve smashed it! 

We’re looking forward to an exciting final term together filled with lots more memories and fun!

Have a restful, fun weekend and we will see you on Monday.

Week Commencing: 4th May 26

We’ve reached our final week and the children have worked incredibly hard. This week, we received our test papers and had time to reflect on our scores. It’s been a great opportunity to celebrate what went well and identify areas where we can continue to improve and close any gaps. 

We then spent the rest of the week having lots of fun, taking part in a range of revision games! The children thoroughly enjoyed activities such as scavenger hunts, The Unfair Game, Boardmasters, Million Pound Drop and more—making revision both engaging and enjoyable.

Well done to all of the children for their positive attitudes and effort throughout this process!

Have a lovely, restful weekend—we look forward to seeing everyone bright and early for our SATs breakfast next week.

Week Commencing: 27th April 26.

This week, we have been busy completing our mock SATs – the final set before the real assessments. The children demonstrated fantastic growth mindsets, along with great perseverance and resilience throughout. Well done to everyone for your hard work and positive attitude!

To end the week, we completed our rondelet poems in English, showing great creativity and care with our writing. In Geography, we “flew” over to South America, where we explored the different countries and islands, and learned about their capital cities.

We also had a wonderful time dressing up in green as part of the Lions of the Loose project, helping to raise money for St Clare Hospice.

A fantastic end to a busy and productive week!

 

Week Commencing: 20th April 26.
This week has been a glorious and busy one in Year 6!

We started the week by completing our mini marathon. The children challenged themselves to run, jog, or walk 12 laps—an impressive 2 miles. Every single pupil completed the distance within the session, with some even going beyond it. A special good luck goes to those who will be representing us this Saturday in the London Mini Marathon, running along The Mall to the finish line!

In Maths, we moved on to our topic of shape, revising and consolidating our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. We discovered an interesting fact—did you know that the shape of a Pringle is called a hyperbolic paraboloid?

With not long to go until the end of term, we are working hard to cover and revisit as much as possible.

In Geography, we explored our final topographical feature: deserts. The children researched deserts located in North America and presented their findings to another group, developing both their knowledge and presentation skills.

In English, we continued writing our Rondelet poems inspired by the Missouri River. These poems follow a specific structure of seven lines, including a rhyme scheme and a repeated refrain.

We ended the week by being lucky enough to watch the Year 3 and 4 production. We were amazed by the amount of hard work and effort they had put into their performance—it was truly fantastic to watch!

Have a lovely weekend everyone, enjoy the sunshine, and we will see you on Monday! 

Week Commencing: 13th April 26.

What a lovely first week back, although it's hard to believe that we are already in Summer Term! 

In Maths, we looked at area of composite shapes and also the last of our new learning: area of triangles and parallelograms. We have used this time to check back on any learning that we are unsure of so we are revising as much as we can and having a practice. Everyone worked hard on their homework over Easter and can see how this consolidates our class learning. 

As a school, we will also be taking part in the London Mini Marathon, so we needed to work out how many laps of our track would equal 2miles. To do this, we got out the trundle wheels and worked out it equals 12 laps. Over the next week, we will be completing our mini marathon. 

 In Science, we began an exciting new topic on evolution and inheritance. We explored how we inherit characteristics from our parents by learning about genes, and we took part in a fun activity matching Mr Men characters to identify which parents their traits came from.

In Geography, we studied topography and topographical features, including major rivers such as the Missouri and Mississippi, as well as mountain ranges in the USA like the Sierra Nevada, Rocky Mountains, and Appalachian Mountains.

To end the week, we attended an assembly where we learnt about an exciting upcoming project. We will be contributing to a large sculpture artwork across Epping Forest in the shape of a lion. Each of us will create a self-portrait with a coloured background—our class colour is green. We will also be dressing up on 1st May to raise money for St Clare Hospice, supporting this wonderful charity.

Have a great weekend everyone and see you next week!
