FINAL WEEK!!!!!
Posted: Jul 21, 2023 by: Mrs Amos (a.amos) on: Oak Tree Class Blog
Well done to these pupils:
Special mention – Olivia
Reader of the Week – Alisha
Oak Tree’s Reading Ambassador – Violet
And we have made it!!
The final week has continued in true ‘busy’ style – we have finished our Maths unit on Position and Direction and we have perfected a method for division (Some very brave pupils have also learned how to master Long Division – the Holy Grail of Maths in Y6!!!).
As well as this, we have celebrated the end of term in style!
Thanks to you all for your gifts and your support – have a super summer holiday.
On Tuesday we had an Assembly led by a local Librarian telling us about the Summer Reading challenge. This is run in libraries across the country to encourage children to visit libraries and continue to read throughout the 6-week break from school.
This year's Summer Reading Challenge theme is 'Ready, Set, Read!' and aims to keep children's minds and bodies active over the summer break. Children can read anything they like – stories, poetry, fact books, graphic novels or listen to audiobooks – it’s up to them! The books (physical or digital) can be borrowed from the library, and we recommend reading at least six books over the summer, with a Ready, Set, Read! reward for each of the six books they read. Once they have read their sixth book, they complete the challenge and will be awarded a certificate and medal. And best of all, it’s completely FREE!
Saturday 22nd July is Sign-up Saturday in Leeds, which is a dedicated time in libraries for joining the Summer Reading Challenge. There'll be a real buzz in our buildings on this day, as well as a range of self-serve activities, including a hunt for the Ready, Set, Read! characters among our bookshelves.
