Weekly Update 16.6.23
Posted: Jun 16, 2023 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Maple Tree Class Blog
Hello,
A very warm week in school!
Year 6 have made the most of the amazing weather this week and have enjoyed some additional Sports Day preparation. The field has been a perfect location with lots of shade under the trees. Water bottles, hats and sunscreen are essential this time of year.
Production rehearsals have commenced this week with learning songs and a script read through. I have been impressed with the fabulous reading and enthusiasm the children have shown. Despite being uncertain, they have surprised themselves and it has been lovely to see some potentially great performances beginning. Individual parts will be allocated next week.
The children received their £5 investment for the 'Grow a £5' challenge and have planned both individually and in groups how they will make a profit. This has been supported in maths lessons by discussing profit and loss in a variety of problem solving questions. The first Market Day Event will be held on Monday 19th June 2-4pm. Parents and carers are invited to visit after school to see the super selection of stalls and children in school can visit during the afternoon. A second Market Day Event will be held on Tuesday 4th July 2-4pm. Children taking part will need to be in school until 4pm on these days.
Year 6 also had a talk on online safety this week. This remains an important message, particularly as children become more independent. Included below is a link with useful information for parents https://saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/safer-internet-day-2023/parents-and-carers/practical-tips-for-starting-a-conversation-about-life-online
As you can see, Year 6 are having a busy time and it will be getting even busier!!!
Enjoy another sunny weekend.
