Welcome to Buzzard class!
Welcome back from half term! It's the final stretch, let's make those last 7 weeks count! The Summer 2 term will be full-to-the-brim with play practise, bike ability, Secondary school transition days, Year 5 & 6 Sports day and (of course) the residential!
Remember, you have access to the play songs on the internet and please practice your lines at home. We will not have many practises between everything else!
In English, we will be finishing off 'The Unforgotten Coat' before moving onto Phillip Pullman's 'Grimm tales for the Young and Old' which are retellings of fairy tales closer to their originals (when recorded by the brothers Grimm). After which, we will hopefully have time to look at our last book called 'A Beautiful Lie' by Irfan Master. An extraordinary novel, set in India in 1947 at the time of Partition, touching on the importance of tolerance, love and family.
In guided reading, we will be continuing to read 'Wonder' and hopefully will finish it!
In History, we are learning about the Chinese Shang dynasty. It is the earliest dynasty of traditional Chinese history firmly supported by archaeological evidence. Very fascinating!
Our PE and library slots are on a Wednesday afternoon - (black trousers/shorts and a white top please).
Please remember to bring in your reading record each day as we do lots of reading!
It has been a pleasure to have you in my class and a privilege to teach you all,
Mrs Pain
Homework
We're making a slight change to how we administer homework. You'll find your reading task below on Friday as usual but your MyMaths tasks will now bet set on that platform on Monday, needing to be completed by the following week. (https://www.mymaths.co.uk/).
The reason for this is we were finding it difficult to support all of the children who needed it on one day, so spreading the homework out will enable us to help the children more effectively.
If you need any help, please speak to your class teacher so they can help you. Catch up will be at break time on Monday and Friday which will be led by one of the Y6 teachers.
