Red Kite

Hello!

Already heading for the last half term of Year 6 and Primary School! Red Kites have been working hard across the curriculum, with our focus being on consolidating everything we need to know for the upcoming SATs next week.

In English, we have been writing newspaper articles and our own fairy tales, based on Philip Pullman's Grimm Tales. We saw some fantastic writing, with lots of advanced vocabulary and clever ideas.

This week, we have been having some fun with VE day activities; learning about Morse Code and creating our own VE day themed bunting! As well as of course our sponsored walk around the fields to raise money for the veterans.

Next half term, we have the residential trip to look forward to, as well as our upcoming play and lots of transitional activities to help us get ready for life beyond Year 6. We're looking forward to a final drive to learn as much and enjoy ourselves as much as possible in these last few weeks.

Your teachers continue as Mrs Shay on a Monday and Tuesday and Mrs Gordon-Jones on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We also have Mrs Reed supporting us.

PE and library are on a Wednesday.

We want to remind you to keep calm and remember that even though SATS are important, they do not tell us everything about you and your journey through primary school.

We will be carrying out our mock SATS again this term. Some top tips to stay calm and get through this week:

Eat a banana (they slowly release energy and can keep you going) in the morning
Try and write down your worries before you go to bed. Try and share them with someone
Practice sitting in a silent room (this is particularly helpful to get you in the zone) from time to time

Thank you

Mrs Gordon-Jones, Mrs Shay and Mrs Reed
