Year 6

White Fang

Summary

This is my best book report that I have done:
this was about a baby wolf called white fang. He lost both his parents and his siblings which was upsetting.
Soon later he went out and found  people. They went to go kill white fang but he was to fast and so they gave up and tried to tame him. Eventually white fang was no longer a wolf he was a tamed dog. One day his trainer was going away and never ever coming back . The next day the boys locked up and set off to the boat but white fang broke the window and dashed after them. When he got there the boys tried to take him off the boat but they couldn't so he had to take white fang to live with him in the city.

A poem through the eyes and thoughts of someone else.

Tragic Coma 

I’m trying to wake up      

I’m trying to be free     

But what I’m trying     

They don’t see   

I’m stuck 

I’m listening to people swallow the pain 

I’m listening to sighs  

But what I’m listening to  

Makes me feel worse inside 

I’m stuck 

The way their moving me, up and down 

Makes me feel disrespected  

I just want to sit up and frown  

But I can’t  

I’m stuck 

Suddenly, my body felt like I was emerging from water 

I could feel sweat dripping down my face  

Even though I was freezing cold  

My body felt loose 

I could open my eyes, I was out of the coma 

I could move my arms around 

Then I realised, I was still stuck  

But this time 

Six feet underground 

By Abbie

Here are the children who have

completed a quiz this week:

Madison

Well done Madison. Come on Year 6 we want you start taking your quizzes.

Year 6 have been reading the book Air Raid by Jean May. When they have finished reading the book the children are writing reviews. 

Air raid book review by Tien:
This was a fiction book but it was based on real events that do happen. It was about 2 boys called Jack and Harry, they find this dog called Raf and go to rescue him but then the alarm goes off. They get Raf out and run but get told off by a fire fighter and then the old church falls over. As they went on, they came across an old pub, they go in but then the walls fall down and block the entrance. They manage to escape but not in a good place, they ended up by the bomb. Harry, Jack and Raf wake up and are rescued by old tin hat and the captain after they are rescued, the bomb disposal come and take the  bomb away.

Hi Year 6, hope you are all keeping well and are all safe.

I am now keeping myself busy with lots of work and filling in your transition forms for your senior schools telling them how naughty you all are (just kidding, your all fantastic). I will soon be filling in all your school reports too so that will keep me very busy.

Now I am going to set you your new topic challenges over the next few days. The first one is as follows:

Happy reading.

Dear Year 6,

Please make sure that you carry on with your learning whilst you are at home. It will help prepare you for senior school in September. Keep looking at the class page as I will update it with new learning opportunities for you.

Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Miss Lynch and Mrs Kaur  

Home Writing Task

Write a report about the Tudors. Make sure that you check your grammar and include the features of a report. You must make sure that you paraphrase the information ( do not copy it word for word).

Welcome to Year 6

Miss Lynch is Year Six's class teacher and Mrs Kaur is our teaching assistant. We are also supported by Mr Barr and our resource base teacher, Miss Paulson, and our resource base teaching assistant, Miss Leddy.

As a team, we are excited about a busy year ahead and look forward to building a working partnership between staff, pupils, parents and carers to maximise children's learning.

This term our theme is 'Crime and Punishment' with a particular focus on History. We will be using the old school log books to investigate the punishments which were given at school and the reasons for them. 

P.E. 

We have P.E. on a Tuesday and Friday so please help your child to be fully prepared for this lesson by having their kit in school. 

S.A.T.s

As many of you will know Year 6  is the time when children across the country take their S.A.T.s tests. The dates for the tests are: Monday

11th May to Thursday 14th May.  We will be working with you and your children to ensure that they are fully prepared and more information will be provided later in the year.

Today is World Book Day, Year 6 have dressed up as their favourite characters from the texts they have been reading. During the afternoon Year 6 have had the chance to share their stories with the younger children.

Year 6 were really excited as they received a mystery box full of books chosen by the teachers at the book store 'Peters'. The grand unveiling revealed some interesting tales.

                                                              Tudor Day

Today is our first day back and Year 6 have come into school dressed as Tudors. They have created and played Tudor games, carried out historic research and cooked 'Love Knots' using an old Tudor recipe. 

The children will be finding out about the Tudors this Term and evaluating the evidence that still exists today.
