Week Beginning 7th July 2008

Hi everyone,

We really can't believe that we are nearly at the end of another very busy and eventful school year! Our Year 6 children are looking forward to moving on to the High School and we are looking forward to our Year 5's becoming Year 6's and our Year 4's moving up to Year 5.

Last week our Year 6 children started a transition unit in RE with Miss Conlon from St Gregory's High School. Miss Conlon will also be coming into school on Monday morning to work with the Year 6's.

We did get outside last week and do some practice for Sports Day, we are really hoping that it will go ahead and if the weather permits it will take place on Tuesday 8th July, if not it will take place on Thursday 10th July. We are keeping everything crossed!

Our end of year production is starting to take shape now. Hopefully your child will have told you if they need a costume, if not you can pop in and see one of the Year 5/6 team and we will be happy to point you in the right direction.
We will be spending a lot of the week practicing for the production.
There will be no homework this week as we feel the time is needed to get costumes ready and learn song lyrics.
We now have the dates for our production 'A Night with the Stars', it will take place on Tuesday 15th July in the evening and Wednesday 16th July in the afternoon. You should receive your tickets soon so keep an eye of for them this week.
As usual we cannot allow entrance without a ticket due to health and safety regulations.

We are hoping that reports will go out at the end of next week but up to now we have still not received our Year 6 SATs results back into school, so hopefully they will arrive this week and we can get the reports out.

This week we will spend our time in class preparing for next year. We will be completing a piece of writing to pass up to the next teacher. We will also be completing some teacher and self assessments in maths and science to pass on to the next teacher.


That brings us to end of this weeks very short blog, although it is short we have lots to fit in, so much to do so little time!

Have a great week.

Year 5/6 Team.
