The week's seem to be flying by, we have so much to do and so little time!
Penketh and Sankey District Schools Challenge Cup. June 2009
Congratulations to the A and B teams who were both successful in their first round qualifiers of the District Schools Challenge Cup held at Penketh Community Primary School, Stocks Lane, earlier this week. The A team beat Barrowhall Lane (A) 5 – 0 (with Edward Shaw scoring a hatrick) whilst the B team beat Barrowhall Lane (B) 3-1 in a closely contested game. Well done to all players who demonstrated great effort, maturity and determination.
Thank you to Mrs Walker, to all the parents who transported the children to and from the event and a special thanks to Theo Phocou for his continued coaching efforts, time and support to the school.

For those boys who were unfortunate not to take part in the tournament, we have spoken to Penketh South who have agreed to a match. We are trying to arrange a mutually convenient date and I will let all concerned know as soon as possible.
PAN Performance
On Monday evening we have the Primary Arts Network Performance at the Pyramid Parr Hall. Children will need to bring a packed tea as we will be leaving school at 3.15pm and going straight to the Hall. We will then be practicing our performance along with the other schools involved. The performance starts at 7.00pm and the doors open at 6.15pm. Tickets can be purchased from the Pyramid Parr Hall ticket office.
Costumes: children will need to bring in a black top and black leggings or trousers.
This weekend our year 3 children will be receiving their First Holy Communion. We wish them lots of good luck and are sure it will be a very happy and enjoyable time.
This Week's Curriculum:
We will be starting our Generation Green Campaign.
Generation Green:
Help us sow the seeds for a greener tomorrow
I’m happy to tell you that St Vincent’s has joined Generation Green, a new programme from Scottish Gas to help our children do their bit to make the planet greener.
Greener at school
During the year, we will be undertaking green tasks to encourage us to save energy and cut our carbon emissions. Tasks can be as simple as appointing a lights monitor for each classroom or as complex as measuring our carbon footprint (this tells us just how green St Vincent’s is today).
Greener at home
Any support you can give us will be very welcome. For example, going along with your children when they ask you to do green things at home – like switching off the lights to save energy. You could also help us earn Leaves by completing a quick and simple Energy Savers Report. You’ll find this at generationgreen.co.uk on the friends and family page.
Numeracy
The Year 6 children will be continuing with their transition project this week.
Miss Wright's and Mr Slavin's group have raced through the maths curriculum this year, we have spent some time reviewing subjects that the children found difficult when completing their tests and now feel that it is time to start preparing them for next year's curriculum. We will therefore be starting some of the Year 6 topics.
This week we will be looking at expressing a quotient as a fraction, or a decimal rounded to one decimal place. This means that we will be doing sums that don't divide into a whole number exactly e.g. 46 divided by 7 and finding out the answer is 6 and 4/7. It sounds difficult but if the children have good knowledge of their tables they will find it much easier, so keep working on those tables.
Literacy
In Literacy we will continue our Kensuke's Kingdom scheme of work. We will be following Michael and his family on their journey around the world. We will be using Kensuke's Kingdom as inspiration for our big write this week too :)
End of Year Production
We have so much to do! Children are in their groups for the performance now and we are all very impressed at to what songs and dances the children have decided on. It is an absolute pleasure to be helping the children with the performance. All Year 5/6 are so enthusiastic about the songs that they have chosen to work to! We will be having lots of practice this week so children can start to think about costumes and props that they might need for their act.
Have a great week.
Year 5/6 Team
