Week beginning 29th June 2009

Hi everyone,


Hope you have been enjoying the sunshine :)
last week saw some of our children taken part in a performance at the Parr Hall. The performance was fantastic and behaviour, as always was excellent considering it is such a long day. Thank you children.

Sports Day
This Wednesday is Sports Day things have changed this year. Instead of singular races going on after each other, there is a carousel of activities going on at the same time. We are sure the children have told you all about it! We have had lots of positive feedback about the different activities that have been organised this year and hope the children will really enjoy it. We have 3 teams, red, blue and yellow. All children have been assigned to a team. We have suggested that whatever colour team your child is in that if possible they wear a t-shirt of the same colour:

With the weather being as it is we are advising that children bring in a cap and sun cream daily as we have been spending a lot more time outside practicing for sports day and our end of year production.



What are we doing this week?


Most of this week will be spent putting together our production. The dates for the end of year production are as follows:

Monday 13th July - 6.45 pm
Tuesday 14th July-1.45pm

We have been so busy over the last few weeks we have hardly had any time to practice, therefore most of this week will be spent on preparations.What with Sports Day practice and Production practice you will be wondering if we can fit in any curriculum this week but as always the answer is yes!



We will be continuing with our Kensuke's Kingdom project. We will continue with the story and children will be using a variety of drama techniques to enhance understanding of the story.


Year 6 will be continuing with their Numeracy transition unit with Mr Tilling.

Year 5 will be putting their data handling skills to the test, when we start to look at different types of line/ bar graphs, tally charts and pie charts. See previous weeks for websites.


Thanks.
Year 5/6 Team
