Week 11: How can we keep ourselves safe?

Year 6 children, what were the key messages that you learnt at the Safety Challenge last week? Year 5 children, add your own views and opinions....
We have a very busy week ahead of us. Y6 Transition day is on Wednesday for those children going to AMVC and Kings' schools and Friday for those children going to Bourne Grammar School. Soke Athletics and Eco Awards are on Thursday morning and swimming is on Friday morning. Please make sure that you have your PE kits in school this week and bring your sponsor money in to school as soon as it is all collected in.

Week 10: What evidence is there that tells us that people lived in Scarborough in the past?

Year 6 children need to remember to bring a water bottle and arrive at school promptly on Monday morning to catch the coach to the Safety Challenge in Peterborough.
The NSPCC Buddy Big Work out afternoon of sponsored activities is on Tuesday. On Wednesday you will need your PE kits in school to practise for the Soke Sports.
What can you remember about the history of Scarborough? Who were the early settlers?

Week 9: Explanatory texts- How are our coastlines formed?

Year 6 Bikeability sessions will be taking place this week- don't forget to bring your bike and safety helmet into school. We have a special visitor in school on Wednesday morning working with the Year 5 and Year 6 children -those who are not on cycling training.
This week we will be looking at explanatory texts. Can you find an example to bring to school to share with the class?

Week 8: Can we persuade you?

There are many types of persuasive texts. Try writing an advert for a new variety of icecream and adding some of your persuasive features to the Blog.

This week seems to be a little quieter (at the moment) with our final SRE session on Monday. On Wednesday afternoon Mr Fowkes will be organising House Cricket matches. The NSPCC are taking assemblies on Thursday morning and Friday will be our normal swimming session.

Week 7: How good are you at estimating?

Welcome back after your half term break- I hope you have all had a lovely holiday and I look forward to hearing your news.
Hopefully the sun will shine for us this week so that Sports' Day will take place on Thursday afternoon. We will have to rearrange some of the events to include those children who were absent before half term. SRE sessions also start this week and a photographer will be in school on Monday afternoon for Y6 and on Tuesday morning for everyone for class and team photos.Don't forget your swimming kit on Friday morning!

How good are you at estimating? Estimate the number of cups of coffee Mrs Green has had during her life.... What information will you need to know to help with your estimates? Add your questions/ estimates to the Blog and I will respond to them.

Week 6: Year 5 Tests Week and Preparations for Sports' Day

Well done to the Year 6 children who worked really hard during SATs week- I know that the Year 5 children are going to work equally as hard this week.
We have another busy week ahead of us with visitors from Kirkstone House, Kings' School and AMVC to talk to you about transition to Secondary School. There will be a Gold Book assembly on Tuesday and hopefully a Cricket Coaching session on Wednesday. The House Captains will be busy this week helping to sort out the entrants for the races for Sports' Day on Thursday afternoon, starting at 1.30pm. There will be a swimming session as normal on Friday morning.
PE Kits are needed in school every day!

Week 5: Which coastal areas have you visited in Great Britain?

Just a few more of our 'Scarborough photos'. Please bring in a photo or picture of an area of coastline around the British Isles. You need to be able to locate the place on a map of Great Britain and be able to tell us about any special geographical features that it has.
Another busy week ahead...
Y6 SATs week- please get to bed early because we want everyone to be awake and ready to give 110% ! We will try to fit in a Reward session on Tuesday (when you have decided what you would like it to be) and PE kits will be needed, especially at the end of the week, when we start to practise our races for Sports' Day.
Please remember swimming kits on Friday morning.
