Welcome to Class 10!
Shh, don't tell anyone, but we really are the best class in the school...
We are a fantastic bunch of Year 6s and our teacher is Miss Lewis. We are also supported, every morning, by our wonderful teaching assistant, Mrs Vardy.
Every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, Mrs Vardy teaches us Spellings, Heartsmart (PSHE) and French and Mr Yates teaches us for PE (make sure you come to school wearing your PE kit on these days!).
Key reminders:
Homework:
All passwords for online homework should be in your child's reading record.

In Science, we are learning about electricity and started off by testing how a change in battery voltage affected the brightness of a lightbulb.
As part of our Discover topic, we have been learning about the artwork of William Morris and we then created our own design which we printed onto canvas bags!
We joined the Year 6s from Mr Marshall's class and walked down to the village war memorial, to join with members of the Farnsfield branch of the Royal British Legion, for an act of remembrance. We learnt about why it is important for us to stop and remember the sacrifices made by our armed forces, both in the past and today.
We had a great Outdoor Learning Day, where we used lots of our Geography skills! We learnt how to read the grid references and symbols on OS maps, we used our brand new orienteering course around the grounds of school (including using some brand new iPads!) and then we used compasses to orientate ourselves outside and then drew our view from different directions.
We had a really fun day and can't wait for the next one!
Welcome back after the holiday - I hope you had a fabulous time!
