So, SATs week is done and dusted and all of the children worked extremely hard. We now have that lull in the term where we await the results of their hard work. A huge well done to every single one of you year 6!

As we wind down slightly towards the half term break we kick off the new week with our annual Eisteddfod- we eagerly await the delights of the display items on Monday along with the cake tasting experience- something we staff always look forward to. Please come along at the end of the afternoon on Monday and view the displays in the hall. The creativity of our pupils never fails to impress and as year 6 arrive at their final Eisteddfod week we are sure that they will leave a memorable impression.
Don't forget to check your timetables and come along and support your children in their performances.

We begin a mini topic in year 6 this week- Pattern. we will be looking at pattern in nature, pattern in history, pattern in maths and pattern in literacy. The real challenge is fitting all our many ideas into such a short busy week.

After half term we will be launching our main topic for this term, with a geography focus, deserts and rain forests. Planning for some exciting sessions is well under way and we look forward to sharing the outcomes with you all on open evening in July.

A final reminder to the children to remember your cushions to sit on during the performances during the afternoons. Bring them in on Tuesday ready for the first performances.

Meanwhile, enjoy the sunshine, long may it last!
