Blue class visit to National Space Centre

We are looking forward to our visit on Monday 4th December 2023 to the National Space Centre in Leicester.

We will be leaving school promptly at 8am and will return to school at approximately 5pm.

Children will need a packed lunch which should be clearly labelled and in a lightweight bag. the lunch have will be stored in a crate whilst we explore the centre. Please send a refillable bottle with your child so that we can keep them hydrated.

Children should wear school uniform. It is a only a short walk along a footpath from the coach area to the centre, so we will be leaving thick coats on the coach. School hoodies and trousers/ plain black joggers might be warmer than cardigans and skirts.

There is a shop at the centre – children should bring no more than £5 if they wish to buy a small souvenir. They will be responsible for their own money so should bring something to carry it in which can fit in a pocket. Please do not feel that you have to send your child with money.

This is a link to the website for those who would like to look where we are going.

Maths homework 17th November

Maths homework has been assigned for all on MathShed.

This is a recap of factors for most as this is knowledge we will be using when we move on to fractions next week. This was learning from earlier in the term.

Please let me know if you have any problems with the MathShed or the homework on Monday so we have time to help BEFORE the due date. You should complete home work by Wednesday at the latest.

Edshed (Maths Shed and Spelling Shed)

We have now started to set maths homework, timetable tasks and spellings on EDSHED for all children in Red and Blue class.

All the children in KS2 have all been given logins and passwords for Edshed. They should be stuck in to their Reading diaries. This will give them access to both Spelling Shed tasks and Maths Shed tasks.

You do NOT need to buy the maths shed and spelling shed apps. The site can be accessed through any web broweser and played on laps tops, ipads, iphones, kindle fire or any other android tablet. Of course you may choose to buy an app if you prefer.

These video links  and links to the Edshed help pages may help if children are struggling to get used to this new resource:

https://support.edshed.com/portal/en/kb/articles/do-i-need-to-buy-the-app-to-play-the-games-at-home

As well as the task we set the children are able to access other fluency games to support their recall of number facts on Maths Shed. Obviously, we would like them to complete the tasks set but they are free to practise as much as they like once these are completed! This is a good use of screen time…

Dear Parents

Blue class will be recieving homework from today. Homework is set on a Thursday and neeeds to be completed by the following Tuesday ( 14.11.23). Although homework is always based on work we have been doing in class, children should try not to leave it until Monday evening so we can help then if they are stuck before it needs to be handed in.  Mrs Bernasconi will be setting the Maths homework on line using Ed shed this week. May I remind you that children should also be reading each day at home and parents should sign the reading diaries. There are also timestables tests each week. Tomorrow’s  times tables are 3 and 9. Next Friday is 7 and 11.

Arthog Day 4

The theme of the day was water sports. This morning we canoed down the estuary. Before setting off, we tied two canoes together to form a catamaran. It was a race down the estuary and back.


This afternoon the children built a raft to float on a local pond. They used their knotting skills to assemble the raft.

Once built, it was time to launch their newly built raft into the water.

It was all going so well until our instructor, Tom, started suggesting some tricks! Chaos ensued….
Sadly,  our stay is nearly over and we’re packing up this evening. We have had a fabulous week learning new skills and having new experiences. Well done year 6; it has been a pleasure to take you away and make new memories.
