    We have all enjoyed a busy couple of days settling into our new classes and starting lessons.  Today, those who wanted to be considered for the role of Sports Captain made their speeches.  We are all excited to find out who our new Sports and House Captains are going to be.  

    We have all been given logins for our homework platform, SATs Companion.  This weekend we need to log in and save the website in our 'favourites', as well as trying a practise task. 

    Next week is our residential trip to Norfolk Lakes.  Mrs Forshaw and Mrs Ryder will be in the outside classroom on Monday morning at 8.30am ready to collect any medications.

    We wish you all a restful weekend and look forward to seeing everyone on Monday ready for our trip!

    Mrs Purser and Mrs Walker

    We have completed our transition week and are all looking forward to our new adventures next year, but are also feeling quite tired today!  Please complete the Science tasks set for you on SATs Companion and remember to keep up with your reading over the weekend.  The next section to complete in the Get Ahead booklet is English.  We are looking forward to seeing your work next Friday - please bring in any transition work you have completed so far.

    The most important piece of homework for you to do this weekend is to get lots of rest!  We have a very busy week ahead, and we need you all to be full of energy, enthusiasm and stamina!

    Please complete the 2 Science tasks set for you on SATs Companion.  Remember to continue with reading for at least 20 minutes per day, with 3 of these sessions reading aloud to an adult.  

    Next week is Science week. Please can you all bring in a range of different sized milk/ fizzy drink bottles which we can use for our Science Investigation - please bring in as many as you can on Monday morning.

    Remember to check which ingredients you need for making your Healthy Wrap and bring all your ingredients to school on Wednesday (the children have brought home a letter with all the ingredients they need).

    We have attached some Year 7 Mini Knowledge Organisers which you will be using when you move to Year 7.  It would be a great idea to print these at home and begin to learn some of the terminology so that you feel confident for the start of next term.

    In addition, the Hinchingbrooke 'Get Ahead Booklet' contains activities which you are being asked to complete over the summer.  To help manage this work, we are suggesting an activity for you to complete each week, and we will spend time in class discussing the work the following week.  This week, please have a go at the tasks in the History section of the booklet and then bring this work to school next Wednesday.  We suggest completing the work on paper and then organising it in a folder under different subject headings.

    The school is having a fun event in the last week of this term to celebrate the wider talents of the children in our school. If your child would like to take part we would love to see their act. They can choose to do an individual piece or join up with others in their year group to perform. You will receive an email shortly with details of our year group audition time.

    One act from each year group will be selected to perform in the whole school show.

    Please ensure that you learn your lines and words to songs for our play over half-term.  For rehearsals after half-term, we expect you to know all your lines so we can rehearse without scripts.  Tracks to the songs are attached below to help you practise.

    The children have been given costume ideas today and a copy of these are attached below.  Please think about your costume over the holiday and bring it into school (named and in a bag which can be kept on your peg) on Monday 24th June.

    There are no tasks set on SATs Companion, but please do have a go at practice tasks at home, to ensure you keep your skills fresh and are ready for Year 7.

    This week was SATs week.  We are so proud of the way all Year 6 children have conducted themselves this week; they have worked so hard, shown resilience, positivity and have been a credit to both Mrs Purser and Mrs Walker - thank you Year 6 - the whole school are really proud of you!

    There is no homework set for you on SATs Companion this week - but you are very welcome to go on and try some practise tasks - why not try some Science activities?  Instead of learning spellings this week, please learn the words for the song, 'Just Another Day'.  The backing track is attached below.
