CHANGES TO PE DAYS:
Year 6 PE is Thursdays (with a professional cricketer) and Fridays with the Leeds Rhinos. Pupils need to wear their PE kit on those two days until further notice.
There is no longer PE on Tuesdays.
SATS INFORMATION:
Please read the SATS 2025 booklet, sent home Tuesday 4.3.25 with your child. There is a PDF version in the links below. Have a go at the practice questions! Parents who complete the booklet may win a prize! Please hand in by Monday of the final week before Easter!
There's lots to look forward to in our learning for Spring 2.
It's also Science Week in Week 3.
Thursday 13th March is MARS DAY! Pupils can come to school dressed for a journey into space. We recommend silver foil head-wear and cool-dude glasses.
Commander Stone and his crew will scan you at the space classroom door on arrival.
We will have a VR Workshop on Thursday 20th March, where we will go on a journey inside the human body!
In English and Science, we will focus on the circulatory system. We will write the story of a red blood cell after studying how blood is made and what it does. Art and Design lessons will be all about sculptures. We will write beautiful poems to go with our sculptures.
