Pott Shrigley Class 3 2021 - 2022

MAY 2022

SUMMER TERM 1 

We hit the ground running after our Easter break - full steam ahead to SATS week for our lovely Year 6 girls Nia, Grace and Megan.

It's important for the girls to feel well prepared for these tests but to also realise that they are not the most important thing in the world. 

The rest of the class have also been working hard alongside the Year 6s - this is a great benefit of a mixed class. The other  year groups learn to work and think independently alongside their peers. 

The Year 4 girls will take their Timetable test online next half term so it is important that the children keep practicing. They know their tables quite well but the test requires them to answer within 60 seconds so speed of recall is essential.  

Our text this term is Journey ot the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson. Maia is an orphan who journeys to the Amazon to live with her relatives. We will be learning about South America and Brazil to enhance our understanding of the story. 

 Happily after SATS the curriculum opens up so we can enjoy a range of different activites in and out of the classroom -sports, mini trips and of course next half term our Residential to YHA Ilam. This is a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience outdoor activities in a stunning setting and the excitement of staying away from home with their friends. It will be fabulous fun for the children and exhausting for those of us looking after them!! 

If parents have any queries or are worried about anything in particular about their child please do not hesitate to contact myself or Ms Bromley. 

Warmest wishes 

Mrs Blackwell
