Well- after what seems like a lifetime of preparation SATs week is finally here. Mrs Clarke and I are confident that the children have been taught all the skills they will need to do themselves justice in the tests. They have worked extremely hard even though some of the revision lessons have been a bit dry and boring! We are very proud of their achievements and the progress they have made. They have been a super class to work with. As a reward for their efforts we have promised a post SATs party next Friday afternoon so they will be asking for some food or drink to bring to that please.

Last 'Mrs Clarke's homework' before SATs

We are completing the last of our revision this week for next weeks SATs. You have all worked REALLY hard this year - you just need to make the final push so you can show everything you know. Here's a link to the revisewise science site (physical processes) where you can do the quiz on magnets. Also here's a link to an area quiz. Let me know how you get on. Don't forget to revise any other topics you are not sure about. Ask me or Mrs Carroll if you need any last minute help.
Happy revising!

Snapshot of Robinwood

Here are a few snaps of the fun things we got up to last week. Over the next few weeks we will be putting the rest onto a disc for the children to take home.

Fun times at Robinwood

We all had a great time learning new skills, facing new challenges and working as a team. Mrs Carroll and Mrs Clarke were really proud of the way Class 6 showed such good manners and maturity. You were a great team-well done! We will be producing an end of year disc so that you can have a copy of all of the photos. Watch this space for a few samples later!

Happy Easter

Hi everyone! We hope you are enjoying the holiday and are spending plenty of time relaxing. Sorry to mention revision but just wanted to remind how important it is for you to be doing your homework and revising at this time. REMEMBER though, just do a bit at a time and concentrate on the bits you are not sure about. Here is a link to BBC revisewise and here's one to Woodlands Juniors.
Good luck - keep going - it'll all be worth it.

Homework for 15th/16th January

Hi everyone. Remember that homework has changed slightly this term. Tuesday is still the day for getting your homework from me but the maths needs to be done and brought back into school the following MONDAY. It is really important you do this as we will be using part of Mondays' lesson to go through the questions set. This is to help us revise for the SAT's. Each week we will be revising a different aspect of maths building into a revision folder that can be used at home and school. All other 'Mrs Clarke' homework can be done by Tuesday as normal.

SCIENCE - FORCES
Go to this link and try the activity, read the factsheet and try the test. Let me know how many out of 13 you scored.

Class 6 had a great time at Eden Camp. We found out lots of interesting information about World War 2. Your behaviour was great, Class 6 which meant that not only did you enjoy the visit more but the adults with you did too. Well done.
