Mr Day

So proud of Harry’s efforts with this rather dark and fearsome poem! I hope we don’t get weather like this over our winter!

Ho!Ho!Ho!

First – a massive THANK YOU to everyone for their kind Christmas messages, cards and gifts – too much!! I am very grateful!

Secondly – and this is the bit you’ll like – the only thing I’d like you to do regarding homework is to keep up the reading over Christmas. I think x6 reads recorded should do it as a minimum.

Wishing you all and your families a joyful, peaceful Christmas.

See you on Tuesday, 7th January 2020!

Mr Day

Hello everyone!

Homework – for Tuesday please:

1. Short ‘SPAG’ test to complete in your yellow book.  Please take care with this and follow instructions.
2. Spend 20 minutes on IXL.COM MATHS – Year 6 – S1 to S5 co-ordinates questions. Keep an eye on the time and be sure you have answered plenty of questions in the time. I will be checking this.
3. Reading – as usual – make sure that you have recorded at least x3 reads between Monday 9th December and Sunday 15th December.

The good news is that (apart from reading) this is your last homework task for 2019. The next homework will be set next decade!

Mr Day

Hi Year 6!

Have a good weekend!

Mr Day

Hello Year Six!

A nice task for you this weekend!

Make your own maths advent calendar, complete with 24 carefully scored-out doors and 24 maths problems inside. REMEMBER: get adult help when you get to the stage of scoring with scissors – do not do this alone! Card and plain paper was distributed for this task on Friday.

The daily maths problem needs to be Y6 standard (IXL or Mymaths could help you generate short questions) and they could also be times-tables practise questions. Each ‘door’ should have the solution to the previous day on the inside of the door, whilst the next new question goes on the sheet underneath.

Do not stick the doors closed when you attach the backing sheet, or you won’t be able to open the doors!

Bring them back in on Tuesday, finished to a high quality – we will display them and open up each others’ calendars in the run-up to Christmas.

Please note: due to the panto today, spelling test for group 11 words will be on Monday. There will be a GRAND SPELL to get ready for on FRIDAY 6th December – all autumn term words please!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Mr Day

Hello everyone!

Just a note to say that your homework is to go over your maths and SPAG tests with a different colour pen and try and do some corrections – if you are close to full-marks already, then aim to get every question correct! If you have a lot to do, let’s agree that you need to try and correct at least 5 on each paper (more if you like though!)

Reading homework is as usual -x3 reads over the week please.

Have a good holiday and see you in November!

Mr Day

Hello!

This week’s home learning is:

1. Get ready for next week’s ‘Grand Spell’ test – revise all the words from group 1 to group 7
2. Literacy: there is a mini reading test in your book. Please answer all questions with care – aim to complete in no more than 20 mins.
3. Maths: there is a mini maths test in your book. Aim to finish every question (you could use Mymaths or IXL as help if needed!) spend no more than 30 mins on this.
4. Reading: PLEASE READ FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR 20 MINS EACH DAY AND RECORD IN YOUR GREEN READING RECORD.

To give everyone a bit more time on this, I will accept the maths and literacy handed in on TUESDAY, but you must ensure that all the reading is completed and handed in for checking on Monday as usual.

Thanks everyone,

Mr Day

Hello! And welcome. You made it! Your final year here at St Mary’s! How exciting!

Together, let’s make this year your best EVER year of learning in preparation for the next step of your education.

This web page will be an important point of reference for you and your families on a weekly basis.

On it, you are likely to find:

• Homework information
• Spelling lists (see the link at the top of this page!)
• Top tips and learning links to other web pages
• Key information or news
• Pieces of children’s outstanding work
• Photos of exciting events
• Reminders and prompts to help you get the best from your education

To start with, a reminder that all of you can now access (for FREE!) the excellent ESPRESSO from Discovery Education by simply going to:

www.discoveryeducation.co.uk       clicking on ‘espresso’ and then using the following usernames and passwords:

student18496   student18496

I hope you find some time to use it over the coming year – it will help you get ahead with topic revision, provide you with simple and effective learning platforms and of course provide invaluable as a resource in preparation for your SATs tests next May.

A polite reminder for the new term: before you left for the summer break, all children and parents were reminded that in September 2019 it would be a requirement for ALL children to have a proper book bag and just a simple PE bag for the new school year – rather than the ever bigger ‘rucksack’ type bags that have been coming in. There was also a reminder that pencil cases are not needed as everything is provided in class. Please ensure that you comply with these requirements. Thank you.

Remember to check back here regularly for updates, news, information and lots more!

You are very welcome in Year 6! I hope you enjoy it!

Mr Day

Hi everyone

Mr Day

Hi everyone!

All you need to do is have a lovely holiday, keep up your reading and learn your lines for the production.

See you all in a week or so!

Be safe.

Mr Day

Hi everyone

After a tough week of intensive learning and assessments, this weekend I encourage you to spend time relaxing and having fun. Keep up your reading as always and if you have any ‘weaker’ areas – especially with maths or spellings– just spend a little time practising to put your mind at rest.

Other than that, come back on Tuesday refreshed and ready to go!

Have a good weekend everyone

Mr Day

Hello!

‘You get out what you put in’

Have a great weekend!

Mr Day

SATS SPELLINGS

Hey Year Six,

Alongside your EXAM NINJA list, the document above might prove useful when preparing for the SPAG test. Click on the link and a word list should magically appear! There is no guarantee that any of these words will come up, but you can bet that similar spellings will! Make it your mission to smash it!

See you soon

Be happy!

Mr Day

Hi everyone

Firstly –  I hope you have a lovely Easter and come back having had a nice rest and some fun times (and not too much chocolate!)

However, as you know SATs week looms beginning Monday 13th May and you will want to be ready. So we cannot totally sit back and do nothing over Easter!  Here’s what you NEED to do and what I’d LIKE you to do:

NEED TO DO:

1. Reading. Reading. Reading. Lots of it if you can – and lots of different texts too! You all have been given non-fiction texts to read over Easter alongside your normal reading book. Be sure to question what you read and think deeply – especially about new / tricky words. Talking about your reading is just as important as the reading itself! And most importantly try to ENJOY your reading!
2. Maths – you have a TIME paper with SATs-style Qs to answer. There is a letter to parents and a SLIP that needs to come back into school the first day back. Please ensure this is completed in full.
3. Arithmetic extension test to complete and return to school. Aim for full marks. No excuses!
4. Spellings to learn: Grand Spell coming up the first week back based on SUMMER SPELLINGS GROUPS 1-9

I’D LIKE YOU TO:

1. A little bit of revision or catch-up learning where you need to – there are a wide variety of resources available to you now: CGP revision books, IXL.COM, the maths links from the Y6 class page, Mymaths and so on. If fractions isn’t your thing, then make it your thing by studying! If you are not the best at co-ordinates, there are plenty of resources out there to practise with.
2. Become an EXPERT SPELLER. Dig out your EXAM NINJA lists – it’s these types of words that will come up in your SPAG test. Be ready to smash it!
3. NOT WORRY. What’s the point? It’s just wasted energy. If you know that you are ready to give it your best and that you have tried hard then that’s all I can ask for. Be in a good state of mind for these tests. Be proud of your efforts and you will feel good about yourself.

Have a great Easter!

Mr Day

Hi everyone,

1. Reading – as usual
2. Maths test ‘Summer 2018’ paper 2 to complete by Wednesday.
3. SPAG worksheets – in yellow homework book – for Monday please.
4. Spellings to learn – gp 8
5. Old tests – look through them. Show your parents. Be proud of your efforts!  Revise areas where you are weakest.

Have a good weekend!

Hi everyone,

A reminder about this week’s homework:

1. Make sure x3 reads recorded by Monday 24th March (since Sunday 17th March)
2. Reading each day next week Mon – Fri – signed and recorded words please.
3. SATs style reading comprehension test to complete – hand in Tuesday checked and signed please.
4. IXL maths – x30 mins minimum – make a full A4 page of notes / diagrams about what you covered. This is due Wednesday 27th.
5. Spellings to learn – gp 5 and 7 summer term.

Also – a reminder about ONLINE gaming / WHATSAPP squabbles and issues: if you take part in any unkind online activity this will not be tolerated. These out-of-school problems are taking far too much time away from learning in school and at a time where your focus should be on achieving your very best exam results, this is unacceptable. All parties to any unkindness or thoughtless actions in these forums will be put directly  into a school ‘reflection’ and parents informed. You have been warned. If in doubt, stay out of these forums or delete yourself from a group in order to stay safe and out of any possible trouble.

Mr Day

Hi all

1. Reading test (due Tuesday)
2. Maths test (due Wednesday)  – both signed please
