Hi Year 6,

As you know, you will sadly not be having a secondary transition day this year. However, your new schools are very keen to get to know you and have asked you to complete a project.

The project is called 'Moving Up' and asks you to prepare a 'Happiness Box' and to do a piece of writing about yourself.

You can then email this back to your new school or take it in to your new school in September. Your new teachers will be very keen to get to know you so make sure you do your best work.

Click on the link below to find the project...

Good luck in your new schools, we will miss you all.

Congratulations to:

6H: Dantay Hart, Ibrahim Ali and Taiseer Hisham Syed 

6P: Al-Sami Afwan, Mohammed Umar Chowdhury, Khalid Osman and Monowara Hoque 

 who are also making excellent progress in their reading!!!

It is vitally important that you continue to read daily especially to prepare you for Secondary school.

See how Year 6 classes are doing in the school league table below!

This takes into account the number of children reading, how many are making good progress and how many are working at their target book band.

Week beginning Monday 6th July 2020

Welcome to another week of activities - we hope you and your family are all safe and well.

Every week we will continue to add daily Reading, Writing and Maths tasks to this Year 6 page. In addition, you can also find work to do on some of the other pages: PE with Joe, Dance with Oti Mabuse, new topic work in the Topic section and Daily riddles to keep your brain busy!

Mrs Sands has also provided Music activities that you can find in the 'Art and Music' section. For those of you in the choir and orchestra, Mrs Sands has provided music tasks to support you at home. You will find these in the 'Choir and Instrumental groups' section below.

Thank you to all the children who have been sending in their work - we have enjoyed reading your biographies and poems and seeing how you have tackled the brain teasers! We will be putting your work up on this page very soon!

Happy learning!

Hello Year 6,

We hope you are all safe and well. We are missing you all very much!

We hope you have had a restful Easter break. By now you should have completed all the tasks we set you (don't worry if you haven't because you can still catch up). From Monday 20th April you will find daily tasks for Reading, Writing and Maths on the tabs below. We will also be adding some very useful links for Topic, PE and other subjects for you to explore. 

We still expect you to keep reading for at least 20 minutes every day on Oxford Reading Buddy and visiting TT Rockstars on a daily basis too. 

Remember you can keep in touch with us if you have any questions by emailing us at: y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives. 

Previous tasks from home-learning packs: 

We hope you have been completing the daily tasks in your home learning packs. Here's a reminder of the work you have been set each day:

1. Complete a reading comprehension from your KS2 English SAT Buster book.

2. Complete an arithmetic test.

3. Tackle some reasoning questions from your Maths packs.

4. Learn 10 spellings from your spelling lists (you can choose which ones).

5. Have a go at some of the SPAG questions in your packs (5 questions per day is great).

Don't forget to read a few pages (or a chapter if you're particularly studious) of Fireweed every day.  Keeping up with your daily reading = developing your reading stamina! 

Happy learning! 

Oxford Reading Buddy

Please can you make sure that your child logs on every week as this is part of their homework.

There are lots of fabulous books to enjoy and we would encourage them to make this a regular habit so that your child learns books are to be enjoyed.

If your child has mislaid their login, please can they request it again from their class teacher. 

We monitor in school how often your child uses the site and it helps us to plan support for your child in school. 

This is an invaluable resource for helping your child continue their learning while at home.

Thank you for your support.
