You should all be great at spelling these words now. But just to make sure, why not challenge yourself to write them all accurately?

Many parents sent written confirmation in Year 5 that you were happy for your child to walk home alone.  To ensure that we keep all children safe, if you have not already confirmed this is still your wish with your child's Year 6 teacher, can you do so as soon as possible.  This can be either in a letter or an email. Many thanks.

If you have any spare time, continue working on the spelling of these tricky words. It is our aim to be able to use these in our writing by the end of the year.

Being able to accurately spell the Common Exception Words from Years 3 and 4 makes up part of our writing framework for Year 6. We have just completed a check on the words and are sending home a highlighted sheet of words that your child is unsure of at this time. If you have any spare time, looking at these words again would be beneficial.

New fairytale musical! Cinderella, Prince Charming, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel & Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf – we know them all so well, or at least we think we do!
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, revered tale writers and compilers, are applauded by their villainous fairytale characters at the annual Villains’ Convention for their unhappy endings, where the baddies always come out on top! However, tired of their constant misfortune, the goodies decide to band together and fight for their own happy ending. Suddenly, the baddies aren’t getting their own wicked way all the time – and boy are they unhappy about it!
This magical mash-up of Grimm fairy tales and much-loved, whimsical characters is a laugh-a-minute, complete with nine evocative, oh-so-catchy songs perfectly pitched for primary-age performers.
‘The script is packed with lively dialogue and good gags and The School Musicals Company have that admirable knack of writing songs that really hit the sweet spot. These tunes are bound to get feet tapping and hearts glowing.’ TEACH PRIMARY MAGAZINE - MAY 2026
