Wednesday Year 6 Production - change of time

# data[].attributes.subject
Wednesday Year 6 Production - change of time

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the World Cup semi-final fixture, the Wednesday performance of the Y6 Leavers' production will now start at 5.30pm.

Please can the children arrive between 5.00-5.15pm?

If you ae not staying for the performance, please collect your child prompting at 6:45pm. Thanks.

The Tuesday performance will start at the original time of 6.00pm with the children being asked to arrive between 5.30-5.45pm.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a very busy week ahead so here is a summary of things pupils and families may need to know:

Bags for books- please send sturdy carrier bags in tomorrow if you haven’t already done this so that children can bring their books home over the next couple of days.

Hoodies - whilst the children are allowed to wear leavers’ hoodies to school this week, it is going to be hot so please make sure they have their school t-shirt underneath so they can take the hoodie off as the heat increases.

Shirt signing - some of the children have asked if they can bring white shirts in for teachers and pupils to sign. This can be done from Wednesday onwards but they should bring the shirt in a bag rather than wear it as the pens have a tendency to go through to the children’s skin otherwise.

Fun Day - our fun day takes place during the school day on Thursday. Children do not need to bring lunch as we will be providing a BBQ and ice creams. This is a non-school uniform day but please make sure that clothes are suitable for playing outside etc.

Production - our year 6 production will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings this week. We will start at 6pm on Tuesday so please could children arrive at school between 5:30-5:45pm so that we can make sure they are changed and ready to perform at 6? The running time is approximately 1 hour and 15mins. We may move the time of Wednesday’s production slightly earlier as many families will want to get home in time for the football and we will confirm these timings tomorrow. If you have not already returned your ticket slip, please do so by tomorrow at the latest to guarantee tickets being available for your family.

Leaver’s assembly - on Friday, we will hold a leaver’s assembly at 11:30am in the school hall. Parents and family members are welcome to join us and, after the assembly, year 6 will gather on the playground for final photos etc before being invited to join the rest of the school on the field for a picnic if they wish. If parents/carers wish to take their children home early, please ensure that the class teacher is aware and please note that children will only be allowed to go with their own parents/carers unless the school has been notified of alternative collection arrangements in writing. Children will not be able to leave school early without an adult.

Finally, don’t forget that it is sports day on Wednesday morning - details can be found in the school newsletter.

I think that’s all for now. Thanks so much for your support in helping this final week go as smoothly as possible.

Please could those children who will be wearing costumes for the production, bring them into school by Thursday 9th July? Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
Leaver's hoodies have been given out today to those children who ordered them. They are allowed to bring them to school and wear them during the last week of term but please do not send them in next week. As it is likely to be warm again at the end of term, please ensure that they still wear a school t-short underneath so that they can take their hoodie off if they are hot. Thank you for your help with this.

# data[].attributes.body
A hard copy of this letter has been handed out today. Please send the reply slip in at the start of next week to ensure that we allocate tickets correctly.

Thank you,

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, we would like to say a huge thank you to all families for the amazing efforts with fundraising for our fun day. We have exceeded our target and have booked what we hope will be a really lovely day for the children with lots of activities and treats. Secondly, please accept our apologies for the delay in posting any photos of the fundraising events - we have been having a few technical difficulties! Attached are some photos from 6 Willow’s fundraising and photos from Redwood and Spruce will follow as soon as possible. Once again, huge thanks to all of these families who helped contribute to this and we look forward to celebrating the end of term with you in just a couple of weeks.

Year 6 Production:

As published in the newsletter and on the school calendar, the Year 6 leavers' production will be held on Tues 14th and Wed 15th July at 6pm. We have scheduled 2 performances to enable as many families as possible to come and share this experience. Children will need to be available to perform on both evening. Details about timings and tickets will follow shortly.

Year 6 Leaver's Assembly:

We will be holding a short assembly at 11:30a.m. on Friday 17th July as a final celebration and farewell to Year 6. We would love it if families could join us and there will then be the opportunity to take photos and say farewell as a year group on the playground before moving to the field where the whole school will be holding a picnic (more details to follow).

# data[].attributes.body
I have attached a copy of the costume list in case any families didn't receive it.

This morning we had a visit from a 999 call handler to make sure that children know what to do in an emergency, how to call the emergency services and when it is not appropriate to call. This is part of the support we offer children when they are about to transition to secondary school as many of them will have more independence and be out in the community with less supervision so they need to know how to cope if the unexpected happens. A big thank you to Ellie for making it a fun session and helping us all feel more confident about being out and about in our community!

# data[].attributes.body
As we have had a very busy and hot week, we will roll the spellings over to next week to give the children more time to practise when their brains are a little cooler!

As we are currently reading Percy Jackson, we decided to play a game of Capture the Flag. Children designed flags suitable for Ancient Greek warfare and the children who produced the winning designs became team captains. Thank goodness it wasn't as hot as it is today when we played!

On Wednesday, children with some specific roles will bring home a slip of paper with details of the costume they will need for their part in the production. We have tried to keep the costumes as simple as possible and they should be mainly achievable using things you will have at home. If your child does not bring home a slip on Wednesday, they will be playing the part of a pupil so will need to wear normal school uniform.

If you have any questions about costumes, please contact Mrs Shiell at lshiell@telfordjunior.co.uk.

Thanks.

Summer 2 Home Learning and Gold Journey Badge

# data[].attributes.body
Home learning will look slightly different for the final half term. All children will be expected to complete enough activities on the attached grid to earn 20 points. For those children who have earned their bronze and silver badges and are now going for gold, they need to complete the highlighted activities before Monday 6th July. This will earn them their gold badge plus a 30 min head-start on all of the Fun Day activities. Please let the sun shine on 16th July!

# data[].attributes.body
Later this week, we will be launching a sponsorship activity for the children to raise money for their Year 6 Fun Day on Thursday 16th July. We are aware that the school has also launched the Sports for Champions fundraising activity this week and wanted to reassure Year 6 families that we do not expect you to fundraise for both. We have spoken with all of the Year 6 pupils to explain that years 3, 4 and 5 will lead the sports fundraising and Year 6 will focus on sponsorship for their Fun Day. They will still take part in all of the Sports for Champions activities and, obviously, if you wish to donate to both you are very welcome to do so. More information about the Year 6 Fun Day will follow shortly. Thanks so much for your support with this.

We have been incredibly proud of how hard the children have worked in their SATS tests this week and would like to reward them with a rather more relaxed Friday than usual tomorrow. Children are welcome to bring in board games to play during the day if they wish but please make sure that they do not bring in anything that is very valuable or special as things can get damaged at school. Thanks for your help with this.

# data[].attributes.body
Over the next couple of days, your child will bring home a list of fruit which they would like to include in their Caribbean-themed fruit salad. Some of the children have written quite long lists so please don't feel that you need to buy all of the items - 3 or 4 different fruits will be plenty. Below is a list of items that your child will need to bring in on the day:

Fruit (see list) - this does not need to be prepared in any way as one of the skills we will be teaching the children is how to peel and slice fruit safely.

A container with a lid to transport the fruit salad home in.

An apron, if possible - the school has some which children can borrow if they do not have one at home.

The classes will be making their fruit salads on the following days:

Spruce - Tues 19th May

Willow- Wednesday 20th May

Redwood - Thursday 21st May.

If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's class teacher and we will do our best to help.

Thanks.

Trialling key stage 2 national curriculum mathematics assessment materials

Some of the children in Year 6 have been working hard today testing the maths tests of the future. The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) is doing this work for the Standards and Testing Agency (STA), which is part of the Department for Education. Each year, the STA asks a sample of schools to trial potential future SATs tests with a representative sample of pupils and schools across the country. The children and school will not receive the results of these tests as the purpose is to test the tests and not the children. All of this has been explained to the children who have taken part today and we just want to say that we have really appreciated the effort they have put in to helping the Department for Education and Year 6 pupils in the future.  Well done, Year 6!

A number of children have started to bring squash or juice to school in their water bottles. Please could we remind all families that our school policy is that children need water with them in class each day rather than flavoured or sugary drinks.

Could we please also remind you that children should remain in full school uniform (including black or white trainers rather than brightly coloured ones) until the end of the school year? There are still over four months of the school year left so children will get a lot of wear out of any uniform items even if they need replacing at this point. Thank you for your support with this.

# data[].attributes.body
This week, the children are taking their final set of practice SATs in preparation for the real tests which take place in the week beginning 11th May. We are aiming to have marked the grammar, spelling and reading papers by the end of this week so that they children can bring them home over Easter to look through them with their families and revise any areas that they are unsure about. Maths papers will be given back in the week after the Easter holidays and sent home at that point. We will publish the expected scores on the Padlet later this week as well as a link to the marking scheme.

We are on our way and all going well. Should be back at 5:30pm

# data[].attributes.body
Just a few reminders about the trip on Tuesday:

Pupils need to be at school at 7:15am. Please make sure that they have had breakfast and been to the toilet before they arrive. Coaches will leave at 7:30a.m.

All children will need a packed lunch and a drink as well as a waterproof coat. They will be carrying their own bag all day so it would be a good idea to put lunches in a disposable bag rather than a bulky lunchbox. Water fountains are available at the Tower to refill bottles if needed.

Children must not bring mobile phones, cameras or smart watches, in line with our normal school policies, due to safeguarding risks as well as the risk of valuables going missing.

Full school uniform needs to be worn throughout the trip.

Please ensure any children who need travel sickness medication have been given it before they arrive at school and that the tablet for the return journey is given to a staff member with a completed medication consent form on arrival at school.

As mentioned in Thursday’s Padlet post, all children need to be collected from school by an adult and, if this is not going to be the child’s parent or carer, please let their class teacher know as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help and support with this trip. We hope the children really enjoy it and are looking forward to a fabulous day out.

We hope to arrive back at school at approximately 5pm on Tuesday but will keep you updated via this Padlet page if we are running late (or even early!).

Please note that, as it will be dark by the time we return, children will not be allowed to walk home alone and must be collected by an adult. If they are to be collected by an adult who is not their parent/carer (e.g. a friend's parent), please make sure that you have let your child's class teacher know before the day of the trip. We are not able to send children home with different adults unless we have their parent or carer's specific permission. Thank you for your help with this.

No home learning this week - enjoy the break!

# data[].attributes.body
As you are probably aware, the children had their first experience of practice SATs papers this week. We were really pleased with how well they focused and how much they have learned already. As we explained at the parent info evening, we do not give the children back their papers or share marks with them for this set of tests. The purpose of the tests at this stage in the year is to help the children get used to the test conditions and to inform the teachers about particular strengths or gaps in their learning from previous years to help us target these areas in our teaching over the next few months. We do not return the papers at this stage as we don't want the children to be worried if there are areas that they don't understand or their score is lower than the expect - it is only the Autumn term and so we have not taught all of the topics yet and do not expect them to be working at end of year 6 level!

When we do further practice test in the spring, we will return both the scores and the papers so that the children can work through them at home to address any areas that they are still unsure about.

Thank you for your support with this and we hope you all have a relaxing half term.

The Year 6 Team
