Hello and a very big warm welcome to year six, Oak class. You have all grown physically and educationally  since year one and two and I am so excited to be your teacher again as you enter your final year at Newtown Primary School. Alongside me, we will have Mrs Phillips working her magic every day. Mrs Freiman will be teaching oak class on a Thursday afternoon and all day on a Friday whilst I develop the curriculum in the school.

Year six is a very challenging year academically but also socially; with SATs and secondary school getting increasingly closer the children will feel the pressure. However, my aim is to make the year fun and memorable and ensure that the children leave Newtown as well prepared for their next journey as possible. The children will have many fun opportunities this year with a residential trip to Braeside, other topic related excursions as well as organising and leading events within the school. Yes it will be hard work, but it most definitely will be rewarding and my only rules are that everyone tries their best and that they are kind in all they do.

We are a team in Oak class and we will work together to build the best possible mindset to ensure we all achieve our potential. All children will be encouraged to grab opportunities with both hands and push themselves out of their comfort zone to find new hidden strengths. In the words of AA Milne:

“You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

 

Key things to remember:

  • PE kit needs to be in school every day
  • Children are expected to read daily and record this in the back of their learning destination book. Parents please listen to them as often as possible.
  • Before reading in the evening, children must practise their weekly spellings (these are tested on a Friday)
  • Maths homework will be set weekly and is linked to what the children are learning about in class. Sometimes this will be a worksheet, other times it will be an electronic game on Abacus like last year.
  • The learning destination book can be used for any additional home learning that your child may wish to do. This can be linked to the current topic or something else that your child is interested in. All learning will be recognised and celebrated.

 

Let’s get this year started!

Helping the homeless

Term three has arrived and the children have come back full of enthusiasm. Two children that have worked incredibly hard are our youth parliament representatives Ellie and Lucas. On Friday 24th January, they are taking part in a sleep out at the town hall to raise awareness and much needed funds for the homeless in the local area. This is supported by the charity Alabare. Year six, will also be holding a cake sale on the same day in Newtown hall after school. Please donate cakes and come along and support this important event. If you wish to donate towards the sleep out event, please go to just giving page www.justgiving.com/fundraising/newtown-primary-school 

How our body works

Year 6 have been busy the last two weeks learning about how the body works. Our science topic has links to the book we are reading in class – Pig Heart Boy. Not only have we learned all about the composition of blood and the functioning of the heart but also the role of all the different organs in the body. To understand a bit more about how the body works we have looked at osmosis and have planned an investigation which will show osmosis in action. We are looking forward to carrying this out next week!

Christmas Festival

Year six have been busy prepping for the annual Christmas tree festival at St James’s Church. Yesterday the smell of Christmas definitely arrived at Newtown as the smell of cooked oranges, cloves and cinnamon wafted through the building. We have also created detailed pebble decorations to make the Newtown tree spectacular. I’m sure you’ll agree that they are fabulous. Please come along and see/smell the Newtown Oak class tree in St James' church from next Tuesday 3rd December - Saturday 7th December 10-4pm. Thank you all. Miss Fisher and Oak class. 

Year six were set a challenge to produce a piece of home-learning over the holidays linked to their new topic about volcanoes. They really aimed high with some fantastic models made from modroc, clay and papier-mâché complete with exploding lava! Some children chose to deliver a fantastic power point presentations (even in dual language!) whilst others chose art work and explanation texts. The standard was very high and the children were buzzing with enthusiasm to start off this new topic. Thank you children for all your hard work and parents for all your support and enthusiasm with home learning. You’re all phenomenal. 

Year six are off to a flying start showing off their tremendous writing skills. The past week, they have worked tirelessly to draft, redraft and publish an aspirational piece of writing about the year ahead. The key questions they had to answer through their paragraphs were:

How do you learn best?

What would your ideal teacher be like?

What are your aspirations for the year ahead in preparation for secondary school?

Here are just two incredible examples of the writing produced.
