Hello Class Turquoise,

Welcome back to our class page, I hope that you have had a lovely half term.

I am so pleased that we are now in a position to begin to see some of you back in the classroom again (some of you on Monday 1^st June and some on Monday 8^th June), and I am very much looking forward to seeing you and teaching you again. I am sure that you must be wondering what our class will look like when you return. To help you with this, I have put some photographs below to help you to get a feel for our (for now) new normal. The classroom does look a little different – you have a table each, with your tray full of books and your own stationery set full of everything you will need. The walls are a little less full, but they are still colourful and ready to welcome you back. As always, I will be there with a smile on my face and a song in my heart, and I will be joined by Mrs Izzard – what more could you ask for?

If you are not coming back this week, please don’t worry. We will still be uploading some fabulous learning activities for you all on our class page and the blog will continue to welcome any sharing of work. I am looking forward to seeing what you are all doing just as much as being back in the classroom with others. 

Whether you will be learning in class, or learning from home, we are still one Class Turquoise and a great team.

Enjoy the sunny weekend,

Mrs Tomlin

Welcome to Class Turquoise!

In Year 6, we are really developing responsibility for ourselves and others. We have lots of opportunities to work independently and let our personalities shine.

Our curriculum is linked across subjects to make it meaningful, purposeful and exciting. We will upload each theme overview so that you can see what teaching and learning will be taking place.

Please feel free to drop in and see Mrs Tomlin if you have any concerns or just a question or two. We will always welcome offers from parents to support in the classroom, whether for the occasional day or on a more regular basis.

A few reminders

• P.E is on Mondays and Tuesdays (outdoor). A full  outdoor P.E kit is expected to be in school for them to wear so that they can fully participate.
• Spelling homework is given out every second Thursday and due in on the Tuesday two weeks later.
• Three in a Row Homework is given out once every half term and a letter will be sent home with more details. The most recent Science homework project can be found below.
• All children have a Times Table Rock Stars log-in and we encourage them to practise these at home.
• All children have a library pin and can exchange their books at school when needed. We do encourage the children to use the library regularly and independently. Even though your child may be a fluent reader, it is still very important that they are reading regularly at home and discussing what they have read.
