Hawk Owls Y6

Welcome to Hawk Owls!

 

Welcome back to the Summer Term.

 

I hope you have all had a wonderful, restful Easter holidays and have had fun in the sunshine.

Hopefully, you are feeling refreshed and ready to continue your final primary year. 

Our journey together will continue to be challenging but remember you all have the knowledge and understanding - you just now need to apply all of this in different ways. It's not tricky really, just think about building the best sandcastles ever!

 

This year we have lots to look forward to -  our residential visit and our performance in the summer term and of course showing off our amazing talent. 

 

This week:

Residential Meeting - Wednesday 24th May in Hawk Owls at 3:30pm and 6pm. If you have any questions please come along.  

Spelling -  we will be focusing on words that we find tricky to spell that are specific to each of us. 

Maths - we will use our mental arithmetic skills to solve problems.. 

English - we will continue to draft, edit and polish our Shakespearean themed poems.

 

PE

Hawk Owl’s PE lessons will be on a Tuesday and Thursday this term. Please come into school in your PE kit ready for these lessons. This term, you will be focusing on athletics and rounders, both will be outside. Please make sure you have a change of indoor shoes for the rest of the day whilst you are in the classroom and school building and that all of your kit is labelled with your name. Remember earrings must be covered or removed. 

 

Reading

In Hawk Owls, we have an extensive range of exciting books which you are more than welcome to borrow and enjoy at home or in the classroom. We have a signing out book which you can fill in with the book you would like to borrow to help us keep track of our lovely books. Once you have returned this book, you can then sign out a new one. You are also welcome to bring in your own books from home. I would suggest writing your name in the front so we can easily return it to you if it wanders around the classroom. 

Will you take on the year 6 reading challenge? Or maybe you'll choose to read one of the top 100 books you should read before you leave Primary School. 

 

Spelling

We will work on our spellings in class during our early morning work and as a weekly informal spelling test. For those of us who find spellings a little difficult, a mixture of year 6 and individual spelling words will be given. 

 

Homework

This year I am changing the format of the year 6 homework. Every Thursday/Friday you will receive a sheet with short tasks or questions relating to our lessons in SPaG, maths and English. Each task can be completed on its own therefore, hopefully, making it easier to complete for those of you who are busy with out of school activities. Please attempt each task but always ask me for help if you are unsure. Homework will be handed out on a Thursday/Friday and should be placed in the homework tray by the following Wednesday. 

You all now have your own revision books for maths and SPaG - you will be asked to complete certain pages linked to our class work. We will work through these together in lesson time so that we all have a secure understanding. 

For those of you who like to complete more homework, you will find our topic homework grid below. Some of these activities may need a week or two to complete. Any topic homework you do bring in will be celebrated and added to our display!

 

Mrs Grayshon will be in class with us every morning from Monday - Thursday. 

 

I’m really looking forward to supporting you throughout this year, so please come and talk to me if you have any worries however great or small.

 

If your grown-ups have any queries or concerns this term, they are more than welcome to contact me via the school office at office@gmilton.org or come and speak to me at the end of the day.

 

Here's to a great year

Mrs Green
