Welcome!!

Welcome to the Year5/6 blog for the coming school year.

In this blog you will find up to date information about school, advice and guidance about your homework and anything else that is of relevance to Y5/6 pupils. In time, I hope that this blog will develop into a celebration of our work together, a representation of your enthusiasm in school and show the progress you have made in 2011-12.

Only 1 week to go!

I am beginning to put together ideas for next term and am planning a visit to Wroxeter Roman City early to mid  September.  This will support our learning about the Romans which forms one element of our overall Super Mario Brothers topic.  PE will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays and it is hoped that guitars will carry on on Thursday afternoons.  I have place a link for Wroxeter in the useful links part of the blog for you to look at.

A fantastic read!

We will begin next term by writing a quest in literacy.  Our focus text will be The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.  This is a text that I studied at school. Try and get a copy from the local library if you can.  If not try to find out something about the story to share when we return to school.

Super Mario Brothers - A Fantastic Topic Choice!

I have tried to get the link to work on the blog but failed miserably.  Never mind, you can still get to Super Mario Brothers by using the Google search box.

Nice to see so many visitors!

Well done for visiting the blog.  Don't forget to complete your homework in your sketch books for tomorrow morning.
