This term in Year 6 we are looking in fractions. We started the week by re-visiting our previous learning of common factors.

Whilst the weather has been pretty grim, it hasn’t deterred or affected our attitude to learning.

An incredibly busy but exciting time, and that’s before we even mention the small matter of a football game next Tuesday – did someone say it’s coming home?

This week, we have been learning about equivalent fractions and how to compare fractions that have different denominators. Our multiplication and divisions facts have helped hugely with this and are now so sharp, that we have some members of our class who can answer 20 questions quicker than Usain Bolt can run 100m (9.58 seconds)!!

The whole of Year 5 and 6 enjoyed a thoroughly informative and thought provoking trip to the D-Day museum last week. Myself, and the other teachers were very impressed with how the children conducted themselves during the Home Front workshop and they were a credit to the academy.

Hi everyone, It has been my pleasure this week to have been part of Year 6 SATs week at St Francis. Yet again the Year 6 children have been super stars, in the way they have participated in all aspects of what can be a ‘testing’ week in more ways than one. Their behaviour has been a credit to them and their effort and attitude deserves the highest praise. The children have worked hard all year to prepare themselves and now need time to chill-out with some hard earned R&R! (Rest and Relaxation). On behalf of St Francis, I would like to take this opportunity to firstly thank all of the dedicated staff, who arrived early each morning, to make each ‘SATs breakfast’ such a success. In particular I would especially like to thank Miss Richardson for her conscientious work in ensuring the highest standards of Hygiene were maintained in the kitchen, Mrs Sparrow who has no equal when buttering bread at supersonic speed, Mrs Bone and Mrs Rooney who seemed to be everywhere when needed, and of course Mrs Sharp who provide a range of breakfast goodies, helping to give all the children the best start to the day. I would also like to all of you parents, guardians and relatives because your help in preparing and supporting the children throughout the year and by ensuring that they were in school on time every day, has been vital towards the children’s success this week – thank you all! Finally, even though SATs is over, Year 6 isn’t and there are a lot more exciting experiences to come this year. Look out for more information in the school newsletter and let’s all continue to ensure that your child continues to experience a great year. We are still rocking at St Francis – Booyakasha … Best wishes, The Year 6 Team

This year so far has been an exciting adventure in Kites Class. We have been fortunate to eventually welcome a new member, Madison, I say eventually because she was supposed to arrive at the beginning of September but she didn’t arrive until the end of the month! We had almost given up but it was worth the wait. In the mornings, as we are a mixed class of Year 5 and Year 6 children, we go our separate ways for our English and Mathematics lessons. Some of our Year 5 pupils are enjoying some exciting work with Mr Clark; the others with some of our Year 6 pupils are enjoying their work with Mrs Ridett. The rest of our Year 6 pupils are joined by the majority of other Year 6 pupils from Kestrels and Buzzards and we are working hard to meet the challenging targets for this year – so bring it on! As this year has progressed we in Kites have taken part in many extracurricular activities. Some of us have learnt to ride a bike (some of us knew how to already but we can do it better now!). Our Year 6 children had an exciting day at UKSA learning to sail. It will be a long time before many of us will forget the sight of Mrs Rann and Mrs Sparrow (wearing their sporty wet-suits) sailing-off majestically into the Solent, before being rounded-up by the rescue boats! We have also engaged in Academy events such as the Harvest Festival for parents and we are looking for- ward to celebrating the forthcoming festive season this year. All in all it has been a great start to the year.
