Calling all Y6s!

We are inviting Y6 pupils from class 6W and 6S to come back to school on Wednesday 15th July so collect any belongings, say goodbye to their teachers and hopefully (if they have arrived!) pick up their leavers books :)

Year 6 pupils from 6W and 6S only will be able to access school grounds via the middle playground gates at 2pm; they will be able to go to tables outside of their classrooms, collect belongings and leavers books, say goodbye to staff and then leave via the field gate. 

Parents may escort children to school but will unfortunately not be allowed on school premises at this time. 

If your child is going to attend may they please wear a white t shirt which you do not mind being decorated by staff :) 

We look forward to seeing pupils and saying goodbye in a socially distanced, fun way! :)

Thursday 25.06.20

Good morning 6W. I hope you are all okay and you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday. It is supposed to be even hotter today so if you do get out of the house, make sure you wear suncream! I'm a little bit burnt so I need to wear more today.

In maths today, I would like you to complete the units of measure sheets. The first 3 pages are all the questions and pages 4,5,6 are the answer for you to check - no cheating though.

In Literacy, this morning it has been announced (thank you Good Morning Britain) that in September schools will welcome back all children. This is fantastic news. Therefore, I would like you to create a newspaper report making this announcement. You will need to have a look on the internet for the information, any rules that are going to be put in place to keep everybody safe, tell the reader who made the decision and get some quotes from people on how they feel about the decision (good and bad, balance your article).

I have also put a checklist of things you need to include and a powerpoint reminding you how to write a newspaper articles. 

Enjoy the weather

Wednesday 24.06.20

Good morning. The weather is beautiful today so you will have a bit of home learning but then you can go and enjoy the sun - no sitting in on computer games. They are for rainy days.

Today's math is dividing fractions - remember the rule. Same, change and flip.

You have also got dividing fractions by whole numbers. Remember, turn the whole number into a fraction.

In Literacy, you have been given a picture of a spooky forest. I would like you to create a settings description, ensuring it is scary and you hold suspense throughout. Remember your descriptive features - adjectives, adverbs, similes, metaphors, personification and onomatopoeia.

I look forward to seeing all your hard work.

Have a nice day!

Hello 6W!

I hope you are all okay! It's been a while since I spoke to most of you on the phone. It was lovely to speak to you and find out a little bit about what you have all been doing and how much home learning you have (or haven't in some cases) been doing. I will be calling again on Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th to see how you have been getting on and to find out what you have been up to. 

School is very different with only 12 year 6's in at the moment. Hopefully we will be returning to normal soon, as long as it is safe.

Missing you all. 

Mrs Wilson x

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we obviously can't have our class photos this year Mrs Hindle is putting together a class photo for each class as a lasting memory of this time!

If you would like to have your child added to their class photo I need you to send a head shot (from the shoulders up) of your child to ...6T@newmoston.manchester.sch.uk
(By doing this you are giving your consent to share your child's photo with other parents.)

I would need these no later than FRIDAY 19TH JUNE!

There is no uniform to the image you send just a clear smiling head shot of your cherubs! (Please no snapchat style filters!)

Thank you 

Mr Wilson

Hi everyone!

Hi everybody, I hope you are doing well and not missing school too much. Me and Mrs Parr are missing seeing your smiling faces in the morning.

I hope you are enjoying completing your home learning - I know you have plenty to do :). Since school has been closed, I have been busier than ever - Mia is having me run around after her. Being in school is a lot easier and definitely less tiring. 

I look forward to seeing you all again soon. 

In the meantime, stay safe indoors, be kind and keep on being the best that you can be and don't give your parents and carers too much of an headache.

 I'm an evacuee... Get me out of here!!!!!!

As an introduction to our latest topic, WWII, 6W became evacuees for the day at Tatton Park. Whilst there, they got to see what life was like for real evacuees in the village and spent the day carrying out jobs that children would have had to do during the war including: milking cows, polishing saddles and blinkers of horses and learning about other tasks expected of them. They also got to try out different games that people played for entertainment whilst experiencing an air raid siren and visiting a shelter for safety. The children learnt lots of valuable information they will be able to apply to this topic as well as having  wonderful experience throughout the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day, thank you Tatton Park. 

UKS2 Environment Alert! - Freshwater Theatre Company

On Tuesday and Wednesday, UKS2 had a special visit from the Freshwater Theatre Company to highlight all the dangers faced by the environment. During their session, 6W learnt all about the environment, the dangers posed to it and the causes behind it. Whilst learning, they had to be as dramatic as possible acting out dangers. They also created a transformation machine, giving them the opportunity to recycle old materials into new, much needed objects such as chairs. 6W had a fantastic time being very dramatic whilst taking lots of learning away from the session to apply to the rest of their topic.

Below are numerous photos from the session of the children acting.

Thanks

Mr Wilson

6W are saving the environment - 1 piece of plastic at a time

As part of our new topic, the children have been learning all about plastic and the danger it poses to the environment. Taking this into account, 6W have been making their own bio-degradeable plastic that won't end up in the ocean damaging marine wildlife or bleaching coral and won't be sent to another country to be dumped into a landfill site and burnt. Below, the children are making their bio plastic and an example set of instructions the children made on how to make the plastic if you are interested.
