Spellings to be practiced this week:
Words with the short vowel sound _i_ spelled ‘y’

Dear Parents and Carers,
We have been very busy in Year 6!
We would first like to congratulate the Year 6 pupils for all of their hard work in the build up to and during SATs week. You have all done an amazing job and we are extremely proud of you.
We are now entering into transition units in Maths and English to prepare the children for Year 7, as well as practicing for the end of year production ‘Aladdin’.
We have assigned some home learning on EdShed for additional Maths and Spelling practice, but what we would like the children to focus on most is learning their lines and lyrics for the production so that we can make it the best one yet!
We hope you have a lovely long weekend in the sun!
Mrs Clarke-Benson and Miss Rashti
