This week, we have perfected reading (and in some cases reciting) our extract from Hiawatha. In our next lesson, we are going to use this poem to inspire our own poem about the Big-Sea-Water aka Gitche Gumee aka Lake Superior. I am looking forward to seeing which one wins its author the writing certificate next week. (This week’s certificates will be awarded on Monday morning).

In maths, we have really mastered place value now and have given some serious consideration as to how important it is when we are calculating. Next week, we are going to look at rounding and negative numbers.

My remaining Code-Clubbers from last year had an exciting delivery today. We have purchased a 3D printer to enable us to make some of our Tinkercad creations come to life! Code Club will run for five weeks this half-term, beginning on Monday 23rd (3:15 until 4:15).

If your child would like to attend Code Club, please let the office know via text or complete the form below. Places are limited and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis:  Code Club Form

Information about this week’s homework can be found in the section below.

All the best, Mrs. E.

As promised, below is the link to the leavers’ presentation from our exhibition on Thursday. It was lovely to see you all; the children really enjoyed sharing their many and varied interests with you. I read the comments you wrote on the exit tickets out to them – they were very chuffed!

I have very much enjoyed teaching this year’s Year 6 pupils. They have worked extremely hard and have achieved great success. They are all more than ready for the next step in their education and I wish them all the very best.

We always say that, once you have been a pupil at Stoke-on-Tern, you are always a ‘Stoke-on-Ternian’! We are always happy to see our ex-pupils and we fully welcome return visits from them. If there is any way in which we can be of help or support in the future, please do not hesitate to ask!

It just remains for me to say thank-you for your support over the years. It has been a privilege to be a part of your children’s lives.

Mrs. E.
