New term

Aren't you glad to be back at school! Lots of new topics to start and a chance to do some learning in the great outdoors (as long as the sunshine lasts!).

What are you looking forward to this term?

Thanks to everyone that worked so hard at making the Nosey Science Day so successful. I was so impressed with your Science activities and hope you learned some new stuff too!

Year Six Science Revision

Hi Year Six!!

If you are looking for some revision materials to help with Science, have a look at this -

http://www.compare4kids.co.uk/learn.php

It is a complete revision scheme, you need to have started by 13th April to have it all complete by SATs week.

Good Luck! Any questions please ask!

Mrs Eames xx

Just a reminder!

I am so pleased that you are all trying blogging! We really value your ideas and comments, after all it is your school!

Just remember be considerate of other people's feelings.
If somebody else wrote unkind things about you how would it make you feel? So don't do it to others!

Also starting your own blogs is great, however, starting a blog to say unkind things about another person is BULLYING and is unacceptable.

Let's all be respectful and considerate of each other, and most importantly have fun!

Any questions, please come and talk to me in school anytime!

Mrs Eames ;-)

I think they are amazing! Slightly Mythical.

Are you getting to grips with blogging?

Have you made your first post yet? How easy was it? Could you explain to another pupil how to do it?

What did you do when school was closed?

Last Thursday school was closed due to all the snow we had! Although trapped at my house all day, I did manage to build a little snow family, bake cookies and do a little bit of work! How about you lot!?! Mrs E x
