Year 6 - Remarkable Readers

 


Year 6 - Remarkable Readers

This week, Year 6 have been uplevelling heir reading skills by diving into the different comprehension questions we might encounter and have discussed how to answer them. We have been putting our highlighters to good use by identifying key words in the question to help us create the perfect answer whilst using the text as evidence. We are excited to see how they will continue to apply this to their new Guided Reading text: Skellig.

There was a lot of discussion this week!

Mersea 2026

 


The summer term will soon be upon us and with that our residential trip will be here! The next meeting for the trip will be on Thursday 5th March in the old hall at 3:40 pm. We will be discussing next steps, tent arrangements and any other questions you may have. The year 5 team look forward to seeing you there!

Year 5 Science - Baby Photo Request

 


Spring 2 has sprung upon us and in Science we have begun our new unit ; Animals, including Humans. We will be learning about the Human life cycle, life spans and development stages in humans and animals.

In order to make deeper links to their learning, we would greatly appreciate if, with your permission, each child could bring in a baby photograph of themselves by Monday 2nd March 2026. 


During the lesson, we will discuss what may be the same and what might have changed from the time of the photograph until present day. We will send these back home with the children after the lesson is taught next week.

Many thanks for your support!

Ramadam

 


During this important time of year that many of our parents/carers are fasting, children are also wishing to take part in this religious event as well. As a precaution we are requesting that we have your authorisation to support children for this. Thank you for your support during this time.
