Everything went swimmingly!

We finally went swimming today and, after a lot of worry and anxiety, all the children really enjoyed the session. No clothes were lost and the children soon became more confident in the water. I was at the 3 foot end with the children who were busy dipping their faces into the water and floating on their backs! It was great to hear all the positive comments from the children when we returned to school while our classroom smelled faintly of chlorine.

Multiplying decimals – we are mathematicians!

Well done 6H for persevering through the assessment week that you have just completed – both calmly and confidently. I didn’t think it was possible to be more proud of you.
Then this morning arrived. Multiplying decimals was our nemesis a week ago. We’ve revisited this today and something has clicked. Keep practising those multiplication facts and your accuracy will improve further still. Well done super stars!

Perfect Poetry!

Our Year 6 Crew have been poets today!  After writing  all about the polish aircraft that crash landed over Hatfield Moors in the style of a newspaper report, the children were challenged to describe the tradgey in a poem, using precise word choices to create impact.

A shout out goes to Mia and also Shang for using alliteration and personification in their writing.

Luke also gets a shout out for writing his poem in first person, as if he is the ghost telling the story.

Keep up the good work, Crew Chapman.

Well done 6H

This week is assessment week and we are experiencing a practise SATs week for the first time this year. Everyone was great today and after the initial shock sank in, or the excitement wore off, all took the surprise in their strides. I am proud of each and every single member of 6H/Crew Piper. So well done guys.

Keep smiling.

Pride of Plover Winner

Last week’s Pride of Plover winner was so happy when she was given her award – I honestly thought that she was going to burst into tears.

Katrina Groom was our winner.  She worked so hard all week long; just like she has done every day since September.  Katrina is one of the most caring young ladies I have ever taught.  She always makes sure that Treasure – one of the boys in our class who has both hearing and visual impairment – is safe and securely seated when he is in class with us.  She has been pushing herself with her knowledge of multiplication facts and is now beginning to see progress in her achievements.  I hope this continues as it is really pleasing to see the pride she has in herself.  Well done Katrina – I’m so proud of you too!
