We are historians!
6B have been historians this afternoon. They have been researching why trains have adapted and changed over the years. They have realised that one of the main reasons is due to the purpose of trains and climate change. The children have written some gorgeous writing which I can’t wait to display on our Expedition display! Well done 6B!

Supporting our local mining memorial
Dennis, the lovely gentleman in charge of Markham main mining memorial, personally invited these three children back to the gardens along with numerous other schools in our area. He wanted to share our anthology of poems with them as he wanted to inspire other schools to write their own. We were so proud when Dennis read out our poem in front of the newspaper representative as well as numerous ex miners and other schools! The children also really enjoyed listening to the Markham main band!

Needed – warm coat for swimming!
Many thanks first of all for those parents who remembered to take out their child’s earrings. Hair is well secured and there is no nail varnish either but…. could all children please bring a coat to school on a swimming day at the moment. I know this may change as the weather gets hotter.
Y6 Harry Potter studios consent form deadline-Friday 14th May!
Thank you so much to those who have signed and returned their consent form for the Harry Potter studios tour. As we need to act quickly to secure our tour, we are only able to book places for those children who have returned their slips by Friday.
We will be raising funds for the children’s tea at the service station on our trip by selling bacon/sausage sandwiches next Friday to 5/6 children. Please remember your £2 next Friday to secure your sandwich. We will also continue to fundraise this summer towards further leavers celebrations. Thank you so much for supporting these fantastic opportunities for your children.

What an amazing crew!
We [Crew Marshmello] have just had an amazing crew session about keeping safe online. The children, yet again, amazed me with their thoughtful comments about how to keep safe – tell parents, talk about things that make you feel uncomfortable as well as what to share/not share on line.
Crew Boseman and Branson also came into class and said they too enjoyed the session. Well done everyone!
Awesome maths this morning!
I need to give all of 6B a shout out for maths learning this morning! We used sweets to support us when finding percentages of amounts. The children were awesome and really grappled with their learning and they really challenged themselves to achieve their ME’s. It’s fantastic to see how their collaboration skills have developed this year and I am so proud! Keep it up superstars!

Sweet Maths!
Today, we have had fun in maths by finding the percentages of the amount of flavoured sweets in a whole bag of Starburst. It really helped the children to visualise what percentages look like and make connections to decimals and fractions. Awesome Maths!
