Year 6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION and dates

Year 6 

I hope you all found this morning’s Zoom session with the Corbet useful and reassuring. It was lovely lovely to have had 100% of you online.

We have revieiwed our numbers and staff and now are able to let you know a date for having year 6 back in school. This will be week beginning 22.6.20 . The year 6 children will be able to come for full days, but potentially only 2 days per week (either Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday). Once you have told your teacher via dojo whether you want your child to return, we will allocate you the sessions. If the numbers are low, we will be able to have the year 6 group in 4 days a week.  We didn’t think we would be able to start year 6s so soon, but due to low numbers of other other year groups, we are happy we are able to this. It was so important for us to spend some time with them, especially now that we know there will be no face to face transition time at the Corbet.

If your child is a year 6 that is already accessing the keyworker group, they will not be able to go between 2 bubbles. Therefore, you will be asked to let us know whether you would like them to spend 2 days (or possibly 4 days in year 6), or up to 5 days in the keyworker bubble.

Year 6 times will be 8:50 – 3:00 You must not arrive before 8:45 or you will overlap with the other bubbles.

ACTION: let your teacher know via dojo that you want your year 6 to return on 22nd June 

Many thanks,

C. Williams

Highlights From Home – Y5&6 Wednesday 10th June 2020

Good evening,

Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to respond as quick as I’d like to any questions or work that has been sent to me today, due to being with a larger group of key worker children in school. As many of them are a younger age group, they’ve needed quite a lot of support and guidance during the day.

Anyway, I’ve finally caught up now and so here’s the Highlights From Home today.

Wednesday’s 10.6.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

Rhino Daily Challenge – Writing

Acrostic Poetry

An acrostic poem can be fun to create but also quite thought provoking.

To create an acrostic, follow these four easy steps:
  1. Decide what to write about
  2. Write your chosen word vertically down your page
  3. Write a word or a sentence that starts with one of the vertical letters
  4. Repeat for the rest of the vertical letters until your poem is complete

For today’s challenge, I would like you to have a go at writing an acrostic poem for a sport or sports person of your choice. Try and write sentences for each letter rather just choosing one word. Be creative!

Here is an example for one of my favourite sports:

Basketball
B ounce the ball with your head up
A ccuracy is key to scoring a basket
S hoot if you’re open
K eep your mind on the game
E njoy it while you can
T ake it to the basket
B end knees to shoot with power
A lways use the backboard
L ay up shots should never be missed
L earn to play as a team
Don’t forget to send in your work on dojo. I have lots of merits to give out!!!
