Well the children have had a fantastic start to the year! We are certainly enjoying our new classroom and taking on new responsibilities. This week we have been revising place value in Maths and thinking about persuasive texts in English. In spite of the long break, they have written like demons! Well done Year 6! Our new topic is all about the world and we really enjoyed finding out about geographical terms and looking at atlases in more depth. Super start – well done Year 6!

The excitement is building up for Marrick! If you could not get to the meeting and have any questions, do please get in touch! You should receive a pack from you child even if you could not attend the recent meeting.

Ms Taylor

Yr 6 SATs

The year 6 team (Mrs Fox, Mrs Spedding and Mrs Strickland) would like to say a huge well done and thank you to all of year 6 for their amazing attitudes and effort during SATs week. You have done us and yourselves proud. Thank you also to parents for the support you have given our pupils at home in the run up to SATs. The progress your children have made since September is phenomenal - whatever the outcome of the tests!


We are looking forward to a jam-packed and exciting last term of school!

Fabulous French

This half term we have been learning the days of the week and food vocabulary. We have put all this learning to practise by reading 'The Hungry Caterpillar' in French and creating our own simple  versions. Here are some photos of the process.

This week's newsletter

This week we have been getting to grips with mental calculation methods for addition and subtraction in Maths and we are learning to recall our number facts quickly to help us with this. In English we have been looking more deeply into how to write persuasive paragraphs and have also focussed on the correct grammatical terms to use to build an impressive persuasive argument. In Science we have written explanations of how the circulatory system works. In French we created out own versions of La chenille qui fait des trous (ask the children what this is!) After finishing our work on perspective, the children were very excited to see the progress they had made from September – examples will be on the website soon!

This week's newsletter paragraph

We have another busy week in class 6 and the children are now getting to grips with the high expectations of work and pace in this year group. We have continued our work on large numbers in Maths and have been rounding these numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000 and 10,000,000! How amazing are we? In English we have been writing persuasive letters in pairs, imagining that a factory was going to be opened on the site of Marrick Priory! We have produced some very passionate writing! In PE we have begun our unit on netball as well as continuing Tag Rugby and in Science we have been getting our heads around how our heart works. We also continued to work on getting perspective into our drawing, this week focussing on buildings. Our confidence in French continues to develop, this week reading The Hungry Caterpillar in French!
