WK 4 - Ready

After an incredibly successful week, Year 6 are ready to jump into week 4! I’m looking forward to catching up with you all on Monday during our parent consultations. Have a great weekend.

Half Term Project – My Hero

For our final half-term project, I would like the children to think about their real-life superhero. This could be a relative, a friend, a neighbour or celebrity/ famous person who has genuinely inspired them. The children will be asked to create a brief fact-file about this person  (when and where they were born, achievements, interesting facts and reasons why they are their heroes). We are going to be encouraging the children to interview (if possible) their real-life heroes in class so prepare yourself for an interview!

*Please note that we have explained to the children that their heroes cannot be fictional characters.

Return Deadline for this project will be the final week of the term.

Production

As we continue to perfect our Year 6 production, please ask your children about their costumes, props or resources that they may need. Also, please encourage the children to rehearse their lines and perform them at home to help build their expression, volume and confidence.

The Apprentice

The year 6 will be developing their entrepreneurial skills this half-term as they look to build a successful business. The children are familiar with the rules of the project but please ask them questions about how they are going to be profitable, efficient and professional throughout – perhaps by discussing their business plans with them and encouraging them to think BIG. Remember not to donate anything more than your support to their businesses otherwise you’ll be FIRED!

PGL

PGL was a massive success – the children were an absolute credit to their parents and their school. It was a privilege being part of the Little Heath team: so many of the PGL staff commented on how amazing, brave and polite the Year 6 children had been. Well done to all of you at home for your guidance and support.

Half Term Project – My 1, 5 and 10 Year Plan -  Due Friday 22nd May

Due to a timetabling error on my part, the date for the half-term project has been brought forward to this Friday. I have already spoken to the class about expectations so please remind the children that they can either present using the computer, a poster or orally.

For this half-term project, we are going to be exploring life after Little Heath Primary School. In class we have started thinking about what we would like to do in the future, from achieving targets by July to life in our 20s. I would like the children to create a three-part presentation which explains their goals for a year from now, five years from now and ten years from now. They can consider potential learning targets, new behaviours, hobbies and even careers. It is important that the children research what each goal or target entails (qualifications, personal attributes, time spent to achieve, cost implications, etc.). Each presentation should be no more than 2-3 minutes so please don’t worry about preparing mountains of information. Remember that this is all about the children considering and understanding what they need to do to reach their own aims.

We will be presenting our plans this week.
