Fifth (SATs) Week Back: Completed 

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.

Year 6,

This week you have completed your unit on fractions, decimals and percentages in maths and your newspaper reports in English. In science, you undertook your experiments and in geography you investigated the pros and cons of different energy sources.

The time has come! I can’t believe I am writing my final blog for you and have been saying my goodbyes (for now). You are an amazing class made up of incredible individuals and I know you are going to do brilliantly with Mr Purvis for your final term at Little Heath. I will make sure to let you know the much anticipated gender and name of baby once they arrive, and once myself and baby are ready, we will pay you a visit.

Both myself and Mrs Stevenson want to say a massive thank you for your generous gifts; we really do appreciate them. 

When the children return to school on Tuesday 14th April, they will begin their swimming lessons in our amazing outdoor pool, which we are very lucky to have set up again this year. Please ensure that your child brings a swimming cap with them for these sessions.
