This year, it is so important that children are completing weekly spellings, reading and homework at home to help them prepare for SATS. Children are expected to read 5 times over the week. Homework will be given out on a Monday and returned on a Friday. Spellings will be given on a Monday, with the test happening on a Friday. Please ask your children what the new spelling rule is this week!  If, for any reason, children cannot complete their weekly homework/reading/spellings, please provide a reason in the child’s personal organiser.

Children in Need 2024

15.11.24

Today, we looked on the website https://www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/changing-lives/changing-lives-near-you/ to see how Children in Need has impacted our local community. These included £15,000 for Junction Arts in Bolsover, £43,200 for Primary Wellbeing in Mansfield and £44,880 for Mansfield Town Football. We spent some of the day doing some Children in Need themed Maths Challenges set by White Rose Education, and we also did a silent walk around the daily mile track to think about all the children across the UK and the World that are less fortunate than ourselves. We had many discussions throughout the day about what Children in Need meant, and figured out that our class alone have raised enough money to buy 34 Hygiene Packs for children in poverty!!! Well Done Year 6!!
