Welcome back, from Mrs Clark 

Scarlet Fever 

I know you will have heard and seen things in the media about cases of Scarlet Fever. I want to share some reassurance, facts and advice. At the moment we do not have any positive cases in school.

If you have confirmation from your GP that your child has scarlet fever, please let school know as we will monitor the numbers.

Reading Rocks!

Additional reading at home has proven to boost a child’s school performance, as well as increase vocabulary, build strong communicational skills, improve self-esteem, and spark their imagination.

School of Play, 2020

Please make sure that you read with your children at home every day. Any reading counts: your child’s school reading book, a book you have at home or even reading online! Make sure you write a comment in your child’s reading record. Lots of children are earning prizes for reading at home every day!

You can also read books online using Collins Ebooks. Please ask your child’s class teacher for their log in details.

This week, 6TH took part in a Focus week at IntoUniversity. The children worked together in four teams: the tree kangaroos, the alpine ibexes, the slender-tailed meerkats and the snow monkeys! The teams took part in a range of seminars over the week, learning about each animal and how they are adapted to their environment and writing reports on what they have learned.

On Monday, the children started their seminars about Geography, learning about their group animal. In the afternoon, the children wrote reports and started their secret mission. 

On Tuesday, the children continued to work on their secret mission and created some fantastic posters sharing what they had learned. In the afternoon, the children had a visit from two colleagues from Mott Macdonald, a company that work on a range of projects including improving the biodiversity of areas of the country and took part in some fieldwork in Banstead Park.

On Wednesday, the children spent the day learning about going to university, explored the courses they could study when they are older. The children also shared their own future ambitions.

On Friday, the children visited Leeds University and took a tour of the campus, exploring the learning rooms and accommodation. In the afternoon, the children took part in a graduation ceremony with parents.

Mr. Trower and Mrs. Hopkins are so proud of the children’s engagement and teamwork across the week. Well done 6TH!

It’s great to see you in school!
