Year 6 Blog

I have got loads of books ready to read, what are you going to read? Have you got any recommendations for the year group?

We are collecting the Flora-Cooking with Schools vouchers.

With these vouchers we can buy ourselves lots of new cooking equipment. 

You will find vouchers on packs of flora.

When you have a voucher, either bring it into school and give it to Miss Dakin or get online (www.cookingwithschools.com), find our school and register it.

It’s easy to register your tokens for your school 

Simply go online to www.cookingwithschools.com, find your school, register 

the token code against your school, and the value will go straight into the 

school’s account.

Well done everyone!

We had a fabulous time in Liverpool, especially sailing on the River Mersey.

The museum was great. I learnt so much!

What was the most interesting thing that you found out on our visit?

Hi everyone,

As part of our Ecoschools work in school, we are collecting any old football kits (shirts, socks, shorts, boots) for charity. If you donate any old kit, it will be given to children in countries such as Africa and Romania, so that they can reuse it.

If you would like to donate any football kits, children’s or adult’s, then please bring them into school and put them in the basket in Miss Dakin’s room.

Thanks everyone!

We are so looking forward to our Liverpool visit this week. Remember to wrap up warm as it can get very cold out on the docks.

If you need help designing and making your dragon mask for World Book Day, why not use one of these templates?

Why not write your own song for remembering science? Choose a simple song e.g Old MacDonald, then write new lyrics. Post your songs here!

There will be prizes for any I like!

Miss Dx

Hi everyone, I am trying to find out what you all think about Science.

Do you enjoy it?

What do you like/dislike?

Is there anything you would like to do in Science?

Do you find it easy/hard?

If you could post me any comments here, it would really help me understand how to make science even better in our school!

Thanks

Miss Dx
