NRJS - Year 6

Hi 5P!
We have received two more packages from our friends in Clarksville, TN.
Here is the website for the town (http://www.cityofclarksville.com/index.asp)

The school we are swapping Flat Stanley's with has a website, what similarities and differences do you notice?
http://www.cmcss.net/Schools/schoolwebsites/el/frontpage.asp?locid=BMES

If you do anything exciting, find out something new, visit somewhere please tell us about it so we can share it with our friends in USA!

PS - maybe we should send a Flat Person to Jamie's Grandma!

Thank you Chloe for finding the website, please post it on the blog for others to see.
We rehearsed altogether today and it is sounding lovely!

Thanks to all the children who wore blue yesterday in support of anti bullying week.
Remember if you write a poem or finish your poster for anti bullying week you could be in with a prize!
You might even upload your anti bullying poem onto the Blog! If you aren't sure how to do that, email me and I will do it
missplackett@hotmail.co.uk

We have had some very exciting things happening this week.
1) Anti bullying drama workshop: where the children got to experience what it would be like to be bullied and as the bully.#
2) Balloon launch today where we let off hundreds of blue balloons in support of anti bullying
3) Non-uniform day tomorrow where the children will wear BLUE in support of anti bullying
4)The children have bought keyrings with the anti bullying motto, see it, get help, stop it on

Don't forget the anti bullying poster and poem competition!

See you all in blue tomorrow!

Thank you
A big thank you to my class for their good behaviour, nice manners and attitude today and yesterday when our special OFSTED visitors were here. I want this to continue so we can have a super run up to Christmas.

Remember we have anti bullying week non-uniform on Friday (wear blue!!!) there is no charge for non-uniform day but we are selling anti bullying week balloons for £1.50 to release on Thursday.

You can buy the landyards (anti bullying keyrings) for 80p in school.

In maths today the children calculated the number of hours they watched TV last night, then added it up as a table, if we had done it for the class it would have been greater then 4 and a half days!!! I couldn't believe the amount of time some of you spend watching TV.
Have a good night, try not to watch as much TV as last night! Talk to your family, read a book, play a board game, learn your spellings, write a story, paint a picture or read the blog!

See you in the morning
Miss P

Ofsted
Please can I remind all parents to complete the OFSTED questionnaire, only 7 questions! And there's a team point in it for every pupil who returns it by Friday!
Only 2 on the steps today, lets hope we can keep it like that or less!
Well Done!

Don't forget if you want to come to the Children in Need disco tomorrow, it is only £2, year 5 and 6 at 4.45pm to 5.45pm.

See you there!

Hi Class,
I hope the diary for the girls is making a difference and you feel you are being listened to and yur voice heard! Remember I will reply to anything you write.

You will be getting a letter tomorrow to let you know we have some special visitors in school on Monday and Tuesday to watch your lessons, the way byou behave, the way I teach you and what work we have done in our books this term.

I will be choosing a couple of children to be interviewed by our visitors next week to share our learning targets, work we have done, our behaviour steps and generally what we (5P) are successful at!

See you in the morning
Miss Plackett

Hi all,
I hope the children who did some maths challenges with Mrs HUlme and I enjoyed it! Sometimes it's good to do something hard!
The girls (they know who they are!) will be gettting a 5P diary tomorrow to keep a log of what's happening to try and get the 'nice' playing together back again! I want it, they want it and their parents want it, so we are going to get it!

I look forward to seeing some more parents tomorrow after school.

Don't forget the Children in Need disco after school on Friday! £2 a ticket, all proceeds going to Children in Need!

See you all tomorrow
Miss P

P.S. Get well soon Jamie!

Lovely evening
Thank you to everyone who turned up at parents evening, it was really good to meet all the parents I haven't met before, a successful night with lots of positive comments on books, work and the blog!!!
In the morning I am working with Mrs Hulme on Maths challenges, some of you will get the opportunity to work with us and help decide what you would like to do. You will be having gymn astics with the apparatus, literacy and numeracy with Mrs Mazurek and then back to me in the afternoon for RE and speaking and listening.

Have your best speaking voices ready for reading your play scripts! I am expecting lots of voice changes and good expression!

Thank you Alex for leaving us a new website to use for our times tables, as you know it is our target for this half term!

PS - I needed the fruit bar Alex, it got very cold in our classroom and I didn't leave till 8.15pm!
PPS - I hope Alex R enjoyed the wrestling!
Good night

Sponsored Sport Event!
Congratulations to everyone who has brought in sponsor forms, we raised approximately £600! The children had a brilliant time with Mr Brady and were well and truly worn out afterwards!

We have started our art topic today, we are going to be making containers using the Hindu festival of Divali as our inspiration.
Well done to James who was awarded this week's merit. I was very pleased with this week's first spelling test, 10 children with super speller certificates! Well done!

On Monday it is parents evenign, you should have your times by now, I tried to give when parents asked, but about 70% asked for between 3.30 and 4.30, so some are a different day!

I look forward to seeing you on Monday
P.S. Hi to Jamies's grandma!

Good Evening bloggers!
I am very proud of my class today, it is the first day since starting back in September we have had no-one on the steps!!!
A super day was had, we had a very productive science lesson, dare parents to ask them about the effects of scurvy on sailors! They might even start eating fruit and veg after the photos I showed them on Wikipedia!

Lets hope this good behaviour, super hard work continues!
See you all tomorrow!
