Year 6 Booster Classes

During the run up to the SAT's, Year 6 have been taking part in extra fun sessions of Literacy, Numeracy and Science, after and before school.


These sessions are to help 'boost' their confidence and ability in these subjects a little more, in preparation for the tests in May. The teachers that hold the Booster classes ensure they are an hour of fun learning rather than a boring lesson!

The Booster sessions are:

ICT (Literacy, Numeracy and Science Revision) - Tuesday 3:20pm - 4: 20pm - Mrs Carleton
Literacy - Wednesday 3:20pm - 4:20pm - Mrs James
Numeracy - Thursday 8:15am - 9:15am - Mr Bowsher
Literacy - Thursday 3:20pm - 4:20pm - Miss Simmonds

This week's Literacy booster ( 25th and 26th March 2009),concentrated on the genre of Interviews. We re-capped on the features of an interview. They thought of informal questions they wanted to ask David Beckham and formal questions that they could ask the Queen or Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. Once they had completed this task, the main task was to prepare and film an interview!
The children had to choose to interview: Peggy Mitchell, David Tennant, Jade Goody or Gordon Brown. They had to think of open ended questions to ask and also think of the answers.


Here are a few examples of the interviews filmed... Live!!!

RED NOSE DAY Friday 13th 2009

A Great Day!
All children in year 6 came to school today in red clothes, with whacky hair and 50p to raise money for comic relief. We all enjoyed the day, biscuits were on sale, we learnt a lot about why we have Red Nose Day and we enjoyed our Red Nose Day Aerobics in the Hall. Check out our Funny Faces Gallery and our aerobic video below, we hope you enjoy.....
