Multiplication
For Maths this week, we have been focusing on the area of multiplication and multiplying up to 4 digit numbers by 2 digits. The homework for this week should reinforce that understanding. Also, please see a link for TT Rockstars.
Reading
Fiction Express
In this gripping sequel to Spycase and Spychaser, Jane is back with her AI assistant, Evans. Jane’s mum is a super spy, and she has banned Jane from any more spy stuff until she turns 18. But Jane gets caught up in a theft at the Natural History Museum in London that leads her into a complicated web of counter-espionage. Will she be tempted to join a rival spy network, and risk everything?
Log on to Fiction Express and read Chapter One of Spy Catcher. Once you have read the first chapter, please take the quiz and answer the questions.

Congratulations!
Today Mrs Maude conducted a very special assembly (for the Year 6 children) to announce who would be this year’s Head Boy and Head Girl. Over the course of the past two weeks, we have heard so many amazing speeches from the children – it was certainly a difficult choice! A massive well done to all those who participated.

| Role | |
| Head Boy | Levi |
| Head Girl | Scarlett |
| Deputy Head Boy | Jamie |

From September and in line with Government Guidance, we will be getting outside a lot more (in all sorts of weather conditions), this will include our PE lessons.
We will be asking the children to come into school on their PE days IN THEIR PE UNIFORM. (They will find out their PE days during the first week back). They will then stay in this for the day, so a change of clothes will not be needed in school. The main reason for this change is for safety reasons; it has been advised that we reduce the amount of belongings that are coming to and from each home and onto the school site.
For the older children, this change also comes about as there will be reduced space for them to change separately (boys and girls) due to them being in their class bubbles.
To make sure that the children are suitably dressed once the cooler weather sets in, we would like the children to have black jogging bottoms, a black hoody or sweatshirt and suitable outdoor footwear to wear alongside their usual white t-shirt and black shorts.
We thank you for your support with this.
Miss Kelly Perrett and Mrs Victoria Gray
