A very good morning Year 6,
I really cannot believe that it is finally here... your very last week in Year 6! Although it is far from the way in which we would like it to be, we are still so very proud of you and how much you have achieved not only this year but through all of your time with us at Ravensbury! We will miss you all so very much but rest assured we will find a way to celebrate you and your time with us in some way in the Autumn term.
As this week is a special week- I will be posting some activities for you to reflect on your time at primary school. Please email them to us we would love to read them.

Also remember to call into school (if you haven't already) to collect your copy of the Y6-Y7 tranisition read for the summer. Here is a special message from the author about his fabulous book...

Good morning everyone,
I hope you have had a a chance to pop into school to collect your own copy of "The kid who came from Space."
If not, why not call in today and read along with the rest of us. It will be one of the first texts you use in High School in September. I am already half way through and am really enjoying it. It is really exciting but funny too! I think that you will love it!
Today's learning include some activities for chapter 1 and a music lesson on how and why singing can make us feel good. Or if you fancy some science there is a flim clip about Charles Darwin -find out why he was so important in our topic of Inheritance and Evolution.

Good morning everyone,
remember to call into school for your own copy of
"The Kid who came from Space".
The children in school have started reading it already! Check out padlet for Chapter 1 if you would like to read along with them. I love trying to recognise who is reading each part. Can you recognise the different voices you hear and match them to your classmates?
https://padlet.com/y6homelearning/nxkcu8zxxd8kmxo7
Also, it was lovely to hear from Maddison this week. She has sent in her version of this week's art challenge- making a portrait out of familiar objects. She chose her grandma and food from the fridge! A fantastic piece of art- I love it! Why not have a go at Mrs McCaffer's art challenge this week- remember to send us a pic at:

Just call into school any day this week to collect your copy.

Hello Ravensbury wildlife lovers,
The end of another week and it’s going to be a little cooler today. It was so hot yesterday again! I think the ducks will be happy with the rain later.
Today’s challenge is to use your ears as the sun sets tonight. Listen for the wildlife concert that is played in your back garden every evening. You could record it and email the concert to me.
Have a wonderful, sunny and safe Thursday.

Hello everybody,
It’s Thursday already! It was so hot yesterday and it looks like it’s going to be another scorcher today so make sure you wear a hat and put your sun cream on when you’re out in the wild today.
Today’s challenge is to make an accessory out of flowers. I used to love to make daisy chains when I was a little girl. Can you make something to add to your outfit or to give to someone you love?
Have a wonderful, sunny and safe Thursday.
