Tredegarville C.i.W. Primary School
Caring, sharing, learning together
Year 6
Week Beginning 7th September- we have been spending our imaginary lottery grant, learning to play hockey and practising our tables outdoors!
September 2020
Welcome back to school - we have missed you!
We have a busy year ahead, and lots of lovely learning activities to enjoy together.
You have missed a lot of school, but don't worry; we will do everything that we can to help you catch up. We will be using Hwb a great deal to make sure that you all know how to learn on Google Classroom. Our first topic is MacMillan. This is a very interesting challenge this year because of social distancing. We will be working together to plan and hold a virtual event instead. Could be tricky!!!
Mrs P
Year 6, we've wished you all good luck and said goodbye this week.
To remember us by, here is the video from the teachers with all their messages that you watched on Thursday.
If you would like to watch the End of Year PowerPoint, remember you can still log onto Google Classroom to watch it again, but you won't be able to comment or contact anyone!
Good luck and Goodbye Year 6! Love, Miss Williams, Mrs Proctor and Mr Mills
Monday 16th March
Please be aware that all spelling lists and other home learning will now be available on Google Classroom. This can be found on Hwb. We have been learning how to use this virtual classroom today. If you were away you may want to log in and have an explore. This could be a very useful resource in the coming weeks. So log on and send me a message.

Welcome back to school! I'm really looking forward to working with you all this year.
Finally you are year 6: top of the school!
This half term our topic will be Coffee, Cake and Kindness. We will be planning and running a coffee morning for MacMillan (A cancer charity).
Library books and homework books will need to be returned on Monday mornings. P.E. kit will be needed on Tuesday. Children may wear their P.E. kit to school, but will need to bring their uniform to change into for hygiene purposes.
The park came to us today to celebrate the end of year six's time in Tredegarville. We had ice-cream, a picnic and lots of fun. Enjoy the photos!

On the 8th May some medical students came to talk to us about organ donation. They gave us a badge to remind us to talk to our families about it.
King Henry was the first to person to create the navy. Year 6 made Tudor boats and made sails with different size areas. They tested air resistance by blowing on the sails to find and found out which one moved the boat the quickest.
There will be no spelling homework this week, instead the children have some Maths problems to solve and some mindfulness techniques to practise. Hope you have an enjoyable weekend and bank holiday, we will see you all on Tuesday 7th May.
Year 6 had an interesting day at LLancaiach Fawr learning what it was like to live in Tudor times.
Year 6 have had a very creative week. They have been making boat frames from wood and will use them next week in an experiment.
Welcome back! The Year 6 children have had a very interesting morning at The Fire station. The firemen set fire to their Tudor houses, then they spoke to them about their job and the equipment they use.
Happy Easter - Pasg Hapus
We have built a Tudor town using our knowledge of 3D shape nets. On the first day back we will be taking them to a local fire station to set fire to them safely! This will help us to write about the great fire of London, which happened just after the Tudor period.
Over the holidays, see what you can find out about the Great fire of London!

Here is the poem that year 6 are learning for the individual presentation at the school Eisteddfod on 8th March after half term. Practise it at home!!!
When I grow up
By Jojoba Mansell
When I grow up,
When I get old,
I’ll be a pirate,
Brave, fierce and bold.
I’ll have a ship,
With the fiercest crew.
I’ll have a blue parrot,
I’ll call him Blue!
I’ll wear a patch,
It’ll cover my eye.
From upon the mast,
Jolly Roger will fly.
My pirate name,
When quietly said,
Will fill many sailors,
Full of dread.
I’ll be feared,
From coast to coast.
Of all the treasure,
I’ll have the most.
But for now,
While still a child.
I’ll pretend I’m sweet,
Innocent and mild.
I’ll pretend to be,
The perfect kid.
Keeping pirate ways,
From my parents hid.
I’ll practise piracy,
But only by night.
Teddy will walk the plank,
And duel and fight.
For my ship,
A box I’ll borrow.
Oh I’ll be a pirate…
One bright tomorrow!
