Happy Holidays

2009-06-30T15:17:00.002+03:00

There is no homework issued for the holiday.
However, please read the advice pamphlet included in the report envelope.
Three months is a very long time and much of the progress made this year could be forgotten.
Rehearse your times tables. All Y6 children should know the multiplication and division facts and be able to recall them quickly.
6 x 7 = 42
7 x 6 = 42
42 ÷ 7 = 6
42 ÷ 6 = 7
Remember if you know one fact you already know three more.
Keep a holiday diary in English and your home language. Try to learn a new word each day.
Read read read - holidays are a great time to enjoy reading books of your choice.
Take Care. Stay safe.
Have fun.
I look forward to seeing you all next year.
Miss Harries
