w/c 6th July
Good morning to you all. We hope that you have all had a great weekend. It’s fantastic to have so many of you in school and Mrs Murton and Miss Crossley are really very pleased to be back with you for the final two weeks of term. Mrs Murton will be with the Monday/Tuesday group and Miss Crossley with the Thursday/Friday group.
Our last Learning Poster has come to an end and we will not be setting a new one as all of our Google Classroom users are back in school from this week. All of the tasks will remain open on Google Classroom until it closes at the end of term and so you can still hand in tasks that you complete. The quizzes, the Big Debate and the Stream will all continue to run too. We will also be asking you to complete one or two tasks that we begin in school on Google Classroom.
We will be recording the vocals of ‘Stand by me’ this week and polishing up those dance moves for our video next week.
So… here goes Year Six… let’s get ready to sing, dance, play, create and perform one amazing – never been seen before – fantastic end to your time at Woodbridge Primary School!!
w/c 29th June
Hello Year 6!
We hope you have all had a super weekend. The Year 6 team are looking forward to seeing lots of you in school. We are also delighted to be welcoming some more of you back into school this week.
It has been really exciting to watch you dancing and singing on the video clips on Google Classrooms! You have all made a fantastic start. Have you been practising at home? If you have not been in school, or would like some extra practise, you will find videos to help you on the End of Year topic on Google Classrooms.
If you haven’t done so already, please take some time to have a good look at the Moving On topic on Google Classrooms. Have you watched the transition video with Mr Read yet? Well done to those of you who have posted a question for a Farlingaye pupil and teacher. If you haven’t done so already, it would be great to have your questioned submitted to us this week.
Take care
Mrs Murton, Miss Crossley and Mrs Tomlinson

Hello Year 6!
We hope you have had a fantastic weekend and that you have all enjoyed the return of the warm weather. What have you all been up to? We would love to hear all about it in Google Classrooms.
It’s great to be welcoming some of you back into school this week! The staff in school are looking forward to seeing you. We hope that those of you returning to school this week enjoy your first week back and begin to settle into the new routine well. We will continue to set tasks on our Google Classroom for you to complete on the days you are not in school, and for those of you who are not returning to school.
We look forward to hearing from you in Google Classrooms.
Have a great week. Mrs Murton, Miss Crossley and Mrs Tomlinson

Good morning Year 6! We hope that you have all had a fun half term. What did you all get up to? We’d love to hear about it. As well as spending time with our families, we have been busy getting lots of new and exciting things lined up for you in our Google Classroom!
In Google Classrooms, you will find our new learning poster which will tell you about the activities that have been set from Monday 1st June to Friday 19th June. Many of the activities will continue as before, e.g. Big Maths, spag.com, but there are also new activities too. You will find a new activity called White Rose Maths under the Maths Topic. These are short video lessons with follow up activities. We think they are great, and we hope you enjoy them too!
You may notice the Classwork section in Google Classrooms looks a little different – that’s because we have had a bit of a virtual tidy up! Tasks which were set on previous learning posters have been ‘filed’ under their Learning Poster topic (since some of the subjects were looking a bit cluttered and we did not want you to feel overwhelmed!) For example, the Viking Ship task can now be found under the Learning Poster 1 topic (rather than the Vikings topic). We have not deleted any tasks, should you want to complete any of the tasks that were set before half term.
We look forward to hearing from you all in virtual classroom this week!

Hello to you all,
w/c 11th May
Good Morning Year 6!
We hope that you have had a lovely weekend and that you managed to enjoy the wonderful weather (before it turned so windy!) Did anybody do anything special to mark VE Day on Friday? Mrs Murton made some bunting with her family and decorated her house, Mrs Tomlinson joined her neighbours in the two minutes silence in her street and Miss Crossley had a socially distanced afternoon tea with her neighbours. We would love to hear how you celebrated, so please do share this with us on Google Classrooms!
It is fantastic to have so many of you now part of our Google Classroom, and we are delighted that a few more of you (plus Mrs Ling!) joined us this week. We are all really impressed with the committed attitude that you are showing towards your learning – really well done Year 6! We do hope that you have had time to take a look at the new Home Learning Poster and explore the tasks that have been set. Please do remember that these tasks are just suggestions and we are not expecting you to complete every task. We understand that this is a strange time for you all and that everybody is living in different circumstances at the moment, so please just complete what you feel you are able to. Please note that some tasks have a due date. This is just to give you some guidance and to support you in structuring your time. Please don’t worry about the due dates too much: you can still submit a task after the due date has passed should you wish to. We also know that some of you are having some problems with your TT Rockstars account. Don’t worry – Miss Crossley is looking into this for you.
We are all missing you lots. We also understand that you are all missing each other too and we look forward to welcoming you back as soon as it is safe to do so.
Sending you all a huge applause (for all your hard work!), a virtual high five
and our warm wishes!
Mrs Murton, Miss Crossley and Mrs Tomlinson

Good morning Year 6!
We hope you have had a lovely weekend and you have all enjoyed the sunshine. This weekend Mrs Murton was delighted to discover a cuckoo bird on her daily walk; Mrs Tomlinson has been creative with her cooking skills (making Onion Bhaji Burgers from her Jamie Oliver cookbook!); and Miss Crossley has been camping in her garden!
Thank you and well done to all of you who have signed up to our Year 6 Google Classroom. We are delighted that we now have twenty-four of you signed up! If you have not signed up already, then please do so this week. You will have been invited to do so using your school email address and Bob has made a super trilogy of videos to guide you through the process. If you can’t remember your email address and password, Bob talks you through this too (video 1 at about 11minutes 40seconds in). Please remember that our school code of conduct still applies when working on Google Classroom. Post only what you are happy for all of your classmates and all of your teachers to see.
As we enter our second week of Google Classroom, here are a few useful reminders:
-
Google Classrooms is for you to communicate with us about your learning, for example: specific questions about a task or problems with a log on etc. If your parents have any queries or wish to contact us, they can do so in the usual way by contacting the school office.
-
Keep sharing your photos and learning with us! We really do love to hear what you have been up to – who knew we had so many talented bakers in Year 6?!
-
Please do not worry if you are unable to complete all of the tasks on Google Classroom. Remember, they are just suggestions.
Take care and we look forward to hearing from you in our virtual classroom this week!

Easter Holidays
Hello Year 6!
We hope you have all had a lovely weekend and have enjoyed the warmer, sunnier weather. This week and next week are the Easter holidays and therefore we will not be setting any learning tasks for you to complete at home. However, it would be fantastic if you could keep up your daily reading. You can also continue to complete TT Rockstars and the online Big Maths challenges should you wish to.
Well done for all your efforts with your home learning so far! We really have loved receiving your photographs of what you have been up to so please remember to keep sending them in. It is great to see you completing the challenges and bingo board: Merryn’s rockcakes looked delicious; Tia’s Viking cover is excellent; Well done to Jamie for getting the whole family in on his rocket investigation; Jake’s straw rocket investigation looked very impressive and well done to Fyn, Laura and Marcus for their fantastic Viking Ships. You are able to view these photos on our class page so please remember to take a look at what your friends have been up to! We would love to hear your final story that you are working on Sophie!
Our TTRockstars Stars of the Week this week are; Millie, Jake, Daisy and Henry. Well done to you all. Well done to all of you who have completed all of your Big Maths challenges this week: Will, Maia, Merryn, Liam, Zack, Henry, Jake and Harvey. Super effort with some great scores too!
It has been fantastic to begin receiving some of your Staircase stories. However, please do not worry if you have not completed one or have not sent it across to us, since we will be giving more guidance in helping you to complete this task after Easter.
Ideas to keep you busy over Easter…
- How are you all getting on with your daily exercise? It would be lovely to hear about how you have all been keeping fit and healthy! Jon (as in Tennis Jon) has set up his own You Tube channel, where he has recorded videos demonstrating a ‘Trick of the Day’ for you to have a go at at home. Please see the link below or type ‘Woodbridge Tennis Club’ into You Tube.

- Try making and sending an Easter Card
- How about setting up an Easter Trail of Hunt around your house or in your garden? Perhaps you could write your clues in riddles (the Vikings loved riddles!)
We will be looking to set new learning via Google Classroom, after the Easter Holidays. Look out for an email (via your school email address) inviting you to join our ‘Year 6 classroom’. If you are unsure of your email and/or login, don’t worry, we will be in touch to let you know how you can login.
We hope you have a lovely Easter and we will be in touch again after the holidays on Tuesday 21st April.

Good morning you lovely lot. Welcome to week two…
We hope that you are all adjusting well to being at home. It’s quite strange isn’t it but we hope that you are managing to have some fun as well. Staying well is the most important thing at the moment both physically and mentally.
Thanks for sending your messages as to what you have been up to. If you haven’t already had a look, Dan and Edie’s photos on the website are great. Thanks for sending them in. A big well done to those of you who have been into school – Mrs Watson Brown tells us that you have been working hard. Pond dipping sounds great fun.
Well done to all of you who have managed to log on to TTRock Stars this week – Millie, Daisy, Joe and Sophie May are our stars this week for having the highest daily average active time working on their tables. It could be you next week! (This week, I discovered how to find out how much time you are all spending working on your times tables – I’ve never had time to look before!!)
The packs and ideas we have sent out are intended to be helpful to you and your family. They are definitely not meant to cause you stress and worry. They will help to keep your learning ticking over and keep you busy.
We have set you up an account so that you can access the Big Maths resources online. You will now be able to complete your SAFE, CLIC and Learn It challenges from home. To log in you will need the following information: our school pin (0026); your username (your first name followed by the first three letters of your last name); and your password (the words Year 6 followed by your initials). See the example below:
School pin: 0026
Username: LizMur
Password: Year6LM
If you have ‘graduated’ from either the CLIC or SAFE challenges you will still be able to access the highest level, which will keep those skills fresh in your minds.
If you can, we would like you to continue to complete some daily reading, maths and writing. If you’d like an extra challenge then take a look at the Straw Rocket Science investigation (some of you will have brothers and sisters who will have had a go at it when they were in year 6). We’d love to hear how it goes.
Another challenge might be to begin completing some tasks on our class Bingo Board. Have you managed to complete anything already? Perhaps this week would be a good time to keep in contact with friends and relatives by sending them a letter.
Above all – exercise, sleep well, eat well, read, talk, relax and look after each other…
Take care
Miss Crossley & Mrs Murton
w/c 23rd March
Mrs Murton wanted to say in the video (but forgot) that the staff will help you complete your learning packs in school (if possible).
