Dear Parents,
It has been a most eventful time, since I wrote to you last week! 

It was wonderful to see so many of you at the summer fayre on Friday evening. The atmosphere was really special, and it was lovely to seeing the ‘Burton Green family’ together.

 

Our year 6 enterprise initiative was very impressive once again raising much needed funds for the school. Their hard work and determination was once again on full show. I will either see some of them on Dragon’s Den or the Apprentice one day. 

 

It was a huge success overall, not only raising a fantastic £1500 but making our community feel whole again. Well done to our fantastic PTFA for organising such a fabulous event. A lot of work, but definitely worth it.

 

Things move so quickly and it so exciting as we prepare for our transition afternoon when our new reception pupils will join us again.

 

As we approach the end of term, I have already seen the stage is set for play rehearsals in year 6, I’m sure it will once again be a fantastic show! 
I hope you all have a good rest of the week and a restful weekend when it arrives. 

 

I look forward to celebrating with you on Friday when we once again ‘Reach for the Stars
 

Maple Class: 
This week we are writing letters for our own class book based on ‘Dear Greenpeace’. In maths we are exploring number bonds and are also subtracting by counting back. We are really looking forward to our ‘move-up’ afternoon too!
 

Cedar Class
This week Cedar class have been hard at work coding on scratch. We have been creating our own Maze game using simple algorithms to move characters and designing our backgrounds. 

In maths we have all been learning about time. A watch is the best way to encourage your children to tell the time so feel free to wear one to school (preferably analogue). 
 

Damson Class:
This week in Maths, we have been working on column addition of larger numbers. Whilst in literacy we have been using story maps to help us retell stories. We are also learning more about the timeline of pharaohs and their dynasties in our history work on Ancient Egypt.
 

Oak Class:
In Oak Class we have been working to complete our memory books (based on our residential visit), we have also begun to rehearse the end of school show. We completed the enterprise projects on Friday at the summer fair and we have been evaluating these together.
