Week Commencing:
22.09.25
Maths: In maths Mrs Duffy will be finishing off her unit on place value and completing our end of unit assessment before moving on to a new unit called 'converting units'. With Mrs Anderson we will be working on long and short division.
English: We are really enjoying our new text 'The Journey' in English. This week we will be looking at how to structure and write a balanced arguement.
RE: In RE we will be focusing on preparing for our Harvest celebration and, as part of our year of being Pilgrims of Hope, we will be writing poems of Hope to share with our local community. Remember our Harvest Festival is Friday 26th September at 9.30am. Donations welcome.
Other: After meeting our buddies for the first time this week we will be starting to meet weekly for lunch. A big milestone for our Year 6's and the first 'big friends' for our reception children.
15.09.25
Maths: As we teach half of the week each, we have split our maths units in half. Mrs Duffy's first unit is place value and she will be continuing to look at solving problems using number lines, rounding and negative numbers this week. In Mrs Andersons 4 operations unit we will be looking at prime and square and cube numbers before moving on to look at 4 digit by 2 digit multiplication.
English: In English we are starting a new writing unit which works on the book 'The Journey' by Francesca Sanna. Our work this week focuses on 'book talk' where we explore our predictions and look at the underlying themes we may encounter. Our text will also highlight themes of solidarity and dignity.
RE: In RE we are continuing to look in detail at The Old Testament. After researching key figures and their stories we are making top trumps cards and highlighting key attributes that made these followers of Christ so special.
Our roles and responsibilities will be decided and announced this week and we are really excited to see our new Year 6 children step up into our special leadership positions in across the school.

At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
