Welcome to our new class page!

Our topic this term is 'Ecotricity', which is all about renewable energy. In this we will look at how power is generated from both renewable and non-renewable sources, the impact these have on the environment and the benefits and drawbacks of each energy source.

We are looking into a trip for our class this term – there will hopefully be a letter sent out soon about this!

SATs Club has now begun for Year 6 on a Monday, after school, until 4.30pm.

Revision is to be completed by each Friday, when new work will be set.

Ideas for keeping active


It is really important that we are all staying active in this difficult time. We hope your still getting out for some daily exercise with your family. There are a number of other ways to stay active – Joe Wickes has a 30 minute workout each day from 9am on his youtube channel. The Crewe and Nantwich Sports partnership are uploading a daily challenge on their twitter feed which is @candnssp. We have attached a couple of files with nice activities to try at home.

Important Notices:

• Please encourage your child to read at home regularly and write what they have read in their diaries. If they are unsure what to read, come and speak to us and we will recommend something! Reading at home makes an enormous difference to their comprehension and writing work in school.
• Short arithmetic problems and spelling activities will completed each morning
• We will also add interesting websites linked to our topic where appropriate.
• Active 30 is continuing at the usual time – please ensure your PE kit is in school each day and is suitable for wet weather too!
• Year 6s – Please bring your grey revision guides each Friday so you can review set homework and record new revision tasks. If you have any questions about your work, speak to us in the week and we will help you.
