The week before SAT's

This week, Year 6 have been busy working on excelling in our SAT's week which are next week! We've been especially touching up on our literacy skills and we would like to share three pieces of writing from our year 6 pupils. The first is from Christopher Elliot, 6P and he has written a diary entry about moving away:


Dear Diary,

I'm just about to go so I best be quick. I'm going to miss being at Glade, the headaching shout of Ms Patel, the boring assemblies, the spectactular field and forest, that's what I'm probably going to miss the most and my friends Zack, Geevan, Sulaymaan, Adnaan and a few others too. It's just not going to be the same.
But moving isn't to bad because I'm not moving that far and I'll still be able to visit and even better, I'll be attended the same school as my best friend, Corin. Me and Corin have been best friends since toddler years and of course some of my other friends from toddler years go there as well.
Oh, that's Mum, gotta go.
Later,
Chris


We also worked on writing our very own stories, here's one from Raghavi Thavanesan,6P:

It's a Mystery

As soon as Ali stepped into the room, a sudden chill ran down her spine. Guiltiness of intruding into someones private property filled her mind. Although this was the case, she realised that it was her own fault that she was there.Her own curiosityhad lead her inside the house and what had her Grandma always said? 'Curiosity kills the mind'. Her voice was ringing in Ali's head as if a warning. She wanted to get out but it was as if someone was controlling her and would not let her go. She saw a sofa which had it's springs torn from it, she then sawna giant hole in the middle of the room, Ali felt cautious as if she was being watched but she carried on observing the hole. it looked as if someone had been digging but no one was in sight...well, not yet that was. She realised something was worried.
All of the windows had their glass broken and the strong violent wind rushed in but in the fireplaces the fire was still burning. Suddenly, she heard a sound. It was coming from above her head but she saw outside that it only had one floor and the roof was barely there. She looked up and her heart beated so fast that she could not move at all...

Last but not least, we have our lovely Rhea Ahmed writing a contrasting diary of Christopher's version:

Dear Diary,
Moving isn't all that bad as I thought. I've already made a new friend. Her name is Emma and guess what? She's in the same class and school as me. Of course I'll miss my old friends but we can still contact each other. And anyway, me and Hannah will have lots of contacts especially since we're neighbours.

I was right, my room is fantastic and I've got the biggest room and I get to choose whatever colour I want fro the walls. What about Blue? No Pink? What do you think about Purple? Never mind, I'm too excited to choose right now.

I don't know why I was so nervous, I still get to see my friends and my room is fab, when I left my old house I was so worried but now I'm happy, very happy. I just remembered It's my birthday in two days and I'm supposed to meet up to play some bowling with my old friends and I hope they won't mind if Hannah tags along. I love the new school, it's so colourful and big. Hannah even gave me a tour of the school and speaking of Hannah, I'm supposed to meet her about...now!
See you diary,
Rhea xxx


So as you can see, we have been working hard preparing for our SAT's and at this rate, we are all likely to Level 5's!
Have a good weekend and wish us good luck on our SAT's next week!

Busy...Busy...BUSY!

In year 6, we have been preparing for SAT's week but amidst all of that, we have been working hard to improve out literacy skills. We did several writing and spelling tests and we have managed to show one of our completed tasks which was written by Rayne Leat, 6P:

After working our socks off, we had a relaxed afternoon doing Art. As our history topic is the Egyptians, we have been sketching portraits of Tutankhamun using pastels. At the end of the lesson, after getting extremely messy, we produced some great artwork which should be on display soon!
