Welcome to the Year 6 blog (2015/16)

Dear parents and visitors,

Welcome to the Year 6 blog. Up until recently I had been using a website I made myself to showcase Year 6's talents and post homework to. Now that the children are using Google classroom for homework, we have camp coming up and this blog is linked to the school website I thought it might be a better idea to make use of our blog.

I will continue to post the children's homework to the Classroom page. I will use this blog to post Work of the Week, guidance on how parents can help with their children's studies and photos of exciting things we have been doing in class.

Tomorrow we will be going on our residential trip to Kanchanaburi. This trip is to support our World War II studies. Each evening (or when I can) I will post photos and details of what we are doing so you can see what fun your child is having.

Before we go though, here is the letter I sent out with the children detailing the last minute arrangements before we leave tomorrow morning:

• We will leave from school at 8:15am. Please make sure your child is at school on time.
• They can leave their bag in the reception area.
• Please make sure any medicines are in a bag labelled with your child’s name and give to Nurse Noodee.
• As well as Mr Collett, Ms Paulette and Kru Bank, Nurse Noodee will be joining us on the trip.
• Please remember that expensive items, electronic items and mobile phones are not allowed on the trip. However, children are encouraged to bring an inexpensive camera.
• Should we need to contact you in an emergency we have your phone numbers. Should you need to contact us in an emergency you can get the school mobile number from the school office on 027268283/4.
• Regular updates, including photos, will be given on this blog.
• The children are allowed to bring healthy snacks for the journey. Try to avoid sugary food or food with lots of additives. Snack will be provided by the school for the journey to Kanchanaburi and by the hotel for the journey from Kanchanaburi back to Bangkok. 
• We hope to be back at school by 3:00pm on Friday.

Many thanks to you all for your continued support,

Mr Collett
