Words taken from the Y5/6 Spelling List:
We will be conducting our new School Council elections next week! Therefore we are asking children to complete their applications for School Council posts for their homework this week. There will be one representative per year group on each council from Years 1-6.
The School Councils have slightly changed (we will talk to the children about this in Worship):
All children should write their School Council application for the one council they wish to represent. On Wednesday and Thursday next week children will read their applications to their peers and then a vote will take place to decide democratically the representative for their year group.
If you have any questions, please see your child’s Class Teacher!
As a homework task before the Coronation, we would like you to design and make your own crown, fit for a King.
At our Coronation Garden Party on 5th May, we will hold a crown procession to start the afternoon and there will be prizes for the crown in each class that catches our judge’s eye the most!

This game will help your child to learn their times tables by playing fun and engaging games!
Pupils should learn all songs once their song lyric book has come home. In addition, those with speaking parts in our production should learn their lines!
In order to mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II we would like to create a community book of memories which will remain in school for years to come, and which can be shared with future generations of school children in Bomere Heath. As such, we would like you, as a family, to share your memories of, and feelings about, Her Majesty with us for inclusion in the book. This can be in the form of pictures, photographs or writing and we would like it to be a collaborative project, and can include input from members of your wider family as well as those you live with.
Our book is A3 in size, so please make sure your contribution is smaller than this, and is also as flat as possible.
All homework will be sent via pupils’ homework books, which will be sent home each Friday, to be returned by the following Wednesday please.
There will be a mixture of subjects, written/online work and spellings each week.
If you wish to discuss the homework, please contact Mr Field via the School Office or at the gate!
