Dear new Y6 families,
In the first week of the new term, Year 6 will be jumping straight into a Design and Technology unit of work where the children will be designing and making their own pencil cases. Although we have plenty of material in school that they can use for this, we thought we would give children the opportunity to bring in material from home, if they have any.
The types of materials that would work are hardwearing, such as denim or polyester/ cotton. Re-using clothes they have grown out of is ideal or maybe an old unwanted pillow case or duvet cover as these would be used as the lining. The materials we cannot use would be t-shirt/jersey material, anything slippery or shiny and material with logos/brand names on for the main part of the pencil case, but we could incorporate small pockets from t-shirts/ denim.
The size of material we need to accommodate several styles of pencil case is approximately 30 x 50 cm as this will enable us to make it big enough to hold their stationery. The material they use could be one piece or a couple of smaller pieces patched together to make a patchwork. Similarly, if your child can knit or crochet, then a piece of the same dimensions would be fine as we would then line it.
All material for the pencil case must be brought in the first week of term.
If you do not have any spare material at home, then please do not buy anything! We can supply material to those who do not bring any in.
Thank you,
Miss Spriggs and Mrs Brignall

Dear families,
We are hosting Level 2 Bikeability at Wicor Primary School at the start of the summer holidays for all pupils in Year 5 and 6. The training is available on a range of dates but must be booked in advance.
This is a half-day Level 2 Bikeability course is for those who can already cycle and are looking to improve their awareness and safety on the roads. The first part of the session is conducted on a playground assessing basic cycling skills and ensuring that students are safe to participate with on the road training, followed by on-road cycling using quiet residential streets. The main aim of the course is that the children will be able to make a short journey in a safer manner and be more aware of road safety issues.
In order to participate in the course, children must be a confident rider, show control when cycling one-handed and be able to go out on to the roads. Each child will need a fully operational bike with two working brakes and a cycle helmet (we have some available on request) to participate.
More detailed information and booking information can be found on this link: Level 2 (Year 5+) Bikeability Training - Wicor Primary School, Fareham – Hampshire County Council Shop but be quick, places are limited!
