Class Vision 2020-2021
We are polite and treat each other well. We are honest and try to help other people no matter what the situation. We are responsible for our own belongings and behaviour. We try our best. We respect each other and other people’s opinions. We want to have a great year with lots of fun so we will behave well. We are kind and treat others as we would like to be treated. We try hard to achieve our goals. We are united as one and work together for the best results possible.
We are more than friends: we are a class family.
Transition
| Pingle | Granville | William Allitt | The Blessed Robert Sutton |

https://www.pingle.derbyshire.sch.uk/page/?title=Year+6+into+Year+7+Transition&pid=217
If you think that your child would benefit from enhanced transition, please talk to Mrs Tyers ASAP. |
We have purchased a book for all the Y6 students who are transferring to us. It is called "You are Awesome" by Matthew Syed. On Showbie there will be a welcome video from me, and a questionnaire. All students will be able to ask questions, raise any fears - this worked well last year. NO other student will see anything they write. There will be weekly tasks added to Showbie for you to complete. We hope to run a summer school for ALL Y6's coming to Granville, but are just trying to get a few things sorted with this. I will share plans once we have things firmed up.

William Allitt have put together some useful information for parents on the school website: http://www.williamallitt.derbyshire.sch.uk/Parents/Year-6-into-Year-7-Parent-Information/ The information includes our Transition Booklet, Data Collection Form, our Virtual Open Evening Presentation and Year 7 curriculum information. This hopefully answers any initial questions you or parents/carers may have. We have asked on our school website that the Data Collection Form is returned to us either by post or via our school transition email address transition@williamallitt.derbyshire.sch.uk by June 2021. |
At this time we are in the process of ensuring we can give pupils the best transition in line with COVID-19 restrictions, currently our intention is to run our transition days on the following days: 30th June and 1st July (Full days) Parents evening session – 1st July 6:30pm Check out their website for specific transition information and support for pupils and parents: https://www.robertsutton.staffs.sch.uk/index.php/transition/ There is also a questionnaire for pupils to complete which allows them to provide friends names for Form support and a section for them to ask any questions. |

Why not try one of Joe Wicks' "5 Minute Move" programmes, if you fancy a little extra exercise?
|
How do we keep in touch? School Jotter app - we use this app solely for messages for the whole school. It is updated by Mrs Millar, the headteacher. Class Dojo - I use this to send messages to all year 6 parents and to reward the class. I also use the "Story" on Class Dojo when I want to send pictures of what we have done, but only with the class. Dojo enables us to have 1:1 conversations, parent to teacher. School webpage - here you will find links to lots of useful resources. As this page can be seen beyond the school, I only update the page with general examples of work. Letters - I try not to send paper copies home, but where I have too, you will usually be able to find a replacement copy on the webpage (see below!). |
