Week beginning 13th July 2020.
Hi Year 6 – we hope you are all well.
Well within a blink of an eye it’s the last week of term, can you believe it?
We are so excited about our Leavers Performance video so thank you to everyone who has sent in photographs and videos they are absolutely brilliant! We’re in the process of putting it together and can’t wait to share it with you. 🤗
We know that this year has not worked out how any of us would have wanted it to but rather than focusing on everything that we didn’t get the chance to enjoy all together, try and focus on everything that we did and on all of your achievements this year – there has been lots and lots and lots! 🤩
It has been an absolute pleasure and a privilege being your teachers this year. You have been an amazing group of children who have made us incredibly proud every single day. We will miss you so much! However, we would like to wish you all the very best for the next step on your journey in September, your new schools are so lucky to be welcoming you! We have no doubt that you are going to continue to achieve wonderful things. 😊
For your home learning this week please go back and finish off any pieces of work you may not have completed from our website and/or Seesaw including the last two sessions (8 and 9) of Be Awesome Go Big – https://www.hachetteschools.co.uk/landing-page/hachette-schools/be-awesome-go-big-resources-for-year-6/
Then take some time and reflect on your time in Y6. Think about all of the new skills you have acquired this year both in class and during the lockdown period and write them down. Think about all of the wonderful memories you have made this year and write them down. Feel free to share them with us on Seesaw – we bet you surprise yourself!
Y6 we leave you with this, remember what we have always said to you. Dance like no-one is watching, sing like no-one is listening, laugh until your stomach hurts and if you can be anything – always choose to be yourself! You’re absolutely amazing just the way you are!
Take care, stay safe and stay awesome!
Have a gorgeous summer, all our love Mrs Summerson and Mr Soulsby. 💜😊xxx

As we prepare to welcome the first groups of children back into school, we at Etherley Lane want to ensure that all of our children, whether they are continuing to learn at home or learning at school, continue to have the opportunity to access the same, high-quality learning experiences. We want to be as consistent as we possibly can be and, with this in mind, we are going to use Oak National Academy resources as our main tool for home and school learning. Oak National Academy is a collection of high-quality lessons and online resources, backed by the Government. Each online classroom on their website offers free access to video lessons, quizzes and worksheets.
From Monday 8th June, the Maths and English activities on each class page on our website that are usually uploaded will be replaced by the link to the relevant online classroom for your child’s year group. Each day, there will be a Maths and English activity provided that we would like your child to complete. Answers to activities will be provided during the activities and instant feedback is given after any given quizzes have been completed.
Where relevant, children may be also be asked to complete the Foundation activity each day. This could be linked to a particular topic or theme suitable for your child’s year group and these Foundation activities will replace the activity grids uploaded onto the class pages of the website every two weeks.
We feel that the introduction of Seesaw as a way of sharing learning and communicating with each other during this time has been extremely successful. We miss the children terribly and love that we are still able to be part of your children’s lives even though we cannot physically be with them. We will continue to use Seesaw the way that we do now; each week your child’s class teacher will set two activities for your child to complete. Your child’s class teacher will then give feedback on what they have done.
We really appreciate how hard you are all working during this time to support your children with their home learning and you are all doing an amazing job.
If you have any questions or queries regarding your child’s home learning, please do not hesitate to contact us using the main school email address.

Year 6 Transition
Stepping Up – Y6 Transition Booklet This booklet will give your child the chance to think about some of the things they are looking forward to in secondary school. It will also give them a chance to think about and discuss the things that they may be worried about.
Nurture Resource Pack_ We are all adjusting to a new way of living and working. There have been huge changes which have taken place quickly and this can cause worry and uncertainty and leave children with lots of unanswered questions, including about their transition to secondary school. Feelings of loss or that things ‘aren’t fair’ may also be present for some children. This booklet provides activities and advice to support your child at home if they are feeling worried or anxious.

Hi Year 6, we hope you have had another brilliant week.
We understand that you might have mixed feelings about the upcoming week as you would have been starting your SATs journey. With that in mind, we don’t want you to think about what you would have been doing but to focus on what you are doing and everything that you have already achieved.
You are all at home staying safe which is incredibly important. You are completing work that we have set you without us being there. You are learning new skills every day and making people smile. You have very quickly adapted to a way of life that none of us have ever experienced before. You’re enjoying quality time with your families and are literally making history.
Can you remember when you arrived in Y6 in September and we asked you what a relative clause was? There was complete and utter silence! Do you remember when we introduced you to your very first early bird activity? You all looked at us as if we were crazy because you thought you were never going to be able to do it. This is only two examples; we could go on and on.
The point we are trying to make is WOW! Look how far you have come in such a short space of time. If everything had gone according to plan, we have no doubt that you would have done absolutely amazing in your SATs – how could you not have? You worked so hard! However, Y6 you already have done amazing and have achieved wonderful things. Words cannot fully express how proud we are of you!
Your new activities are below (week 6) including a SATs lockdown paper with a twist which we hope you will enjoy.
Miss you lots, keep going and keep smiling – you’re awesome!

Hi Year 6,
What have you been up to this week? Whatever it was we hope you’ve had an amazing time. We really enjoyed creating our video for you all. It has been uploaded to our brand-new Facebook page and we hope you all enjoyed it too.
As you know Mrs Summerson is incredibly clumsy and she had a slight mishap this week! Out on her daily walk she was too busy looking at some beautiful flowers and trying to work out what they were. Unfortunately, as she wasn’t watching where she was going, she suddenly heard a squelch! Yes, you’ve guessed it, she’d stepped straight into a huge pile of cow pat – yuck! She’s not sure if her trainers are ever going to see the light of day again. Whoops!
Your new activities (week 5) are below. As well as these, there are two tasks for you to have a go at on Seesaw. Hopefully, we can see and read how you have done with them.
We miss you lots and lots and lots.
Have a brilliant week, stay safe and take care.

We hope you have all had a good week and have been able to enjoy some of the glorious sunshine we’ve been having. Remember all of the work that we set you on our website doesn’t need to be printed out, you can use the exercise book we gave you or just ordinary paper. Just work through it at your own pace and try to complete as much of it as you can. Don’t worry if you don’t complete all of it, your priority is to keep safe and enjoy the time with your family.
Your new activities (week 4) are below.
Take care of yourselves and keep smiling.

As you know Mrs Summerson doesn’t like chocolate in the slightest so she hasn’t had any at all – if you believe that, you’ll believe anything! Ha, ha!

There is only one person that has beaten Mrs Summerson so far (she will never get over it but is secretly pleased) with a huge score of 51!
However, Mr Soulsby is also challenging Mrs Summerson – he will beat her eventually!

Virtual Tour Day at Chester Zoo
Welcome to Year 6
In Year 6, we work as a team to help the children celebrate their time in primary school and prepare them for the transition to secondary school.
By the end of Year 6, we want our children to be respectful, independent, resilient, aspirational and light-hearted.
Mr Soulsby
Hello I am Mr Soulsby and I have been at Etherley Lane Primary School since 2017, and this is my 17th year as a teacher. Currently, I am Key Stage 2 lead along with being one of the Y6 teachers. Mrs Summerson and I are a great team and I love working with her, but it is my mission to beat her at Times Table Rock Stars – at the moment, I’m not!
When I was at primary school, I loved all my teachers and can remember them all – they inspired me to want to be a teacher. I love being a teacher at Etherley Lane Primary School and I believe that all children have the ability to succeed given the correct nurturing, teaching and encouragement to be successful.
Outside of school, I love watching football with my 11 year old son, Finley – we were Newcastle season ticket holders but are on a hiatus and currently watching Spennymoor Town. My daughter, Isla, is 13, and I love watching her compete in dancing competitions. I absolutely love music and films and I taught myself how to play guitar so you’ll often find me picking out a tune and listening to music. Additionally, I go to the cinema to see the latest Marvel, DC and Star Wars films. You’ll also find me pounding the streets as I try to keep fit for the latest half marathon I have entered.
I love seeing children being successful and achieving as a result of their hard work – it always makes me smile. Hopefully, you’ll see me smiling around the school.
Mrs Summerson
Hello, I am Mrs Summerson and I am one of the Y6 teachers. I have taught at our school since 2011 and in that time I have had the privilege of teaching all years groups across Key Stage 2. From a very early age I knew that I wanted to be a primary school teacher. The dream started when my parents bought me a blackboard; I would spend hours teaching my teddy bears! I am extremely passionate about teaching and ensuring that every child reaches their full potential. I strive to make lessons fun and creative to inspire the children that I teach and absolutely love ‘that lightbulb moment’ when they understand.
In my spare time I love nothing more than spending time with my family and friends. I am a keen traveller and have been fortunate enough to visit lots of different countries. I thoroughly enjoy watching Marvel and Disney films and I am a huge Harry Potter fan! I am always giggling and I’m sure you’ll hear me around school.
Mrs Thompson
Hi, I’m Mrs Thompson and I support in year 6. I have worked at Etherley Lane since 2012 and started in year 1 before spending the past 3 years in year 6. I enjoy working with the children and seeing them progress and mature over their time at Etherley Lane. My aim is for children to achieve their best in every lesson.
Outside of school I am a busy mum of twin boys. They make sure that I don’t get much time to sit down but when I do I like nothing better than relaxing with a cup of tea and a good book!
Mrs Yates
Hello, I’m Mrs Yates and I’ve been working as a Teaching Assistant at Etherley Lane Primary School since 2014. I have experience of working in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, I am currently supporting in Year 6. I have high expectations of all pupils and I’m very passionate in inspiring young minds to achieve.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children. Most weekends you will find me stood in a muddy field supporting both my son’s sports – rugby and football.
