Year 6 Reading Passport
20 BOOKS TO READ
Over the summer, each class teacher has been compiling a list of 20 books to read by the end of the year. These books are a mix of different texts, authors and text types. These can be read by the children, or read to them depending on your child's reading stage.
Children will be coming home with their own reading passport. This will show the 20 books for your child to read by the end of their class year. Over the year, the children will have the opportunity to read these books at home, and then you can sign the passport when the books have been read at home. All of the books that are on the passport are available from each class reading area, though you may have some copies at home.
After a book has been read and signed by an adult, a stamp or a sticker will be added to the passport in class to show that that book has been read. Once your child has read all of their books for the year, they will receive a certificate, a prize and their name will go onto our school Wall of Fame display.
We hope that this will help to encourage the children of St Joseph's to develop their love of reading for pleasure, and to help them to find new authors, text types and books that will spark their interest.
Happy Reading!

Make Your Mark Vote
On Friday, Year 6 took part in a democratic vote on issues that are important to them: bullying, online safety, road safety, saving the environment and school transition. A member of Doncaster Council brought in voting slips and a voting box so that the class could have a say on these important matters.

Commando Joes
In today’s mission, Year 6 joined Ernest Shackleton and his crew as they worked to ensure the ship (Endurance) was able to reach its intended destination. They had to work in teams to move the ship and themselves to different locations. This was made more challenging firstly by the fact Commando Tom’s compass had magnetic interference and then by the fact that night fell making it difficult for team members to see. This was a mission that tested teamwork skills, communication, positivity and being self aware.
This half term during PE the children will be learning basketball

Year 6 are busy trialling a programme called Reading Plus. This is a programme designed to improve fluency, reading comprehension and vocabulary. The children know there logins, and they can use this at home too!! We recommend that it be used on a screen no smaller than a tablet.
Fantastic Friday! Today Year 6 met, supported and played with their Reception buddies. We also selected some members of Year 6 to take on some important roles and responsibilities.
