Today, Year 6 took part in a inter-school competition at The Hub, in Perry Barr. It was a great morning of football and all the St Clement’s teams played well. Unfortunately, we didn’t make the finals but we had a very enjoyable morning. Man of the match was Tyler Billingham-Roberts , who was outstanding in defence and Ali Abubakr made some exceptional saves.
Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
Children watched a PowerPoint slide of an inflatable bungee run , in talking partners, children had to suggest ways in which the bungee run is a symbol of them starting secondary school. Children discussed what they are looking forward to but maybe held back by some fears or concerns like the bungee cord around their waist.
Children completed the quiz by calling out the questions and asking the children to work in pairs to record their answers. Once they completed, I allowed the children in pairs to join with other pairs to compare answers. Gave the children correct answers.
Used this as a recap to ensure the children really do have the right messages about how to keep themselves safe online.
This week Year 6 completed their SATs and put 100% effort into all of them . Today we were celebrating the Royal wedding and all the children were enjoying the time to relax after the pressure of SATs.

Relationships – being safe with technology
Children had to watch a short film ‘ Let’s Fight it together’ about cyber bullying. Debriefed the film helping the children to think about :
what is happening in the film?
How does Joe feel ?
What could joe have done to stop the bullying when it began to happen?
How did it get resolved in the end?
We all discussed as a whole class.
Ensured the children to understand how to keep safe on the internet and what they should do and who they should talk to if they feel uncomfortable or worried.
Next week Year 6 are taking their SATs tests. The children have been preparing themselves and working extremely hard. Over the weekend the children should relax, do something nice and above all not be stressed. Hopefully the weather will be nice.
We wish the children good luck and know they will try their very best. Don’t forget the breakfast club on Monday.

Using the loss or change cards I asked the children to place their cards along a continuum from very difficult to cope with, to more easy to cope with.
Got the children to work together so they could learn to come to one decision as there is no right way of doing this.
Then invited the children to write a feeding on a post it to describe how the person might be feeling in that situation.

This week in Jigsaw we read the children ‘The sad book’ by Michael Rosen. The book expresses Michael’s experience of deep sadness, how it affects him and how he tries to cope with it. In groups children had time to discuss and explore what the book tells us about feelings of sadness and loss.
Allowed each child group to share their ideas and conclusions from their discussions with the rest of the class.
