Hi Aribah,
It’s lovely to hear from you. I am so pleased that you are enjoying secondary school. We all miss you here but we see you every day on our ‘Copthorne Welcome’ film which is lovely. Take care and we look forward to seeing you in person very soon.

Dear Mrs Shepherd, I wish I get realy good results in my exams. I am worried.
Hello Aisha,
Please don’t worry. I know you have worked really hard this year and, because of that, you will get some good results. The best thing you can do to help yourself is to stay calm and know that you have done your very best.
We all believe in you, Aisha.
Dear Mrs Shepherd, you are so kind and lovely and I would love to do a sleepover in school and have a holiday on Friday. Can we please have some food and can people sell them? Bye Aisha Daud, Year 4.You’re really kind – I love Mrs Shepherd .
Dear Mrs Shepherd, you are so kind and generous. I wish we could have ice pops in the summer and I would love it if the ice pops could be 30p. Also, please can you change the scool meals to include things like – on a Thursday – having cheese burger. Maybe we can have juice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday please. Also, I would like to have Copthorne’s Got Talent earlier. Have a good day, by Aisha. 9 years old from Year 4. Thank you for reading my letter -you’re the best teacher in the world.
Mrs Shepherd, can you please reassure me about SATS because my nerves might get the best of me.
Please do not worry. We beleve in you and know that, as long as you follow the advice your teachers have given you you will do brilliantly. Make sure that you hve a good night’s sleep tonight and I’ll see you at Braekfast Club in the morning.
Aww. Thank you Mrs Shepherd – I won’t stress as much now because I know the teachers are behind me every step of the way!

I just want to say a massive thank you to all the teachers who have helped me to prepare for my SATS, I will do my best to make you proud!
What a lovely post, Imra. I know you will work hard. You have already made us proud.
At the end of our lessons we could show everyone our work. We should be able to have enough time at the end of the lesson.
That’s a great idea. In the lessons I’ve observed there is usually lots of opportunity to share the work you have done and to say what you think is good about it as well as what needs to be improved.

To be honest, I love the fact that the Year 6 teachers, Miss Bray and Miss Nelson, try to make the lessons extra fun.
And referring back to what Aribah said, sometimes we might pretend to be the teacher, but I would say that, in English, we do more activities which may include Hotseating. I think it is very good and helps me to develop my answering and understanding of questions more. For example, when we were doing news reports about the fake burglary, at the end of the lesson one person pretended to be a victim whilst the rest of the class asked questions. This activity (I think!), was very useful in helping us to achieve the next part of our target. The teacher also explained how open questions are mostly used when wanting loads of detail.

At the end of a lesson, to show the teacher what we have learnt, we pretend to be the teacher!

Sounds great, Aribah! Please can you give visitors to our blog a bit more information of what this involves and how it allows you to show your learning?
