YEAR 6 ARMS (RED)
Mrs Humberston & Ms WoodWelcome to 6H (ARMS Provision) Class Blog!
In 6H our class teacher is Mrs Humberston & our fantastic teaching assistant is Ms Wood.
The children in this class work very hard but also have a lot of fun.
They have the superb reputation of being one of the most polite and well behaved classes in the school.
The children come from all over Gateshead and some are lucky enough to get a taxi to school.
We all are very kind and respectful towards each other and have lots of fun learning together.
We would like to use this blog to share our homework, our ideas, our fascinating finds, upcoming events and photographs, and we`d really like to know what everyone thinks of them.
Keep Blogging!
Mrs Humberston, Ms Wood & 6H

Home Learning Tips for Parents
I think all of us would agree that home schooling is tricky at times and children don't always want to do their school work, which can lead to frustration and stress - this is what happens in my house at least! One reason can be that children see a big list of things...
