If you would like to attend a grammar school or a school of a high standard you will have to take an exam called 11+. You will have two exams, verbal and non verbal to get into the school you have applied for.
The girl’s grammar school is called Woodford County and the boy’s school is Ilford County. When you have taken the test they put the scores in order and they count out 120, and the first 120 get a place in Woodford county or Ilford County.
11+ is an optional exam you take it in a different school to the school you attend. Your parents and head teacher have to fill or sign a form to make sure they know your taking the test and to fill in any allergies, health problems and any other concerns your they have.
After you have done everything choose the dates for the exam then you take the exam and see if you have passed or failed. If you are taking your 11+ GOOD LUCK!

Tuition Centres in Redbridge
There is a wide range of tuition centres in the Redbridge community. They start tutoring from a very young age towards university. Some teachers teach different subjects and some just teach only one. For instance some might teach Primary School, Secondary School, University, 11+, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4, EDEXCEL, GCSE, and A Level.
Some people get tutors to come to their house and teach individually or some children can get group classes. Or people have to travel to tutor’s houses to have class or individual lessons.
Some people don’t teach educationally but teach entertainments by teaching sports or games.
Tuition Centres try to push the child to its best ability in all subjects because they think everyone needs to do their best.
This is what a KS1 teacher reported “I think they should have a short period of the lessons because they aren’t settled properly as they want to play more. They want to have fun while learning these new methods. They need simple explanations.

Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is a type of medical treatment that helps a person move someone’s body. If you’ve had a broken bone or an injury and can’t do things like you used to, physical therapy helps you to move your body better. Physical therapists know lots about how the body moves and how to improve your movement. They treat patients as young as babies and as old as great-grandparents. During sessions they teach them some exercises and special stretches.
Healthy foods and drinks
Eating fruits, vegetables and healthy drinks helps your body stay healthy. Tricks to eating healthy foods are eating them prepared in different ways. Drinks like water, milk and 100% fruit juice. School age children should drink at least 6 to 8 ounces of fruit juice a day. Some children choose sports drinks, fizzy and fruit flavoured drinks. They’re ok once in a while but not all the time.
Any breakfast is better than no breakfast. Some skip breakfast because they sleep too late or they want to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn’t help people have the right weight. People who skip breakfast eat more calories during the day. Children who don’t eat breakfast are less able to learn in school.

Heart attacks
The Heart is the most important organ of the body.
Being overweight or not doing enough exercise it can cause a serious heart attack. Also eating high-fat food can cause heart attack too. It is not good for you if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Smoking is the worst habit because this habit can easily cause a heart attack. Most heart attacks occur when you have coronary disease. The following can cause heart attacks and can damage your heart; taking certain drugs, emotional stress or pain, exposure to extreme cold, cigarette smoking. When an extreme panic has just happened that can cause a heart attack. Arteriosclerosis a type of disease. This disease hardens the arteries and makes it no longer flexible.
A heart attack happens when blood flows to part of the heart muscle and is blocked. The blockage harms part of the heart because it is no longer getting oxygen from the blood. Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries; sometimes a heart attack can be caused by a spasm, or tightening of a coronary artery. Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply oxygen and blood to the heart muscle. In coronary artery disease, the inside of the coronary arteries narrow and hardens because of the build-up of fat material called plague. Blood flows to the heart muscle and then is decreased. If the plague cracks or breaks open, a blood clot can form on the surface of the plague. The clot also called a thrombus can completely block blood flow in the artery. Once the flow of blood is blocked, a heart attack will happen when a part of the heart muscle becomes damaged. The heart may not be able to pump blood throughout the body very well. This can cause chest, arm, back or jaw pain or shortness of pain.
If you are concerned that your are having serious pain or if you eat quite a lot of fatty foods then we suggest that you should have a check up at your local GP (General practitioner).
Redbridge works hard to help people who suffer from heart disease and put a lot of work in the community to keep people fit and healthy.

Introduction to Y6 Community Project
In Year 6 this half term we are looking at our local community and the facilities that are available for adults and children. The pupils of William Torbitt Primary School will be researching, contacting and communicating with members of the community to explore what Redbridge has to offer. We hope that you will find our research useful.
