Well done to all of Year 6 who have completed their KS2 SATs this week – you are all fabulous!

As a reward for their hard work and commitment, the children had a chill out day on Friday where they spent quality time with each other playing laughing and eating of course! We started the day with some rounders and cricket, thanks to Mr Youson! We then had the pleasure of watching everyone perform their talents to the rest of the class.

Grace H and Aoife showcased their gymnastic talents:

Michael performed a total of 51 kick ups:

Lewis and Callum M tickled us with some of their favourite jokes

Ben S, Finn and Jude performed a comedy act:

Catherine performed a good rendition of a song from her favourite artist, Megan Trainor:

Issy and Kupa educated us (particularly myself and Mrs Elkins) about Chelsea FC:

Sophie sang and danced her way through Hairspray:

Roisin performed a lyrical dance routine to Human by Chrisitna Perri (bringing a tear to our eyes):

Ben J and Ciaran (with a little help from Michale and Callum K) did a rendition of Mrs Jones’ rugby tour song.

Grace B showcased her netball shooting skills:

Orla J and Cecilia performed a medley of popular songs and danced too!

Henryk and Joe became Bruno Mars’ as they performed Uptown Funk to some interesting moves!

Orla presented us all with her swimming achievements to date:

Ciara played the guitar whilst Bronagh, Maticia and Amie sung alongside her:

Kelsey played the piano beautifully:

Jue-Eun and Jordan showcased their artistic talents and taught us a thing or two about how to draw:

Callum showed us some of his football skills:

Annie sang a beautiful version of Ella Henderson’s song ‘Yours’. Unfortunately, I was so engrossed in listening to her sing, I forgot to take a photo. Re-take Annie?

The children rehearsed and performed their talents well. It was a perfect time for us to recognise eachother’s talents outside of academic subjects. The children voted for their favourite act.

1st place: Roisin Gaffney

2nd place: Joe and Henryk

3rd place: Annie

Well done all!

After lunch, it was party time! We enjoyed a shared buffet and some yummy pizza, whilslt we played games, sang and danced along to the music (and took a LOT of selfies thanks to Orla’s selfie stick!).

I hope Year 6 enjoyed the day celebrating their achievements, talents and friendships.

They truly have made Mrs Elkins and me proud!

Mr Evans emailed these over so you can continue to practice ukulele at home in preparation for the Wider Ops concert.

All of me

Somewhere only we know

Wow! What a week we’ve had! We had an amazing kick start to the week with a maths and literacy treasure hunt making our revision much more fun! In the afternoon, we continued to revise our grammar knowledge by competing in a grammar-off!

After a brain-training Monday, we continued to revise more on Tuesday. However we did break it up a little with a Science lesson learning about Electricity. We made some amazing posters to teach others all about staying safe with electricity. In the afternoon, we practiced some songs for the much anticipated play… PORRIDGE! Following this, we put our dancing shoes and began planning out dance in preparation for making a music video!

Wednesday had more treasure hunts in store to practice our mental maths – we got pretty competitive! This only got worse as we competed to solve a murder mystery using our knowledge of punctuation to narrow down the list of suspects. In PE we started putting together our own sequences for gymnastics: some of us worked independently whilst others worked in partners.

Our Friday ICT lesson involved us starting to create our own websites – We can’t wait to complete them and make them live! Mrs Hartwell also handed her teaching hat over to us as she set us the task of learning about something we find tricky and teaching it to someone else – it was really fun to do and really helpful to remember those little things some of us had forgotten!

You can see Michael and Ben J’s rap on different types of nouns… It took a while to get the full rap out as Michael kept bursting into laughter…

Well done to Sophie and Aoife for receiving Superstar this week for the superb efforts!

Wow – What a super busy term! Time has flown whilst Year 6 have been busy being mathematicians, authors, radio advertisers, game creators, scientists, geographers and much much more! I am so proud of how hard all of Year 6 have worked this term and how much progress they have continued to make!

We have also had our share of fun and laughter! Most recently, Crazy Hair Day saw Year 6 sporting a range of crazy do’s to raise money for Myton Hospice! On Wednesday morning the children and teachers were very sneaky as they played some naughty tricks on each other for April Fools Day. Aoife made some tasty barbeque sauced filled croissants to add to Mr Youson’s Ketchup filled doughnuts in the Staffroom, which a few teachers naively tucked into! Roisin offered some toothpaste cupcakes around the playground whilst Miss Cowley got her own back on Mr Youson when she turned him into a glitter fairy! Up in Year 6, Mrs Hartwell and Mrs Elkins had been hatching their own tricks. Children opened the toilet lids to find scary monsters staring back at them, whilst Annie delivered me my glasses I had been looking for…

I got my own back as I gave children a quiz to do which had them acting out all sorts of silly things! I rewarded the first 5 children to finish with a tasty treat – a swiss roll (a swiss roll that had been unrolled and had its jam filling exchanged for ketchup). Muahahaaaaaa….

Yesterday, we ended the term with a mix of emotions as we helped our prayer friends on an Easter Egg Treasure Hunt, cheered on the Easter Bonnet Parade, said our goodbyes to Mr Brightside by singing him our very own version of his song, congratulated all the winners of the Easter Raffle before shedding a tear as we wished each other a safe and happy Easter holiday (knowing deep down how much we’d all miss one another!).

So, Year 6, enjoy your Easter holidays, as you truly deserve it! (Although, don’t forget to do your homework – check the homework page for details to refresh your memory).

Happy Easter! 🙂

Mrs Hartwell
