Dancing, singing and laughing has most definitely been the theme for the week this week in Year 6! You are in for such a treat with their end of year play. When I watch them on stage now, I can’t believe some of them are the same children that started the play 3 weeks ago. Their confidence has grown so much and are now so much more comfortable on stage that they are bringing their characters fully to life! This week we have more or less completed the play, with just the final scene to go, so next week we will be running from the top all the way through each day, to tweak any changes we may need to. Please make sure Year 6 spend some time this weekend going back over all of their lines, thank you. On Monday, we will be starting to try on our costumes to ensure children have got everything they need, so please make sure all items they need arrive in to school by this time if needed. If you have not heard about costumes as yet, then you will on Monday! This is a long process, so bear with us. Thank you to all those who have sent in costumes and items already!
Year 6 have been so busy in class too, during play rehearsals, they have continued to work hard on their class novel ‘Skellig’, looking deeper in to the text by answering some tricky comprehension questions. Maths fluency and reasoning has continued with puzzles and problems and the children have started their transition lessons, where we talked about how we choose our own attitudes and reflected on what we need to do to be a ‘kid awesome’ and become success learners!
Year 6 have excelled in their jobs around the school this week and the teachers have been praising them on their support within the classroom, in fact I think they wished they were in there permanently. They have sat with the children in their class at lunchtimes to help keep the noise levels down, they have been supporting them in their work, reading with children and even building towers in Reception…
Such a shame about the weather on Wednesday, typically the sun was shining the next day! Don’t forget the new date for Sports Day is 12th July, 1:30pm.
Well done to James and Hollie-Rose
Hollie-Rose, you are so pro-active and hands on, always ready to help when needed and see what needs doing! You are such a caring learner partner, thank you for always having patience and showing love to your classmates- you make our class a happy place to be!
Wow James, you astound with just how resilient and determined you are at learning all of your lines- and you have tons! Not only do you come prepared, clearly having practiced your expression and understanding of what you are saying but so much enthusiasm! You are a joy to work with on stage and that smile is contagious! Thank you for making my job as director so much easier.
Intentional and Prophetic Butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intentional in the choices they make, thinking about the impact this has on the world and others around them. We will also be spotting children who are prophetic, who do good deeds and who stand up for that is right. This week we thank Christian for being intentional and prophetic.
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:
