… well for the weekend anyway!

SATs are over and the children have been relaxing in front of a film and celebrating with a game of rounders, football and delicious muffins, courtesy of Mrs Grey, and cupcakes, courtesy of Patrick and family. Many thanks for these sweet treats to end a focused and tiring week.

The children did themselves proud with their focus and perserverance while taking their assessments as well as their commitment to revision . A huge thank you to parents for supporting with the revision preparation period before SATs as this support really helped the children to have more of an ‘all-round’ confidence when approaching this week’s assessments.

It’s not all been about tests this week as Year 6 have voted for High School Musical to be their end of year production. We are currently arranging the licence with Disney and the children have been organising themselves with fundraising ideas and audition scripts and songs.  Children who are interested in a speaking part will be auditioning by reading a part of the musical’s script as well as singing part of a song from the production. These audition materials came home with the children today and the songs are available on YouTube/Vevo to provide musical accompaniment. We envisage beginning rehersals on Tuesday next week.

Lessons resume to normal next week and we will be focusing on writing narrative using a well-known fairy tale as inspiration and investigations/reasoning activities will be the focus in Maths. In RE, we will continue to look at the actions and thoughts of Thomas towards Jesus after the resurection through writing a monologue.The weekly prayer bag will resume next week. The prayers written, by the children, to share in our class worships have been beautifully thoughtful and reflective so thank you for your support and encouragement.

Have a wonderful ‘Eurovision’ weekend,

The Year 6 Team
