Goodbye

As well as saying goodbye to the year 6 children, we said goodbye to Mrs Bevan, Mrs Leaworthy, Mrs Staples, Mrs Graham, Miss Wright and Mrs Nicholson. We wish them all the best in the future and thank them for all their hard work for the school.




Leavers mass


It was an emotional farewell to our year 6 children and several members of staff. It was also a time to celebrate the achievements of the school year.











Choir

What a brilliant year for the school choir! They have been giving lots of performances recently. Here are some videos of them singing in assembly.

Well done the Choir and Mrs Marsh!

Year 6 Performances of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes

Year 6 produced some outstanding and enjoyable performances of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes. The children have worked hard adapting the popular story into a playscript, adding lots of their own material. It was a real team effort with all the children playing a part. Their brilliant personalities really brought the play to life.

Well done!

Miss Geach's Multi Skills Club

Tuesday was the last session for Miss Geach's after school club. The children have been working on ABC'S; Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed.

This last session was a chance for the children to demonstrate the skills that they have learnt over the course.
Well done children (and Miss Geach) for all the effort and hard work!

Infants sing up at Vassals Park

All the infants went for a trip down to Vassals Park on Tuesday to sing some songs. We sat down for a healthy picnic on the grass before standing in a big circle and singing. The children sang very nicely and did all the actions to the songs. After that we all went into the children's play area to use the equipment. It was great to see all the children using their social skills and co-operation whilst playing.

Thank you to all the parents and friends for your help in walking to and from the park and your help when the children were playing. Your help makes a big difference to these trips.

Year 6 Playground Project Winners

The winning project was produced by 'The Renaissance' Team. I was impressed by the quality of their presentation skills and their clear ideas. Their project pack included clear plans, diagrams, costings, market research and had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve.

Well done 'The Renaissance!'
