A great start to the final half-term of primary school for Year 6.
Some marvellous myth writing was completed this week. The children's fantastic writing, from throughout their time in Year 6, was moderated at a central location yesterday. It was lovely to discuss the work and the progress they have made during this year; lots of positive comments were made.
The link to order the hoodies is now live on PC Sports:
The deadline to order the hoodies is Monday 20th June. As explained on the letter, FORP have kindly offered to provide the funding for these.
Children in Year 6 who wish to participate in the 'Grow your £5' challenge have now received the money so they can begin to unleash their inner entrepreneur. The Market Day events will be on Friday 24th June and Thursday 30th June. Today, we discussed their great ideas and are looking forward to this fabulous event.
Finally, the date of the Leaver's Performance has been confirmed as Tuesday 19th July at 1:45pm; we begin rehearsals next week.
A busy week completed.
Have a fabulous weekend!

Hi,
The children have been learning about ancient Greek myths this week. We focused on the myth of Perseus and Medusa, reading several versions of the story and enjoying an interactive performance from the Tempus Fugit theatre company. This inspired some super retelling of the story by revisiting the writing skills the children have learned throughout Year 6. It has been lovely to see the children including dialogue, 'show not tell' descriptions and accurate use of punctuation to write their fabulous myths.
Everyone enjoyed the Platinum Jubilee celebrations today. I hope you all continue to enjoy these over the half-term break.

Hi everyone,
Maple Tree Class have been focusing on their writing skills this week and using their recent residential experience to write some fabulous, persuasive leaflets. Everyone enjoyed talking about the great time we had on our residential and using this shared experience to inspire some super writing. I have been so impressed with the excellent vocabulary choices the children have made to encourage others to visit this fabulous destination (I will share some of the completed leaflets next week). The front covers that the children designed are also fabulous!
Have a great weekend!
