Hi,
This week has flown by. Whilst our statutory assessments are completed, we are still very busy!
The children have been busy reading through our leavers' production script and learning the songs. Individual parts will be given out next week and then the fun of bringing the production together will begin! The children have had an amazing attitude.
The preparation for the 'Grow a £5' event continues with business plans and promotional posters being created. The children will be explaining their market day event in assembly on Wednesday. The dates of the market events are:
Friday 24th June 2-4pm
Thursday 30th June 2-4pm
Both market day events will be in the hall and both children and parents will get the opportunity to attend.
Bikeability starts on Monday. All children know which group they are in and which days they are cycling. Children need to remember to wear appropriate clothing (possibly sun cream) and bring a bike lock if they are using their own bike.
The last day to order a leavers' hoodie is Monday. I have reminded those children who have not yet placed an order. Unfortunately, PC sports will not accept orders after this date as the hoodies are printed in bulk.
Finally, the next transition day for Benton Park is on Tuesday 21st June.
Enjoy the sunshine and have a lovely weekend.

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.
