Year Six

Here are a couple more photos from day 4 of the amazing Year 6 Residential.

We had somewhat of a lethargic start to the day today with many only just making it to breakfast. After destroying another box of Frosties and 132 loaves of bread we had the fun activity of packing and cleaning our tents. This was more work than any activity we had...

Firstly, apologies for no day three update; I was too busy pushing children off their paddleboards. Day three was a hot one! And we were on-site, down by the river and in a sun trap – the local hospital was put on alert for the burns Mr Evans would probably be...

We started the day with a big breakfast of cereal, toast and yoghurt. Children are taking it in turns in groups of 3 to prepare the dining area and clean away after the meal. Barney’s hosting skills are on fire and I will certainly go to a party he is hosting if the...

On the final week of term, we were delighted to welcome Mr Singh into school. He conducted a whole-school assembly and then two workshops for Year 6 and Year 5. He talked about life as a Sikh and explained the key articles within the Sikh religion: Kesh, Kangha, Kara,...
