Year 6 Weekly Blog 'Everything is possible, even the impossible' Mary Poppins

The sun has been shining all week this week and so has our enthusiasm! The children are working tirelessly on their play and on their work in class, and although it has been very hot during rehearsals this has not held us back! Mary Poppins is coming along perfectly (of course, in every way), we completed the very famous ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ this week and loved every minute of it. Keep going with learning and practicing lines at home, as all of their hard work is paying off. We now just need to work on our volume and intonation as we say our lines.

Water Parks Day 2

What an amazing day we have all had! After a surprisingly calm and restful night’s sleep, the children were up and ready to go this morning. We have been so proud of how all the children have eased in to their new routines and embraced every opportunity they have been given. There has been incredible team work, acts of bravery and a steely determination to try new activities.

To make the day even greater, it is Adam’s birthday and what an unforgettable day it has been! We have made sure throughout the day he got all the ‘birthday boy’ preferential treatments from being first up the magic ladder to leading his team up the ghyll (even ‘seconds’ at dinner time). After dinner, we all gathered together to sing for the third time today ‘Happy Birthday’ and celebrated with this magnificent cake, that we can’t wait to tuck in to as our evening snack!

Mrs Harrison and Mr Nay’s group today, enjoyed a lovely canoe across the lake to do a spot of climbing up a rock face. Then this afternoon, we had wind surfing on the lake- the children were fabulous at this!

Mrs Mather’s group had a wonderful walk up the ghyll this morning and then in the afternoon faced their fears on the ‘leap of faith’ challenge and balancing on top of poles.

Mrs Webster’s group this morning completed the high ropes challenge and climbing and then had a very wet walk up the ghyll this afternoon.

We really could not ask any more of these children, they are giving everything such a good go, but most importantly working as a team and really looking after to one another.

What a pleasure they are to take away! They will most definitely sleep well tonight after such an active day!

Water Parks Day 1

We have arrived and we couldn’t have got off to a better start. After a very excited lunch, the clouds parted and the sun shone ready for our afternoon activities.

Mrs Harrison and Mr Nay’s group were up to their knees in the ghyll and it wasn’t long before we were all bobbing about laughing in the water and pushing our heads under the waterfall.

Mrs Mather’s group had a much more relaxing afternoon, gently canoeing back and forth across the lake.

Mrs Webster’s group mastered the art of sailing this afternoon, but the biggest thrill was most definitely jumping off the Jetty in the late afternoon sunshine. You may have heard the squeals of delight all the way back in St Anne’s.

We think everyone will sleep well tonight, ready for another fun day tomorrow.

Year 6 Weekly Blog- “We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already.” J K Rowling

This power was most certainly evident in the Year 6 classroom this week and as Mark reminded us on Wednesday (May 4th) that it was in fact the annual Star Wars Day! So, with this in mind, we have decided that every day, we are going to say ‘may the force be with you’, to remind ourselves that we hold this power, our inner strength, to do the best that we can, and as we remind the children daily, that their best is ALWAYS good enough. This week in class, the children have most certainly given just that… they have worked incredibly hard, as Mrs Gregan has said they have done all year round.
