Year 5/6

June Update

What an incredible few weeks we've had in Year 5/6!

Our biggest focus at the moment has been preparing for our end-of-year production, The Rocky Monster Show. We are really looking forward to welcoming you to watch the performance on Wednesday 1st July. The children have worked incredibly hard learning their lines, songs and routines. Performing a full production with such a small cohort is no easy task, but they have embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and determination. They have truly demonstrated our PRIDE values by being Proactive, Responsible, Inquisitive, Determined and Engaged.

A special mention also goes to our Year 6 children, who showed fantastic responsibility and teamwork during Sports Day. They helped to lead the afternoon, cheered each other on and were brilliant role models throughout. Little did we know that the endurance test in the heat would be the perfect preparation for our Robinwood residential just a few days later!

Which leads me nicely on to the biggest highlight of this newsletter – our Robinwood residential! What an unforgettable few days we had. The children threw themselves into every activity with courage and enthusiasm, from canoeing and caving to rock climbing, the trapeze, zip line, giant swing, archery, the dungeon and the crate challenge, to name just a few. They represented our school brilliantly, encouraging one another and stepping outside their comfort zones.

The heat was certainly an extra challenge, but the children coped exceptionally well and should be very proud of themselves. They made memories that I'm sure will last a lifetime. Group photographs and certificates will be coming home later this term for you to keep and cherish for years to come! 

Although we all returned home feeling rather exhausted, the fun certainly doesn't stop there! We still have our end-of-year production, leavers' celebrations and plenty more exciting activities to enjoy together before the summer holidays.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We're looking forward to making the most of these final weeks together.
