Year 6 News
Fri 14 Jun 2024This week, year 6 have been extremely busy! Some of us have been writing different narratives to improve our writing standards and some of us have been doing computing, completing our spreadsheet unit! On Tuesday, we enjoyed our annual visit to the river Erewash to test the river speed as part of our year 6 field work. The children were really enthused and extremely well behaved throughout. In addition to this, we have been working on our DA&RT program which comes to a close today! We will begin preparations for our DA&RT graduation next week. Lastly, Mrs. Woolley has been busy starting up our end-of-year production. The children now have their parts and their scripts to learn their lines. A busy week, which will be followed by another busy week next week. As ever, we are extremely proud of the children and how they are conducting themselves through this busy time.

Football Team News
Fri 07 Jun 2024Yesterday, a group of year 4,5 and 6 boys travelled to Round Hill Primary School for the annual football tournament. Although we did not win, the children played with fantastic spirit and came away with a point in one of the games, which is huge progress from where the boys were at the start of the year. We had stand out performances from all of the boys and we are so proud of their relentlessness on the playing field. The tournament was eventually won by Bramcote C of E with Fairfield Primary School as the runners up.
