Summer Music Festival Planning!

By Willow Class , in Year 6 - Friday, 16 June 2023

During our Maths lessons in Year 6 this week, we have been planning our very own summer music festival! We have had lessons focusing on layout of our event, calculating our income, calculating our outgoings and then working out if we have made a profit. We are so pleased to say that all of us have made a great profit! Today's lesson will focus on advertising to ensure that people want to visit. It has been a fantastic project!

Year 6 have had two of their PE session with Stevenage Football Club and so far, they are loving it!

Frolicking fun in they sun!

By Year 6 Teachers , in Year 6 - Tuesday, 23 May 2023

As a reward for all of their hard work throughout the year, all Year 6 children spent the day playing together in the sun at Fairlands Valley Park. They took a leisurely stroll down in the morning, had lots of time to play on the equipment, enjoyed a picnic lunch and then headed back to school. It was a wonderful chance for them to unwind and spend some quality time together!

Graffiti Revision!

By Year 6 Team , in Year 6 - Wednesday, 10 May 2023

This week is an important week in Year 6. It is the childrens' chance to show how hard they have worked and to be proud of their learning. We are already half way through the tests and the children can't believe how quickly it is going! As there are only Maths papers left, we spent some time this afternoon completing revision tasks. To make this a little mor fun, the teachers wrote questions on the tables! 

Mental Health Support

By Year 6 Teachers , in Year 6 - Monday, 17 April 2023

Good afternoon everyone - we hope that the children had a great first day back at school! 

There is a new site working in partnership with the NHS to support mental health for children aged 10-25.  Alongside offering advice, they offer a consultation quiz and can offer free therapy if they feel it meets the criteria. Children aged under 12 can receive this therapy but must have an adult in the room when doing so. 

Here is the link for the website: https://sandbox.mindler.co.uk/
