News Year 6

After a long drive and some coach delays, our Year 6 adventurers have settled into camp, unrolled their sleeping bags and got stuck in to woodland life!

It was a long drive there, but they’ve made it. Year 6 arrived at Boughton Wood around 2:00pm.

Year 3 and 4 (Ruby, Gus, Lucy and James) took part in a mini tennis competition at South Croydon Sports Centre, competing against 7 schools in Croydon.

We had an amazing time this afternoon. We were thoroughly entertained by our talented children.

This week has been a testing week for our Year 6s.

Whilst studying the book ‘Wolf Brother’ the year 6 children wrote a letter from the book’s main character to his father in the afterlife. 

What a way to end the week- a celebration for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

The children had fun today celebrating the up coming Queen’s Jubilee. 

Sunday May 15th Multiple locations – see below 9:30am @ South Norwood Lakes for age 10+ 11am @ Monument for all abilities A fantastic and fun co-creation with our friends at Kidical Mass London, we’re going for a ride to (for big kids) and through (for everyone) Central London, a parade with IBikeLondon’s wonderful cargo bike sound systems loaded up with a family friendly playlist along the Thames Cycleways, lunch in Southwark Park (great cafe with wide range of kid friendly options!),

We hope you are all prepared for Year Six’s bushcraft adventure next week, especially as the weather forecast is looking hopeful!

We’ve had a lovely day in the sun at Cypress and it’s been great to see everyone enjoying our wonderful school grounds. 

Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who joined us for the last meeting about this month’s residential trip for Year 6.

As part of their Literacy work around the text ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver, Year 6 were visited by two cave people, Twig and Ochre, who camped on the field at Whitehorse Manor Junior School for 3 nights. 

Over the last couple of weeks, Year 6 have been studying the text ‘Varmints’ by Helen War and Marc Craste. 

As we come into the Christmas season many parents may be considering buying tablets or laptops for their children which will allow them to access social media sites.
