News Year 6

We have been feeling very festive at Cypress Upper this week.

Christmas has really taken off at Atwood this week. A slighter shorter newsletter this week as, amidst all the usual learning, everyone has either been performing or rehearsing for shows. 

On Monday 9th December, Year 5 and 6 members of the upper school choir visited Acacia Care Centre.

We are very proud to announce that Miss Chapman, Deputy Head of School, is part of a Department for Education campaign to promote careers in the Early Years. 

December has arrived and the school is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

The Whitehorse Football Team have been busy this half-term under the watchful eyes of Mr Bloomfield, Mr Anderson and Ms Marshall. 

On Monday, the Whitehorse Manor Year 5 and 6 Athletics team competed at the Indoor Athletics Competition held at Lanfranc School. 

Yesterday was the first meeting of this academic year for our newly appointed Wellbeing Ambassadors.

Year 6 had an amazing day out at the Natural History Museum, filled with excitement and discovery!

This week, we have been showing how kind and caring we are towards each other as it has been ‘Friendship Week’  At the Lower School, we started the week with a special assembly led by Miss Williams where we learnt all about what it means to be a good friend.

On Monday morning, at the Upper School, the House Captains delivered a very emotive and informative assembly. 

A busy week again at Atwood. In Reception, the children have been busy learning about being a resilient learner and developing their writing skills.

On Wednesday 13th November, the children and staff at Whitehorse Manor Junior School celebrated the meaning of RESPECT for our individuality and expressed this through wearing ‘odd socks’.  

Our Black History Month celebration is always such a positive way to end the term. 

It was simply delightful to meet the newly elected members of year 6 School Council 24-25.
