Sorry for the late update this evening. We have had a busy day full of adventurous activities that have really challenged our resilience and bravery. We have completed high ropes courses including the ‘leap of faith’, the Kind Swing, climbing, mountain biking and fencing! We have been working on setting ourselves goals for each activity and working towards these.
We spent the evening watching a film and chilling out after our visit to the shop! Here we are about to enjoy our relaxing evening.
Day 2- we have worked on our resilience today through a range of activities from climbing and king swing to mountain biking and kayaking. Everyone has tried hard to push themselves a little further and has learnt new ways to trust themselves and our teams.
We finished the day, tiring ourselves out on the bouncy castles and we reflected on everything that allowed us to be strong and powerful. We have all gone to bed exhausted and looking forward to what tomorrow has in store.
Please see below a link to the Year 6 ignite letter that went out yesterday via parent pay. The ignite will be held in school on Tuesday 18th September and children have been asked to dress up with a WWII theme. We can’t wait to spend the day igniting our new Code Breakers project!

Archery!
Climbing!
We have had an amazing first day on residential! We have been for a walk to Stanwick lakes where we saw a canal boat and helped open the lock. We loved playing on the play area and testing our bravery with the obstacle course. We have all enjoyed our first activity, which was either archery or climbing. Tonight we are going on a night walk and we can’t wait for our first nights sleep with our friends.
Hopefully photos to follow – we are having some problems uploading with the internet!
This summer, we would love for you to have a go at some of these activities:
And then… bring in a photo or blurb to tell us about your summer!
Enjoy the holidays!
From all the Year 5 and 6 Team
Today Year 6 have been working together to solve different measure problems.
Here are things we found out…
“We have found that some people’s arm span is the same as their height but this didn’t work for everyone. ”
“We measured the balcony in metres and it is 12.32m but also tried different methods like measuring it with our hands.”
Next week there is a Mathletics Summer Challenge, where we compete against other schools to get the most Mathletics points! The competition runs from 25th June – 1st July 2018.
Please encourage your children to get logged on and complete lots of activities on there so that they can gain points for our school (and practise lots of concepts that they’ve learnt this year in school)! We would love to get as many points as possible and get as high up on the schools leader board as we can!
Good luck everyone!
What an exciting afternoon we have had learning about the different courts and what happens. We even got to take part in a mock trial!
