Well done to our Y6 children who took part in the pyramid benchball competition on Wednesday at Trinity. Out of 8 teams competing we finished 3rd and 4th respectively. Well done Y6, keep your eyes peeled for the next competition!

A massive shout out to Theo’s Mum who came and spoke to the children this morning about her role as a train driver. The children loved hearing all about: the skills needed to be a train driver, what is involved in the day to day job and the importance of train safety. They went on to ask some thoughtful and enquiring questions and hopefully it will have inspired some of our children to set themselves aspirations for a future career. Ask the children if they can remember the importance of 6 sheep to a train driver; this was linked to an interesting but funny fact!

Well done to our Y6 athletes who qualified for the Doncaster finals yesterday at Trinity!

This morning Year 6 had a teacher from Trinity come and lead a maths session on simple algebra. It was fantastic to hear what a great impression the children made on their potential secondary school maths teacher; they demonstrated a hard-working attitude and a high level of respect. Well done everyone!

Last week we had the most amazing day at Harry Potter Studios – exploring the set, seeing original props and costumes from the films and participating in interactive experiences. Check out the many photos taken on the day using the link to the folder – can you spot yourself on a broomstick playing quidditch?

This morning in Year 6 we have explored using different watercolour techniques to create effects. After exploring and having a practice, we went on to create the night sky behind a Hogwarts silhouette. We are yet to complete them; I can’t wait to see the final pieces later this week.
