Y6 Austerfield

What a fantastic day we had at Austerfield today! We spent the day working on our communication skills, team work and building relationships; most importantly we had lots of fun. Check out some of the photos that show the activities we took part in.

Crew Jackson – Second day back

28th August 2024Jillian Jackson

What another fabulous day we have had in Year 6! Firstly, we have collaborated on establishing our crew norms by thinking about how our classroom should look, feel and sound like if we are working hard, being kind and getting smart.

After playtime we buddied up with some Y11’s at XP East for a hangout. They told us all about what it is like to go to secondary school, answering lots of the children’s questions and easing any anxieties they may have around the transition from primary school. We hope to catch up with our new friends again later this term.

For the rest of the morning, the children wrote letters to themselves about what they want to achieve by the end of Year 6. The children all thought really carefully about their own personal goals and aspirations – considering their HOWLs, character growth, crew, SATs, academic success and beautiful work. After they finished, they were sealed in envelopes addressed to themselves and put away to save for the end of the year. The children will get to open and read them again in July and see the progress they have made and how successful they have been towards achieving their goals.

We finished the day by working collaboratively on digital escape rooms. Both myself and Mrs Rayner were impressed with their problem solving and communication skills.

Well done everyone – a great day! I can’t wait for Austerfield and our camp out tomorrow.

Crew Jackson – First day crew building

27th August 2024Jillian Jackson

This morning, Crew Jackson showed their fantastic crew building skills by working together to transport water from point A to point B. Despite only having 5 drainpipes that didn’t reach the final bucket, they used excellent communication skills to problem solve and avoided getting too wet! As a crew we took 1st place in the first race and a close 2nd place in the second race. Well done everyone for your hard work.

Y6 Leavers Assembly

19th July 2024Chris Mumby

As we close the chapter on another wonderful school year, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for attending the Year 6 Leavers Assembly. Your presence made the event truly special and memorable for our students, and we couldn’t have asked for a more supportive audience.

This assembly was more than just a celebration; it was a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and growth our Year 6 students have shown throughout their primary school journey. Seeing you there, sharing in their joy and accomplishments, reinforced the strong community we have built together. Your cheers, smiles, and even the occasional tear of pride, were the perfect send-off as our students prepare to embark on their next adventure in secondary school.

We also want to acknowledge the tremendous support and encouragement you’ve provided your children over the years. Your involvement in their education and school life has been invaluable, and it shows in the confident, capable young individuals they have become. The partnership between parents and school staff is truly the foundation of our students’ success.

As we bid farewell to our Year 6 students, we know they carry with them not only the knowledge and skills they’ve gained but also the love and support from you, their parents. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey.

Enjoy a few moments captured from yesterday. https://youtu.be/NSyCJ0WpNy8

It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later.
