Y6 – Friday 16th June 2023 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6
Please note: Our school photo was emailed to families on Friday 16h June - please refer to the email for details of how to order. Thank you.
Looking back:
So, another week has zipped by and what an exciting time it has been. There is a real “buzz of excitement” as our South African visitors arrived and brought an extra sweep of positivity and energy across the school. Aside from spending time with our new friends, we have been busying ourselves with a main focus on our play, beginning a new maths project based upon “White Rose Tours”. Currently, we are at the point of calculating miles & distances of major cities around the world, from London. During our afternoons, we have enjoyed dancing with our visitors; continued learning about Benin; enjoyed French cricket; chatted and played games with our new classmates; continued making our hats; and on Friday, we celebrated with our school sports day.
Keep your eyes out below for details of upcoming dates and ‘things to note’. Thank you.
