26th February 2026 – PE OAA
PE in year 6 this term is OAA, which is outdoor adventure activities; this is seriously so much fun. We get to do treasure hunts and trust games. Sometimes it can be scarey but mostly it’s great because you are doing it with your friends. Plus you get to learn the compass points better and know your directions more, as well as developing your problem-solving skills. I would recommend everyone to do some OAA if they get the opportunity.
23rd February 2026 – SATS Club
SATS club over the holidays was really fun. We were at school when no-one else was! We had lots of time to focus on things were hard for us and really work out how to do them. We also had time to play on the playground with some special toys that Mrs Wakeling let us borrow – an archery set and a quoits set. It was exciting being in school when no other kids were there. I’d like to do it again during the Easter holidays because it was special for us and also super useful.
2nd February 2026 – Rocksteady
I want to use my blog time to tell you about Rock Steady. It’s an amazing club that runs every Thursday where you get to be part of a band. You can play bass guitar, electric guitar, drums, keyboard or sing and it is just SO MUCH FUN. I love it. We do all different kinds of songs and music and the time goes way too quick.
19th January 2026 – Film Club
Last week I went to film club after school. It was so exciting – we turned year 6 into a cinema; there were sofas and cushions and blankets everywhere to be comfortable on plus everyone had popcorn and hot chocolate to enjoy while watching the film. We watched ‘A Monster Calls’; a very scary as well as emotional film. People were crying at some points, even the adults. I can’t wait to see what the next film is next term…
5th January 2026 – Triple E Day
When we came back to school this week it was EEE day, which is always fun! In year 6, we wrote scripts and dressed up to act out the plays. The volume and clearness of our speaking improved through doing this, while we also enjoyed it. A great first day back.
7th November 2025 – German Pen-pals – Teacher visits us
Last week a teacher from our partner German school came to visit us; it was really exciting because she brought letters and some small presents from our penpals too. We all loved opening our letters plus the gifts were a big surprise. As we are writing to our penpals, we are getting to know them better and better now: what they like to eat, what their favourite colours are, which music they loke and many other things. I love having a penpal because it feels like I have a new friend.
6th October 2025 – German Pen-pals
Year 6 are so excited this week. We had a zoom meeting with our German partner school and some of us got to speak to our pen-pals! It was really exciting and also scary because we were actually speaking to them in German. Next week the people who didn’t talk will get the chance to say something to their pen-pals too. The good thing is we will already know our pen-pals before we go to Germany and meet them.
