A good start for Year 6

Year 6 has been amazing so far! We’ve learned loads of new things, especially in our World War II topic, which has been super interesting. We’ve also been trying out different ways to solve tricky questions, which has made learning even more fun. 
One of our favourite parts of the day is reading our class book, Crater Lake. It’s really exciting and keeps us guessing! In English, we’ve been writing in a new way and using some brilliant vocabulary that makes our work sound really grown-up. 
At the start of the year, we went to Stubbers and it was epic! We got to climb high ropes, go abseiling, and even tried double kayaking. Some of us were nervous, but we faced our fears and had a blast. The evening disco was awesome too—we danced loads and laughed with our friends. We’re already excited for the school disco coming up soon! 
There’s still so much to look forward to in Year 6. We can’t wait to go swimming and have our camp out on the field--it’s going to be so cool sleeping under the stars with our classmates! 
In music, we’ve been playing glockenspiels and learning the song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley. It’s part of our lessons for Black History Month and it’s been really fun to learn about different music and cultures. 
This half term, some of us were chosen to be prefects and house captains, which means we get to help out more around school. It feels great to have extra responsibilities and be role models for the younger children. 
We also had our first practice SATs and guess what? They weren’t as scary as we thought they’d be! We’re feeling more confident now and ready to keep working hard. 
We cannot wait to see what else year 6 has in store for us! ​
