End of year production

This year, Year 6 will be doing the production ‘Macbeth’. This is a really exciting production, as it involves lots of singing, dancing and theatrical acting – skills our Year 6 definitely have!! The children are also very excited about this, as it carries on from the work that they covered in Year 5. We will be showing our production on 22^nd July so please come and be entertained!

Hindleap Warren 2012
 
On 5th November 2012, Year 6 had the fantastic opportunity to go on a five day residential trip to Hindleap Warren.
This trip allowed us to partake in some amazing outdoor adventurous activities, such as abseiling, orienteering, high rise adventure, archery and team challenge tasks. Not to mention crawling through pitch black, muddy, wet tunnels and going on night walks with torches looking for animals.
 
Not only were our days action packed but we were also kept very busy in the evenings too - diary writing, swimming, arts and crafts and story telling in our pyjamas with hot chocolate before bedtime.
 
We all had an amazing experience and have now got some special memories which we will treasure for ever!!

We go on exciting trips including a one weeks residential trip to Hindleap Warren....  This is an amazing experience, where we cover aspects of the curriculum that can't be covered in a city school - such as rock climbing, watching the star, night walks, orienteering, and much more!
