Smart cup treat – board game afternoon

As part of their smart cup treat from last term, Year 6 are having a board game afternoon tomorrow (Tuesday 16th June 2026). Whilst they are able to use the board games we have in school, they are very welcome to bring in those which they may have at home. The children have been reminded that they should be willing to share these games with their classmates and that they are responsible for ensuring they don’t lose any pieces!

We are looking forward to an afternoon of friendly competition!

Bikeability Year 6

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

Next week, Monday 15th – Thursday 18th June, Mrs Arthurs’ class will have Bikeability.

Children will not need to bring their own bikes or helmets as road-worthy bicycles are provided from Telford and Wrekin. The children do not need to be confident cyclists as this will be developed over the week. The sessions are one hour long and will run throughout the school day on Monday. From the second day, children who are able to ride a bike, will be allowed to complete level 2 – riding on roads. There will be trained instructors monitoring the children and their safety and pupils will learn about road safety, signalling and how to ride confidently outside. The children do not need to wear PE kit (apart from Tuesday) which is our usual PE day.

Mrs Stack’s class will complete this in two weeks.

Kind regards,
The Year 6 Team

Leavers’ Hoodies

Good afternoon,

Year 6 will be able to wear their leavers’ hoodies rather than their school jumper of fleece from Monday 29th June. They will still need to wear the rest of their usual school uniform.

Kind regards,
Year 6 Team

Discovering Darwin

Today in year 6, we enjoyed a workshop  about Charles Darwin. We learned about his early childhood and how he was fascinated with nature and science from a young age, later travelling around the world on HMS Beagle as a naturalist researching animals. Examining various objects: rocks, shells, beetles, fossils and insects, we discussed how we could classify them based on their characteristics. Becoming Darwinians, we observed the characteristics of different animals, drawing them with ink and a quill; we considered how they had adapted and evolved to survive in their environment . Finally, we created our own creature from a combination of different animals, labelling the features that would help it to survive.

Year 6 – Ancient Greece Workshop

Today, Year 6 enjoyed our workshop about Ancient Greece. We examined artefacts and learned how they were used; we even pretended to be archaeologists, uncovering broken artefacts and piecing them together to identify the original items and their purpose.  Taking on the identity of Ancient Greeks, we emulated the Spartan and Athenian societies before choosing which city state we preferred to live in. Finally, we learned about the Olympics and identified how mystery items were used in different sports.

Year 4, 5 & 6 DISCO Information – Thursday 21st May

Years 4, 5, 6, we hope you are as excited as we are for the upcoming D.I.S.C.O on Thursday! :)  Get those song requests handed in and practise those dance moves!

 

Can all children attending please enter through the main reception doors at 5.30pm.  You will see a member of staff for each year group ready to tick your name off the guest list and let you in, so please look out for your year group line to queue in.

Please note the collection points for each year group are slightly different and will be as follows:

Year 6 at the end of the disco will be taken out of the external door by the year 6 classrooms and will be released to parents/carers collecting from the Y6 gates. 

Year 5 at the end of the disco will be released from the hall exit doors to parents/carers.

Year 4 at the end of the disco to be will be taken back out of the main reception doors to parents/carers. 

The Disco will end at 7pm.

Please can we ask parents and carers dropping off to take their child’s coats with them once they have dropped off at the disco and then bring them back on collection. This will help with storage and ease during the disco. Thank you.

We can’t wait to see you there.

Y6 SATs

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We would like to remind you that Year 6 SATs week will take place next week. This is an important time for the children, and we are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout the year.

Our aim is to ensure that all children feel confident, calm, and well-prepared so they can do their very best.

Your support makes a huge difference. Here are some simple but effective ways to help your child feel ready:

 

  1. Prioritise a Good Night’s Sleep
  • Aim for an early bedtime each night
  • Ensure your child gets plenty of rest so they feel refreshed and focused
  • Try to keep a consistent bedtime routine

 

  1. A Healthy Start to the Day
  • Provide a nutritious breakfast each morning
  • Children are welcome (and encouraged) to attend our Breakfast Club, which will be available during SATs week

 

  1. Positive Encouragement
  • Remind your child that these tests do not define them
  • Use positive affirmations, such as:
    • “Just try your best – that is enough”
    • “You have worked hard and you are ready”
  • Keep conversations calm and reassuring

 

  1. Be Prepared
  • Ensure your child arrives at school on time each day
  • Make sure they have had breakfast and are ready to begin promptly

 

  1. Manage Worries
  • Encourage your child to talk about any worries
  • Reassure them that feeling a little nervous is normal
  • Let them know that staff are here to support them every step of the way

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils. SATs week is simply an opportunity for them to show what they have learned. Our focus is on ensuring the children feel supported, confident, and positive.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you for your continued support.
