All the routines were put together using Daft Punk – Around the World as the music.

Yr 6 PE Kit Reminder

All Yr 6 children will need PE kit in school tomorrow (Thursday)

Where possible, outdoor kit is advised. This term we will be looking at tag rugby, dance, gymnastics as well as our continued swimming provision.

Many thanks.

Revolting Rhymes

Class 6B have had a lot of fun today celebrating Roald Dahl day! We heard some of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes and created some of our own, during our English lesson. We then performed our rhymes to the class.
Mr Rotherham kindly set up a Roald Dahl character treasure hunt in the playground, where we tried to find twelve Roald Dahl characters.

Class 6B

A great first week back by class 6B! We have started our English topic, looking at the book ‘Varmints’ and have enjoyed reading the text. We have begun to read the book ‘Letters from the Lighthouse’ in our guided reading sessions, looking at key vocabulary within the text. We also had a fun PE lesson in the hall, using the apparatus.
Well done 6B!

Monday 18th September 2023

If your Year 6 child will be taking the 11+ on Monday 18th September please can we ask that you email njs.admin@taw.org.uk to inform them about your child’s attendance that day.

If your child is in the first session for the 11+ they can then return to school for the afternoon.  If your child is in the second session for the 11+ they can attend for school first and then be collected as required from the school office.

Please email njs.admin@taw.org.uk with your plans for your child that day so we aren’t contacting you unnecessarily.

Thank you for your support,

Year 6 House Team Captain Voting – Friday Afternoon

A reminder that on Friday 8th, we will be holding our first House Team Meetings of the year. During these, the Year 6 children will be given the opportunity to stand for House Team Captain. 

We ask the children that want to put themselves forward prepare a short speech outlining the reasons as to why people should vote for them.

The winners, including vice captains, will be announced in assembly on Friday afternoon.

Year 6 – Welcome Back

The year 6 team are really looking forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday. We hope you have enjoyed a rest over the summer break.

Just a gentle reminder that on Wednesday we are expecting the children to return to school with their pencil case, water bottle and P.E Kit. Children may also wish to bring a free choice reading book with them from home.

Each class has 1 PE session this week. With the hot weather being forecast, we advise bringing sun hats and sun cream.

During the next few days we will be sorting our roles such as Worship Leaders, School Council and House Team Captains – children may wish to begin thinking about a short speech they would like to deliver, if they feel confident enough to put themselves forward for any of these roles.

Enjoy your final few days off,

Year 6 Team.

Year 6 Thursday

Year 6 need to remember to meet us at church tomorrow morning. They also need a fabric pen for their shirt signing, a ‘bag for life’ to carry their books home and a change of clothing for their Leaver’s Party.
Thanks!
