What an exhilerating week it has been! I think it is fair to say that we have all earned a well deserved break over the weekend. Our week started with the children using their delicate hand skills in DT for sewing. The following day consisted of our preparations for the end of year play, in which we have began to rehearse our second song that Year 5 are partaking in the play. Wednesday was our most anticipated day, as we all prayed for the weather to hold, for the Year 5/6 sports day! The sun was shining and the children were certainly running, along with jumping, passing, balancing and throwing. Congratulations to Harcourt for winning the upper KS2 sports day, giving their house a lead in the overall scores for the school cup. I simply could not have asked the children to run anymore when it came to our PE lesson the following day, which gave us a perfect opportunity to test our new golf equipment out- in preparations for the girls golf competition coming up. Unfortunately, unlike sports day, the weather did not hold up and our play around the golf course was halted by the heavy rain.

Let’s Celebrate
Virtue Star of the Week: Our virtues for this half term are curious and active. The star this week goes to Albert. Summer is certainly a time for sports and you have been super active this week. You had to run lots of double laps for your house on sports day and you did this with such a great attitude (even though you were very tired!). You also showed off your skills in our golf lessons during PE this week too!
Learner of the Week: Our certificate winner this week goes to Mia-Grace for being a focused and determined learner. I could not have faulted your work ethic and determination across this whole year Mia-Grace. Even when it is a subject you don’t necessary love (like maths) you still give it 100% and you are always trying to improve yourself through your learning- this has been amazing to see.
