This week has certainly been a week of looking into the future and preparing for the next two stages of the children’s lives in school. On Wednesday, we took a trip to St Bedes for our high school transition day. The theme was Science and Technology, with the children being split into different groups with children from different schools. They got struck straight into the labs and dived into some high school investigating and making activities. The following day. the children spent the morning up in Year 6 for their Our Lady’s transition day. Classmates and teachers were familiar to the children but they loved spending time in their new classroom, ready for September. Rehearsals for the end of year play continue to ramp up with us now being off script for our songs and speaking lines (keep practicing these at home).
Our week was started off in celebration as our girls cricket team took the field and participated in the Fylde and Wyre County trials. The girls played so well and with so much spirit. They came out as the best performing school in the fylde district and have been rewarded with a full day out of school next week, to compete in the Lancashire finals- where we will represent Fylde.
Conversation starters
Maths- We have been using the hours on a clock to help identify different types of angles. We have now been telling the time in angles and not using the actual time language itself. Teach your parents about our new way to tell the time.
