Connecting school and home
Recently, Year 6 and Year 5 have been working hard to learn lines and staging this years production ready to perform infront of the parents on the 29th and 30th June. We’ve all been working hard and it was a great success.
Here are some photos of Joseph backstage!
Recently, Year 6 have been studying Climate Change and have noticed how major the cause is. We all wrote letters to Boris Johnson which we carefully edited and sent to him. We recently received a reply and we were all really excited.
Yes, Year 6 have gone to France!!! Leaving at 4:30 in the morning on Monday, Year 6 departed for France. We couldn’t contain our excitement travelling to the ferry port for a 5 and a half hour journey. On the ferry ride, everyone started exploring around the entertainment-packed ship. Some of us stayed in the lounge to play cards. Once we were there, we took a two and a half hour drive to la Grand Ferme – where we were staying. We participated in a range of activities including: archery, canoeing, shopping in the market, aeroball and even orienteering around Avranches following French instructions. Reluctantly, we made the long journey back, knowing that we’d made made memories for a lifetime.
To go alongside Year 6’s science topic of the circulatory system, they experimented what happened inside of the heart, each of us acting out the different parts of the heart.
On Friday 22nd, we held an intense debating competition finals. From logical questions to deep research, we were all on the edge of our chair when the results were out. There was Game 1 to decide 3rd place and 4th place and a just as intense battle for 1st and second place.
But there can only be one winner…
In 1st place: Attenborough!!!
Recently, Year 5 experimented in the KS2 playground. Luckily for them, the sun showed its face.
Recently we started Reception Reading with a new set of fabulous readers and receptions. They had a great first session of cuteness and reading!
A group of Year 6 went to the Netball Tournament which was Raynes Park Cluster – they tried their hardest in every match. There were challenging moments and at one point they scored a whopping 5-0 win. They played local schools in the heats coming second in their heat, sending them through to the borough finals.
A big well done to them all from us!
In St. Matthews, classes take turns to run class worships and since it’s been such a long time since we had a Class Worship, we thought that we should start off with Year 6. It was all about loving your yourself and that love has no age, race, gender, religion or background, and that it should be an action.
