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.
Year 5 & 6 went to Book Fest in Wimbledon Common to see the author Phil Earle.
He told us that he had written 22 books so far and has been writing for years. We will all be receiving a book of his, which has recently been published and isn’t yet for sale. So, we get it as soon as it is printed, which is very lucky.
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.
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.
Shown in the list below are 11 questions and answers about the Year 6 class teacher, Mrs Leigh.
On Wednesday, the Year 6 class at St. Matthews were lucky enough to be visited by the Mayor of Merton. We asked him some questions and then had a photo!
On Thursday the 11th of November, we had a Greek storytelling competition. At the finals, we experienced a Greek banquet – within this, we held a storytelling competition. The finalists were : Finlay, Sophia, Natalie B and Katrina. We voted with voting stones – the competitors turned their backs and the audience would place a stone next to the competitor that they thought was the best. They competed against each other but there was a tie between Finlay and Natalie B! We voted again and Finlay won, 16 stones to 13 stones. Congrats to him.
