Wow! What a wonderful first week of school Diamond Class have had. ☺️🤍
Miss Williams-Day and I have been so impressed with the wonderful independence and resilience all our diamonds have shown this week! We are bursting with pride!!
We already can’t wait to see everyone’s happy smiley faces again on Monday! 💕
Here are some photos of our classroom… it’s our new happy place! 😊
I hope you’ve had an amazing summer! I’ve been super busy playing with the cats; helping with the extension; going on lots of walks; being groomed and spending lots of time with my family!!! 😎
Waiting in the car ready to come to school…
Mum has just cleaned the car out which is making me jump up and down with joy as I know it can only mean one thing: seeing all of you again on Thursday! 😍 I have missed you all soo much and I can not wait to sit down with you and listen to all the exciting things you have been doing (whilst being stroked & cuddled of course!) I am especially excited to meet the new Reception children and make even more friends-WELCOME TO THE SOUND FAMILY! Yey! 🤩
I’m soo happy to be seeing my Sound friends again!
Padme’s Postbox Challenge: This week in my postbox I’d like you to draw a picture or write to me about what makes you smile! 😄 I smile when I see my friends and when you tickle me behind my right ear! Remember to add in lots of details and colour… I can’t wait to get reading!
The day had finally come…. the last day before Y6 moved onto High School! What a day it has been!
First up, the whole school managed to get outside in the glorious sun where we held a whole school presentation ceremony. The leavers received their thesauruses and their memory books and we presented our Sports Personality and Progress Plate.
A HUGE congratulations goes to Callum for Sports Personality and Evie for gaining the plate. We are really proud of them, as we are of them all! 🤩
Next, we managed a socially distanced T-shirt signing session where every class wrote some special words on the children’s shirts whilst enjoying the outdoors. We have never used so many wipes and sanitiser, but it was all worth it and the 6’s will treasure these forever! Will’s even getting his framed!
Finally, all the children in the school had great fun watching the wonderful Leavers’ Assembly. There were lots of laughs and a LOT of tears (in Onyx Class!) We hope all the Year 6 families enjoyed the ham and Peppa Pig as much as we did, & didn’t sob too much at the end?!
Lunchtime fun with a last footie game thrown in! ⚽️
We wish all our Year 6 children the most amazing future: keep smiling, keep being you and go get ‘em!
What a wonderful class you are! Well done on such a fantastic Reception year! You are such a pleasure to teach! We hope you have a brilliant summer holiday, have lots of fun and stay safe!
This morning we held a special assembly to think about how we were all feeling after England’s defeat in the Euros Final. We thought about how the players must be feeling and we talked about how it is OK to feel disappointed when we don’t win or get something we have worked hard for.
We then looked at what an amazing team England have been and what fantastic role models they have been for us all. Teamwork, pride and strength were just some of the words we used to describe them 🤩.
Next, we thought about how we could all learn from the England Team and what attributes the Sound Team can take from them:- determination, trying hard, championing others, supportive, unity, bravery, inclusiveness …. the list was endless!
Even though England lost, we are still all so proud of them and thank them for being such wonderful ambassadors. We can’t wait for the World Cup next year and maybe, just maybe, football will come home! 🏆
We have been really enjoying our socially distanced buddy time over the last few weeks! We have made chalk pictures to show our buddies together which was lots of fun! The Year Six buddies also helped Reception learnt to play boccia during Sports Week too! Today’s buddy time involved learning to pass the football. The Year Six buddies made fantastic coaches!
For our team day challenge, Diamond Class worked in teams to create their very own land art masterpiece inspired by Andy Goldsworthy who specialises in making art made out of natural materials.
Diamond Class collected their own materials and shared them out between the teams so they each had a set of resources to use. They had to plan what they were going to do and work together as a team. We are so proud of how well the children worked together.
Each group tackled the task in different ways and produced lots of different shapes! Some groups made circular shapes, some made rectangular ones and another group made a spiral!
Reception had to be good at working as a team, they had to make sure they communicated effectively and also used their imagination! We were so impressed with their results – well done Diamond Class!
