At the end of our last full week of P6 we thought we’d share some memories and achievements from P6B:

“This year we managed to achieve our John Muir Award, which took a lot of hard work in our woodland area.” Becki

“We’ve done lots of fun events with our buddies, like helping them settle into our school and showing them our work in the woodland.” Rosie

“During sports day we had lots of fun competing for points for our houses.” Isla

” My favourite memory from P6 was during maths when Mr Flood was across the room and pointed the pen at the board and the pen flew across the room and we all laughed. His face was so shocked it made us all laugh.” Charlotte

“I really enjoyed reading How I Saved the World in a week.” Cameron

“I really enjoyed playing capture the flag in P.E.” Kaitlyn

“I really enjoyed learning to become playzone leaders. We learnt how to help younger children play games, Tony from Active schools helped us.” Olivia

“Mr Flood was demonstrating in P.E, he threw a ball and said don’t take your eyes off it. But he looked away and it fell.” Emily

“We took our buddies on the colour run. There were different stations with different colours of chalk and they would spray us and throw powder at us.” Jenny

“In the woodland all of us decided to build a cafe called the woodland cafe. Rosie was the chef, Olivia was a critic, Emily was a manager, there were a few waiters. There was a stage and Alfie and Mac did comedy on the stage.” Ella

“For world book day we did lots of activities about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We made chocolate in class.” Aisha

“We were doing gymnastics in P.E we were all amazed when Mr Flood managed a forward roll and a tuck jump.” Ryan

“I’ve enjoyed playing football and learning to code on Scratch.” Zakir

“One time at the woodland and we had just learned about the Battle of Culloden we had a mini battle. We made clans and bases and made allies but people turned on each other.” Charlotte

Here’s some photos from the year:

“On Friday, we had our celebration assembly. We walked over to Eastwood as our hall isn’t big enough. We sung some songs, listened to some P7’s experiences at Crookfur and watched the awards ceremony.” Charlotte

“In Writing we were writing one page creative stories. They could be about anything we liked, but they couldn’t be longer than one page. It was very difficult to fit a whole story in that space.” Rosie

“We’ve learnt lots about puberty and growing up this week.” Becki

“We learnt about Cubism is art with Mrs Lamont. We drew a simple picture and then we drew lots of lines to make different shapes and then we coloured it in different colours.” Amina

“In Maths, we were drawing angles using a protractor. We someone drew an angle and then you had to figure out what angles it was.” Kaitlyn

“In Writing, we were writing acrostic poems. Since it was the Jubilee we were writing about the Queen. We watched a video to get some ideas about the Queen and then we had 2 minutes to think of any words about the Jubilee we could use in our writing. Then we got on to our writing, we wrote one of these acrostic poems- The Queen, The Queen’s Jubilee or The Platinum Jubilee. At the end we listened to some of our classmates poems.” Charlotte

“We did some computer coding. We were using a website called Scratch, we created a game where you had to jump obstacles. In the game you chose a character and an obstacle from the Scratch library. We programmed the space bar to make us jump.” Ryan

“We learnt to find finishing times. We had to work out what times different films finished. We used a number line to help.” Zakir

“We did a colour run. Everyone got paint powder thrown at them and water balloons. We ran round the school with our P1 buddies. It was great fun.” Aisha and Ava

“The whole school went to the assembly hall to watch the finals of Crookfur’s Got Talent. Then we had to vote for which one we wanted to win.” Myra

“In Maths, we were planning a dream trip to London. We picked accommodation, train rides and places we wanted to eat. We used train timetables, to know when the train would leave and arrive, and we used the internet to plan other things.” Habiba

“In P.E we did jumping a throwing. We used shot puts and discusses and we practised long jump and triple jump.” Edward

“In the Woodland we made a bug hotel. To make it we stacked pallets, and put paper cups inside full of sticks, grass and soil. Then we filled the pallets with the cups and then we filled in all the gaps with sticks, stones, grass and flowers.” Harris
