Year 6 and Year R children have begun their buddy sessions during the last few weeks. The children will meet up with their buddy once a week for the rest of the year to complete a variety of tasks.
It's a great experience for our Year R children and helps remind our Year 6 children of where they once were and their responsibilities as a role model for others. The Year 6s already look forward to their sessions with their buddies each week.
Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed dressing up as their favourite book characters and guessing who each other was.
The children took part in various activities including a visit from their "Buddy Class" in Year 3 and 4.

Having said goodbye to the school in their Y6 Leavers' Service this morning the Y6 and Y R children said goodbye to each other for the last time this afternoon.
Yr R had made cookies and Y6 had made cards which they presented to each other in what was their last buddy session this year. The Y6 children also used the last of the money they have raised this year for their leavers events to buy ice cream/lollies for everyone.
I know that the Y6 children have really enjoyed spending time with their Buddies this year and it has taught them a lot about getting on and sharing with others and how to treat and respect others.
Although it's English, Maths, Maths, English in Year 6 in the build up to their KS2 SATs test the children have still found time to visit their Reception class buddies to help them with their reading.
Year 6 really look forward to their visits and are already looking forward to next week's visit.
