Transfer Day-New Year 3

A.M

Y6 on Transfer Day

The new Y6 classes had a bubblrilliant time as they met their new Y6 teachers and classmates on Wednesday.
The day was all about having fun, and working together.

The children began the day by practicing lying (not normally encouraged!) in a class game of 'Would I Lie to to you?'.They then explored the world of bubbles large and small before working together to solve our Y6 team challenges.

All the children had a great day and are looking forward to their first 'Real' day in Y6 in September.

New Year 6... Are you sure?

So you're about to move into your final year at primary school. What do you expect from your time in Y6? Hard work? Sets? SATs? More SPaG than you can shake a stick at?

Well, our new Y6 certainly weren't expecting to spend the morning playing with bubbles! But it is amazing what you can create with some bubble mix and just a little bit of time.



After lunch the children started work in their new classes, problem solving and working together to solve a range of wet and weird challenges. Hopefully they all enjoyed their day in their new classes and are looking forward September.

New Year 3-Worries and Superheroes!

What a FANTASTIC first day for the new Year 3 children! Not only did they impress their new teachers with how BRILLIANT they were, they also produced some terrific artwork. This work was done to reflect the discussions and stories they heard today, to help them think about changes and expectations in Year 3.

Firstly, we thought about any worries we might have about our new class and we shared a short film and story. We then made worry dolls to share our worries with-inspired by our story 'Silly Billy' by Anthony Browne. Later, in the afternoon, we thought about what it means to be a superhero and how we could be superheroes in Year 3. We drew pictures of our-self as superheroes. Take a look:-

Stepping up to Y6

During transfer day the new Y6 children got to experience life in their new classrooms and spend time in their new classes.

There were lots of questions about the big issues of Y6. Knapp House, English and Maths Sets and of course SATs were all hot topics. After question time children were set the task of finishing a landscape picture by sketching (half of it had been removed and given to someone else).

After lunch each class tackled a range of team building challenges, which had been designed to test their problem solving, communication, and personal skills. All the classes managed to complete the activities successfully, but there were some groups in particular who did very well.

They will certainly need their skills when they come back to school in September as fully fledged Y6 pupils.
