WK 5 - Set
Another busy and exciting week has passed in Year 6. It was a pleasure
meeting and catching-up with all parents this week. It was a pleasure
celebrating the achievements and goals of the brilliant children in our class
and I am genuinely confident that they are ready to take on their next
challenges in September and beyond.
Half
Term Project – My Hero
For our final
half-term project, I would like the children to think about their real-life
superhero. This could be a relative, a friend, a neighbour or celebrity/ famous
person who has genuinely inspired them. The children will be asked to create a
brief fact-file about this person (when
and where they were born, achievements, interesting facts and reasons why they
are their heroes). We are going to be encouraging the children to interview (if
possible) their real-life heroes in class so prepare yourself for an interview!
*Please note that we
have explained to the children that their heroes cannot be fictional
characters.
Return Deadline for
this project will be the final week of the term.
Production
As we continue to
perfect our Year 6 production, please ask your children about their costumes,
props or resources that they may need. Also, please encourage the children to rehearse
their lines and perform them at home to help build their expression, volume and
confidence. The performance to parents and adults will be on Monday 20th
July 2026 at 18:00.
The Apprentice
The year 6 will be
developing their entrepreneurial skills this half-term as they look to build a
successful business. The children are familiar with the rules of the project
but please ask them questions about how they are going to be profitable, efficient
and professional throughout – perhaps by discussing their business plans with
them and encouraging them to think BIG. Remember not to donate anything more
than your support to their businesses otherwise you’ll be FIRED! Money will be
distributed to the selected individuals within each group next week but if the
children and adults are comfortable doing so, resources for their projects can
be ordered beforehand.
