One of the MANY perks of being in Year 6 are the early morning booster sessions that currently take place every Tuesday and Thursday. Children get an opportunity to have some extra support in reading and maths, and buttery toast with hot chocolate helps get the grey matter working. Such a nice way to start the day!

Our three Sewing Clubs are as popular as ever and sewing fever continues to sweep the school. We are extremely grateful to Mrs Plume and Michele who plan and deliver the after school clubs which are so popular now they have had to extend to three different evenings. It’s great to see what the children are designing and creating.

Year 6 Gandalf are all about the emojis this term. They use emojis to express how they feel about their learning and they each designed their own personal emoji to say something about their personality. Such a modern world!

Year 6 are having the most fantastic school journey week at PGL Liddington. They have enjoyed day trips out to the Museum of the Great Western Railway and the Cotswolds Animal Park. On site they are having a ball with all the activities – fencing, climbing, giant swing and all the usual PGL fun. The kids have all been amazing and everyone is throwing themselves into the week. Tonight is the big one – disco time!! And tomorrow they will be back home in their beds, full of stories and memories. A huge thank you to all the staff who give up their lives for the week to give the children such an amazing experience. (Now brace yourselves for more than 500 photos!)
