Elm class - Year 6

Year 6 got to look at real antiques from WW2 this week!

We had a lovely visitor in class today! What an exciting start to our english unit!

Fantastic working together to build a den with wind shield.

Challenged to build a waterproof shelter using one rope and tarpaulin. Great team work.

Sawing logs for the firepit.

Wow what a busy week we have had in year 6! It has been so lovely welcoming all our year 6's back into school and watching them step up to the challenge of being in Elm Class. We have had lots of fun this week and I am already impressed with how hard they have been working!

I remember when everyone was so excited to have cooked apples with cinnamon and sugar. (Tilly)

I remember when we were den building and then me and Willow slipped in very wet mud. It had rained that day - we couldn't stop laughing! (Lexie)

I remember when I was in Pre-School, I got…

Great waterproof shelter to sit and chat in.

Year 6 had a fantastic residential at Lockerbie Manor in September. They did a range of outdoor activities including archery, zip wire, canoeing, kayaking, climbing wall and various team challenges. All the pupils overcame some personal challenges as well as having a lot of fun!

Our Year 6 pupils hosted a McMillan Coffee Morning. We invited parents and members of the community and then they were rewarded for their hard work with a cup of tea and a cake.

Jan from Knit and Natter has been coming into school each week to teach groups of Year 6 to knit. They are making squares which will be sewn together to make pet blankets for the RSPCA. 

This week, Year 6 pupils spent a morning at A&G Precision washing cars to raise funds for their end of year trips. They washed a lot of cars and raised £225. Thanks to A&G for providing a well-earned lunch.
