Year 6 26-27

This week, our Year 5 sweepstake teams were revealed! From the picture, you can clearly see that some children were absolutely thrilled with their picks, while others were not quite so pleased and immediately began pleading for team swaps. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option!

To keep everything fair, I used my trusty randomiser to allocate the teams. In fact, to my own detriment, I was left picking last!

The tournament is well underway. I’ve reminded the children that they can always catch up with the highlights, although some of our most dedicated fans are already trying to stay up for a few of the later matches. We can’t wait to see whose team goes all the way!

We had another fab music lesson today. Trombones are more difficult than they look! We are working really hard and getting so much better.

Yesterday, Year 5 visited Harper Green High School as part of Farnworth Matters. During the visit, the children had the opportunity to listen to an engaging guest speaker who shared valuable insights into a wide range of careers. He spoke in detail about his own career in the police force, where he has served for over 20 years in a variety of roles.

The talk also highlighted the importance of key personal traits such as bravery, discipline, and determination, explaining how these qualities have supported him throughout his career.

In addition, he shared his passion outside of work as a Ju Jitsu instructor, showing the children how interests and hobbies can play an important role alongside a professional career.

Good morning! The children slept really well last night and are currently enjoying their final breakfast before heading out to complete the last activities. They have had an amazing time and are looking forward to coming home and telling you all about it. See you this afternoon!

The children have had another amazing day in the sunshine, and have pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones on all of the activities. They are now enjoying some team games before bed. There are some sleepy faces (not just the teachers), but everyone is happy and looking forward to the final activities (and home) tomorrow. Goodnight from Robinwood.
