Year 6 Residential - Day One

After a morning spent in their secondary schools, Kingfisher class headed offf on their residentail trip full of energy and excitment. On arrival, we had lunch and settled into our pods. Shortly after lunch, we had our first activity of the trip - Epic Engineering. Here the children had to create the tallest free-standing towers using bamboo canes and velcro ties. After a few initial attempts (not all successful) the teams worked well to create some really tall towers. Even though some didn't look very stable, they did all manage to stay up, with the red team being the winners. After that, the children had to work together to lift a 'bomb' out of a circle using only ropes and a hook. Every team member had to be involved, which proved quite tricky to do at first but the children got there in the end - proving to be quite good at the challenge indeed.

The next challenge was - Egg Drop - where the children had to design a protective case to prevent an egg from breaking after being dropped from a very high tree. There were a wide variety of designs from the different groups and when it came time to drop the eggs, quite a few survived, which surprised many of the children, who doubted if their design would be successful. 

Dinner followed shortly after, Build your own Burger night, which was thoroughly enjoyed, especially the ice-cream for dessert. We then enjoyed some evening activities on the games field before settling down and getting ready for bed. Even though it has been hot, the children have really enjoyed the first day and are looking forward to their first full day tomorrow. 

Year 6 Residential - Day Two

Day two began early for all with with lots to do during the day ahead, the children enjoyed breakfast and got themselves prepared for the day's activities.

We split into two groups for the first of our activities - low ropes challenge and Archery. The low ropes course was a real challenge of teamwork and communication with the children having to work together to successfully make it around the course. On their way around, they had to problem solve some challenges: running a tennis ball along some guttering which the whole team had to hold, transfer water from on side of an obstacle to the other using cups (with holes in them) and locating and transporting the equipment they needed for the final obstacle along their way. The other group headed off ot the archery range and had a go at developing their control and accuracy with the bow. After some practice rounds the children played some games (in teams of 3) where they were challenged to 'Rob the Bank' and 'Build a Pizza' - each game required different types of accuracy, especially the pizza one as the team needed to hit all the different colours of the target to create and 'cook' their pizza, not just aim for the centre. After half the morning, each group swaped over to do the other challenge.

After lunch, the children headed to the other side of camp to have a go at kayaking and building land rafts. Again we spilt into two groups and swapped half way through the afternoon. the land raft challenge required the children to construct a Flintstones-like car using logs and barrels, which had to be tied together securely, so that each team could push 3 riders across the field in. It was a tricky challenge but with a little help from the instructors, the 'rafts' were built and ridden on. While this was going on, the other group were on the water having a go at kayaking. Each team of 6 had to work together to navigate and steer their paired kayaks up and down the canal. This required some teamwork and understanding to ensure the kayak travelled in a straight line or turned correctly when it needed to. After becoming more confident in their kayaks, the instructors played little challenges with the groups, for example asking the teams to catch the instructor's kayak. This wasn't easy as the instructors would move their kayak quite quickly, forcing the children to have to turn theirs around to catch them. They did get there in the end.

With the day's activities finished, we enjoyed tea and then settled in for a movie night before getting ready for bed. With another full day ahead of us, we all needed a good night's rest. 

Easter SATs Revision

As we approach the Easter holidays, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support throughout the year. The children have worked incredibly hard and made excellent progress.

Soon after the Easter break, pupils will be sitting their KS2 SATs. Following all of their effort this year, we want to ensure that they feel confident and retain the key skills they have developed.

To support this, we are encouraging children to complete a short daily practice during the holidays. We recommend spending around 10 minutes each day on reading, mathematics, and grammar, punctuation and spelling. This small but consistent effort will help to keep their knowledge fresh and reinforce their learning.

The children have been provided with booklets for reading, maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling. Answers have been put onto the Kingfisher's webpage below.

We encourage the children to complete as much of the booklet as they can. If they encounter any difficulties, please reassure them that support will be available when they return to school.
