swimming sensations

Every Thursday morning  untill Thursday 21st October the didcot wave have kindly let year 6's have swimming lessons (although we had to pay!). We had a great time and to add to that the last lesson was a fun session and the wave machine came on! All year 6's have a certificate showing the distance that they swam.

Penpals

This week in year 6 we have been writing to our new Chinese penpals at our Chinese partner school, Dong Hui School in Changsha,China.We have each written our letter to say hello, introduce ourselves and share what our hobbies are. On November 8th this year their headteacher will come to visit our school because  our deputy head went to visit two years ago to set up the partnership.We will be giving an assembly to their head.

Book Week!

This week has been book week.We have been looking at poems as it was national poem day on Thursday. We had a peotry competition and the winners read their poems out in assembly.
The book fair has come to the school with books to swap and buy from the actual book fair.

Chill out zone

After reading the feedback from the questionnaires the school council voted for the most popular answers, they decided on a outside chill out zone as their first priority.

The first idea was a house but here was what was wrong with it :
Queues
Angry people
Too small

The second idea was a tent but as you guessed these are the things that went wrong with it:
Barracades
Not big enough
Not Waterproof

And the last idea was the courtyard but these are the things that are good about it:
Big
Lots of space
Cover
Seating and tables
Quiet
Already made

So we settled on the courtyard .We'll need to buy some outdoor cushions and design some brightly coloured banners.This idea was thought by chair and vice chair after a council meeting.

lego mindstorm (featuring Jeff & Cheryl.)

Last week we made a lego robot called Jeff and the robot Cheryl is being made so far more robots will be made over the next few weeks here's a little clip of Cheryl moving.

One of Jeff's favourite things to do was killing Bernard the crash test lego man.

Cheryl's best friend is WILL.I.AM ( I expect you can see where this is going.)

Jeff enjoys playing with his fav blue ball to play footy and hockey but sadly Jeff is dead
