The week that was..

.. and it was camp! In my opinion, the best camp ever.. for 3 reasons: 1. There were no boring activities.. we had mountain biking and the ladder challenge activity for the 1st time, 2. Cyclone Pam ensured we had excellent surf on Monday and Tuesday which meant body boarding was fabulous and 3. It was really warm.. no need for long trousers or beanies this year!

The only downer that came to the fore on numerous occasions was the inability of the year group as a whole to listen or to quickly quieten down when instructors were speaking. We are all working on this across Year 6.

A HUGE thanks to all of the parents who came and helped + of course, to those parents who could not make it, thanks for ensuring the kids were dropped off and picked up on time and that they all had all the necessary gear.

Here are a few snaps:

Thursday was a tough day as we were all still quite tired. So the children did some camp follow up activities. In Maths, they carried out statistical surveys to find out things like what was the most popular activity at camp, the favourite meal, the average no. of crates achieved on Stack'em. In Writing, they all wrote reports on Camp Merc and in the afternoon they created a piece of art that reminded them of camp.

Friday was Waterwise. Sadly, 4 children did not bring their togs as they forgot it was on - even though I told them before they left on Thursday.. a lack of listening skills - yet again! Please try to remind them next week for our final session. 

Right, this week we have our year 6 planning day on Wednesday, Waterwise on Friday, then next week we are out on Tuesday for Summer sports day and school ends Thursday. In effect, not many full classroom teaching days left! How the time flies.
