The teams played a series of matches, with goals aplenty from all sides. Y6 showed excellent sportsmanship by cheering on their team members and showing respect to the umpire Jo. It was a close competition and as the games progressed the teams who were able to work together to achieve won out in the end! After an hour of playing in the intense late June sunshine, the winners (Jervaux) were crowned: winning all three of their matches and scoring 9 goals against their opponents. Rievaulx house came a close second, winning two out of three of their matches (scoring a valiant 6 goals). yet losing in their final game facing the victorious Jervaux. A wonderful way to end a successful and fun-filled four weeks of hockey – well done Y6.
HSBC Finance Lessons
Over the past three weeks, we have been lucky enough to have Alice from HSBC in school teaching us all about ‘Money Matters’. We have had sessions on Fraud, being Super Savers and understanding how we would get paid in the future. The children thoroughly enjoyed finding out more about how we can save up for what we really want, instead of being payday millionaires!
Science Week
During Science week, Year 6 children created Water Clocks. This ancient method of recording time showed us the importance of accurate and repeat measurements. We investigated their origin and how methods of keeping time have changed over the years.
Northallerton Library
The Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Northallerton Library. They were told about the Dewey Decimal System for categorising books and were shown around the different areas of the library.
The children signed up for library cards and were introduced to the ‘Young Adult’ book section, containing lots of interesting books, comics, magazines and graphic novels.
Please can parents ensure that any books borrowed from the library are returned before any charges are added to your account.
World Children’s Mental Health Day
We celebrated World Children’s Mental Health Day with a range of activities that encouraged us to consider our thoughts and feelings. We thought carefully about how we could display the idea ‘My Voice Matters’ whilst sharing with our peers allow the things that we have in our heads. The bunting shows how we are all connected to one another, whilst the hands explain the positive feelings we want to hold on to, and the negative emotions we wish we could discard.
