Dear Y6 children,

A very quick message just to let you know that the literacy homework deadline has been extended to Wednesday to give you a bit more time as some of you will probably need the weekend to recover! If you have already completed it, then brilliant! You are one step ahead! :)

Take care and see you in the right coloured t-shirt on Monday!

Days 2 and 3 at Kingswood

You will be happy to know that it was an effort to wake the children this morning as they had been actively challenged to their limits yesterday by a variety of activities.
These included: orienteering, solving crime mysteries, indoor climbing, crate stacking and zip wires etc.
We have been incredibly lucky so far with the weather, sun cream and hats rather than umbrellas and waterproofs being the order of the day.

We have seen a different side to some children when we enter the dining room- boy, can some children eat a lot!

Below are, again, some pictures to show what they have been involved in.

Day 1 at Kingswood

Hello to all the year 6 parents,

The children are having a ball here at Kingswood- the weather is sunny, the activities are providing full on entertainment and the adults are keeping up, just.

Have a look at the pictures below to see how much your children are enjoying their new experiences and we’ll upload some more in a few days.

Photos

Dear Parents,

Year 6 is in the process of preparing the Powerpoint for the Leavers Concert. We asked the children a few weeks ago to gather photos of them throughout their time at Crabtree, including all class photos. We have had a very small response. Would it be possible for you to rummage through your archived pictures and bring those to the school? I currently only have a couple of class photos (Year 4 and Reception) from Elm and we would really appreciate having all of the class photos.

If you do find some whilst we are away in Kent, could you bring them to school (if you are passing by or taking a sibling) and give those to Mrs Coxon.

We will aim to update the blog regularly this week but should we not update it, please do not worry. The school should be in touch via text or email anyway.

See you later!

The Year 6 Team.

Kingswood

Dear parents and Year 6 children,

We are pleased to be able to annouce the activities which the children will take part in next week. Please note that full details of these will be given to the children on a daily basis:

- Quad biking
- Aerial Runway
- Team challenge
- CSI Kingswood
- Crate Stacking
- Archery
- Nightline
- 3G swing
- Indoor climbing
- Mission maker
- Abseiling
- Jungle Vines
- Orienteering
- Swimming
- Leap of faith

The children have been told that they will have the time and content of activities explained to them in the mornings of each day.

We cannot guarantee what time of which day each child will be doing the activities. However, over the course of the week, there will be plenty of opportunities for the children to take part in a wide variety of activities.

As you can see, we now know that the children will definitely need a swimming costume and an additional towel. Nightline can also be very muddy (depending on weather) so please make sure your child has a bin bag and an addition change of clothes preferably old ones. As said in the meeting, please ensure your children have long sleeves and long trousers as most activities require this. Please don't forget to pack sun cream and a sun hat as well as rain wear and a re-usable water bottle.

Please rest assured, for those children who have specific medical and dietary needs, the centre has been contacted and informed of these.

We aim to update the blog regularly whilst away. However, this will be largely dependent on computer and wi-fi access. There will be regular communication from the school office about how things are going anyway.

All children need to be in school with a pack lunch by 11.15 am. Both class teachers will be in school at normal time if you need to drop your child any earlier. We are sure we can find plenty for them to do! :)
