to Minotaur Class

Mrs Gough, Mrs Dawes and Year Six

Welcome back, Minotaurs and families!

As we return for our final half-term in Y6, we are diving deep into our new topic: Be Happy, Be Healthy!

What  better way to start this topic than a week-long trip to Hagg Farm Outdoor Education Centre! We had an exhilarating, memorable week consisting of abseiling, scavenger hunts, orienteering and bushcraft, problem solving, stream scrambling, rock hopping, night line, Jacob's ladder and ziplining.

Check out the pictures in our Photo Album below :)

Don’t forget: in Y6, all pupils should be reading for pleasure daily. Fifteen minutes before bed is an ideal time. Mrs Dawes is still keeping track of reads recorded in home-school diaries for this term’s reading prizes! Make sure you get your planners signed or it'll be off with your head!
