‘Working Together for Excellence’
Year 6
Good afternoon,
Every year, the year 6s take on the challenge of making £5 grow as part of a money making scheme to help raising money for their leavers' celebration. This year, as things are slightly different, we have had an extra challenge! So, we have come up with a variety of sales, competitions and sponsorship opportunities that can all be done safely and within the government guidelines.
Today, an order form has been given to each bubble (attached) to let the children know what is on offer over the next few weeks and will allow you and the children to order the items through their teacher. To order, we will have: personalised bracelets, loom bands, necklaces, goody bags and sweet bags, ranging from 60p-£1. We will also have a name the teddy competition (teddy as prize), how many sweets in the jar competition (jar of sweets as prize) and a raffle! These sales begin on Monday 6th July and will be ending on Friday 17th. Please make sure all of your orders are in by then so we can get your order to you after it has been disinfected.
As you will see on the attached form, we will also have slushies, ice lollies and cupcakes to sell on certain days. These will be available to order on the sale days listed on the order form and then brought to your child's bubble at the end of that day. We would appreciate it if your child has the correct money on that day to make the sale safe and fast.
We would really appreciate it if you contribute to our fundraising so that the year 6s can celebrate their time at Weyford! There are some beautiful handmade things on offer that I am sure you will love. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask your teacher or email me and I will be happy to answer any questions you have. Information is also on the website on the Year 6 page and is also available in the office.

On Wednesday 26th February, Year 6 enjoyed their learning about the Ancient Maya during their topic morning. They learned how to write using the Mayan alphabet; solved problems using the Maya numbering system; made some traditional crafts using weaving and played a version of the ball games 'pitz' and 'pok a tok'

Well done guys!
On Friday 8th November, Year 6 had their topic morning on the Ancient Egyptians. We watched a fantastic play by Hobgoblin Theatre called 'The curse of the Mummy", learning lots of new things about the Egyptians. We then took part in some drama and acting workshops to improve our acting skills.s
