Secondary School Transition Days

Eagles and Owls have flown back to school with exciting stories and happy memories from their recent secondary school transition days. From code-breaking and experiments with bunsen burners in Science to football training in PE, students have had a really positive taster of learning in specialist resourced classes and they have risen to the challenges admirably. It's also great to hear they have met some really good teachers and started making new friends too. With such positive attitudes, we hope to finish the term together on a real high.

Cycling Success!

Congratulations to all the students in Year 6 who completed Bikeability - nearly 100% of our cohort took part and the agency delivering the course were full of praise for the ready, respectful and safe approach from everyone. We have also delivered the Warwickshire Road Safety materials designed to support children at Bridgetown prepare for their journeys to their new secondary schools, remembering the importance of impulse control and the strategies to plan, prepare and act sensibly en route.

ALL EYES ON MISSION IMPLAUSIBLE!

We are really excited to have started rehearsing the Year 6 production this week: Mission Implausible (published and licensed by The School Musical Musicals Company –
www.theschoolmusicalscompany.com). Please support children at home to learn lines and practise the songs ready for a run through of Act One next week!

Eagles and Owls have certainly been busy bees this half term! Following swiftly on from SATs, the children demonstrated excellent teamwork in preparing a lively and entertaining assembly for parents recounting their residential trip to Arete. This was delivered to a full audience, showcasing public speaking, performance and music. Everyone deserves a well-earned half term rest! See you all refreshed and ready for another packed half term in June.

Summer Term 14/05/26

Congratulations to all our proud Eagles and Owls! SATS week has gone smoothly and it has been fantastic to see the excellent attitude from each and every child in these exams. We have celebrated with treats laid on by our brilliant FOBS team and school Governors.

We have also been impressed and inspired by the talents and teamwork on display in other activities this week, including sports and art. This breadth of study gives every child the opportunity to shine and we appreciate the energy and enthusiasm shown by one and all.

The summer seems to be flying by!

Last week, our Y6 children spent the week doing our mock SATs - we are so proud of each and every single on of them for how they rose to this challenge. This week, we are still busy preparing for SATs next week - starting off with our GPS and Spelling paper on Monday.

Despite all our SATs preparation, we still found the time to celebrate David Attenborough's 100th birthday! 

Summer term 21/04/26

Arete seems a distant memory for year 6 already as we prepare ourselves for our next big event - our SATs! With mock week just around the corner and the real thing starting on the 8th May!

However, we are still finding time to remember the fabulous time we had in Arete - check out our persuasive leaflets - written with very fond memories!

We have also launched our new Dimensions topic - War of the Worlds, thinking in PHSE how 'not to be a sheep' and follow the crowd. 

Finally, we have welcomed Mrs Bradley as Eagles class teacher! 

06/03/26

An action-packed few weeks again in Year 6 including World Book day this week. We were so proud of the effort the children put into the day; from a red door creative writing competition to imaginative and creative door decorations it was an excellent way to celebrate our love of books! We even found time to spend time in the garden with the Year 4 Chaffinches sharing our favourite books.

29/02/26

Another action packed couple of weeks in Year 6! Our 'flash mob' style dance is coming along and we are excited to be having a lesson taught by our very own Miss Sutor next week, who is a qualified dance teacher!In Dimensions 'I have a dream...' topic we have been focusing on challenging stereotyping and discrimination and looking at differences and similarities.

We have now come to the end of our Algebra unit in mathematics and we are so proud of how well the children have adapted to this, showing real enthusiasm, resilience and collaboration on tackling any formula or equation! Top marks, Year 6! 

Reminder- Please wear PE kits to school next Thursday, 5th February.

13/01/26

We have had such a positive start to the term! Our new Dimensions curriculum is in full swing and we have been learning about diversity in PHSE as well as creating Community Charters. We then tasked each community with travelling across the room using on three sheets of A3 paper, no one could touch the carpet. 'It's like the floor is lava!' was one response! The groups then spent time thinking about how well they kept to their charters, as well as what they now realised was important to include - communication came out top of their lists! We have also been developing a 'Flash mob' style dance in PE. 

A very Happy New Year to all our Year 6 children and families!

This term sees the exciting launch of our new Dimensions Curriculum 'Learning means the World!': each unit will focus around 4 key themes - Communication, Culture, Conflict and Conservation.These lessons will encompass our Geography, History, Music, Computing, D & T, Science and Art curriculum.

Our first unit is a history focused one 'I have a dream...' for more information please see the WHISK (What I Should Know) sheet on our webpage.
