Year 6 - Summer 2 - Week 5

Date: 8th Jul 2022 @ 1:25pm

Can you believe this was our penultimate week at Trinity St. Peter’s?!

We are now feeling confident during our leavers’ rehearsals. Well done to all the children, who have worked incredibly hard to learn their lines, songs and stage directions…all while trying to keep the production a secret from other year groups, teachers and parents! A few lucky members of staff have been able to have a sneak peak at the show and have all been amazed! This has included Mrs Whitehead from Formby High School, who thought the children perform amazingly well! Hopefully all parents have received their 3 tickets for the show and have received the messages on School Spider regarding details for Tuesday. We are very excited for you all to watch it now!

On Wednesday, we were able to have our final ‘Sports Day’ at Trinity St. Peter’s. We wanted to have a strong emphasis on our value of ‘Enjoy’ and not take it too seriously. We agreed that if we were losing, we would ‘lose in style’ – just as long as it didn’t affect anybody else in the race who may still be trying to win. There was a great atmosphere throughout and we all had a great time taking part in the different races. Perhaps the highlight was our impromptu, parents’ three-legged race. Lots of laughter…and lots of competitive parents! We were very impressed with those children who managed to complete the lap with neither of their feet ever setting foot on the grass!

In PE we took part in our first netball session; we learned the rules of the game, how to pass effectively and even managed to play a couple of matches. There may have been a hidden agenda for this lesson though as on Friday, our girls’ netball team took part in a special tournament after school…involving both a teachers’ team and a parents’ team! Needless to say, it was very competitive, but also great fun! Thank you to all who got involved, including those children who came to cheer on all the participants.

This week the children enjoyed a visit from Sarah from Formby library who informed the children about this year's summer reading challenge. They were all very excited! We hope they will be able to enjoy the reading challenge and celebrate this with us when they return to school in September.

Next week, we will be continuing to rehearse for our leavers’ performance, as well as the Leavers’ Service on Friday. On Tuesday morning, we will also be walking to Formby High School to take part in their traditional ‘Maths Maze’ against other local primary schools…wish us luck!

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend and enjoy reading your EOY reports and SATs results - we are extremely proud of you all! Please remember to buy some extra tissues in preparation for next week!
