As a reward, Year 6 were visited by the staff at Morley Exotic Animal Rescue, who brought along with them a variety of animals, from snakes and lizards to meerkats and monkeys. The children learnt all about each animal and were even given the chance to handle some of them!

Year 6 had another great day with an opportunity to look around the school where they were staying in Buitrago. After playing out with the Spanish children they were taken on a tour of the walled town and even got the chance to look around the Picasso Museum. Picasso's friend and barber came from Buitrago and when he died he left the painting letters and personal possessions that Picasso had given him to the town.

The children had an exciting day visiting the Bernabeu stadium where they could follow the history and success of the Real Madrid football team. The tour ended with an opportunity to pose in the press room! After a picnic lunch everyone went on a walking tour of the city centre. The children were shown famous buildings including the palace and the elaborate food market along with some interesting statues, point zero and they even had the chance of doing some shopping in the Playa de Mayor.

After a good sleep and a lovely Spanish breakfast the children set off to visit GSD Las Suertes to take part in the chess tournament. The school was very big with 2,200 children aged from 4months to 19 years. Our children played chess with the school chess club and at the end of the day long tournament the children were presented with medals for their success. Next they travelled to the near by Rivas sports centre and took part in a second tournament with the Rivas chess club. After this great tournament all the children received a trophy and enjoyed a picnic tea the Spanish children.

The sun was shining as we made our way to the nature reserve. The children had a fantastic day bird spotting, pond dipping and learning all about bees! What a lovely day!

All the Year 6 children were invited to have breakfast together this week. It was a lovely start to each day. We all shared our thoughts and had a good laugh before we went back to class to sit our SAT papers. We had lots of visits from the teachers and Mr Carney even had his breakfast with us.

The children in Year 6 were lucky enough to be visited by a member of the Warburtons team. She gave us lots of information on the history of the brand. Every child also got to knead some dough and shape their very own piece of bread. Everyone had a great time both making and eating their bread roll.

Hill Group had a fantastic time at RobinWood! The children showed amazing team work, taking part in the 'Piranha Pool Challenge', trapeze, climbing wall, bouldering and so much more! The children overcame so many fears and each day, building up so much resilience and solidifying some great friendships. Every child has so much to feel proud about! Amazing attitude and team spirit all round!

Wood Group had an amazing time at Robinwood, with every child pushing themselves to the limit and overcoming their fears. We enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors on the Alien Conspiracy challenge and high up on the rocks, where we crawled through even the smallest of boulders. Trapeze, Caving, Climbing and the Piranha Pool left us in our stretch zone but luckily, nobody reached panic mode. All children worked well, guiding each other through the activities and developed well as part of a team. What a fantastic trip away!

Here is a copy of our Class Six Mission Statement.
