Forest of Dean

On Friday 11th of July Yr6 went to The Forest of Dean to learn more about teamwork and trusting each other.We had had fun but also learnt more getting along with each other.We have made a difference to our relationships with each other

We did a variety of activities on our fun and adventurous trip such as tunnelling ( you go through tunnels underground in the dark and we  had a leader to tell us where to go or what to expect) and rock climbing . This event was the activity that needed the most trust as two people had to hold the rope helping the rock climber get to the top.  We were split into 3 groups and we went to do different activities that we needed to complete. There was Mr Ross's group, Mr Abraham's group and lastly Miss Codling's group.

On our trip we did The Leap of Faith , Rock climbing , Problem solving and tunnelling. Fortunately, everyone conquered their fears and completed the tasks. At 8:45, we left school and went on a 1hour trip on a coach. Miss Codling let us eat sweets but she made us give her a packet to share with the teachers. We spent some of our time on the coach laughing and sleeping. Next,when we arrived we met Dominic and he told us what three activities we were doing. We were all excited so we started talking to each other loudly about what activity they wanted to do- Leap of faith obviously.  Miss Codling's group did the rock climbing and The leap of Faith first. Mr Ross's group did the tunnelling first and Mr Abraham's group did the problem solving and did the Rock climbing and The Leap of Faith last. After our trip ended we arrived at school at 16:15 and we were exhausted. Everyone enjoyed their day and are looking forward to going on other exciting trips.

Year six spend today's maths session investigating tubes of Smarties.  We covered several areas of maths including: data handling, fractions and averages.  Of the course the best part of the lesson was eating the data!
