Year 6 had great fun at the rounders competition. We had 2 teams competing and came second and third places – well done to all our super sporty Westies!
This week Class 13 have enjoyed making up their own dance routines in groups. Some amazing moves and choreography going on!
Year 6 had a fantastic couple of days with Outward Bound! We took part in the following activities:
- team building games – such as Fishy Fishy Fishy and Capture the Flag
- Team challenges
- Map drawing of the school
- Orienteering course around the school
- OS map walk in the local area
- Shelter building
- Peer leadership challenges
- Campfire – roasting marshmallows and camp sing-a-long
During our adventure days we improved our team building skills, increased our resilience and determination, boosted our confidence and self-belief, improved our understanding and dealing with challenge and risk and learned new life skills.
A terrific time was had by all!
Every day, to set Year 6 up for our afternoon lessons, we take to the field and enjoy a Daily Mile. We run at our own paces, to keep our bodies and minds healthy. During recent runs, we have discussed our circulatory system and what happens scientifically to our bodies when we exercise; this is linked to our current science topic, ‘Why is the heart the most important pump we own’ . We discussed the positive impact of exercise and what else we could do to improve our overall fitness. Alex G is the current leader, running our track in a speedy 5 minutes 50 seconds. Well done!
