Book day! 6JW's review by Charlotte and Hazel

Ths is our Book Day Review.




On Book Day we all got up early to get dressed into our fantastic costumes! When we arrived at school we got ready for our parade around the fiield. We all loved Mr McGarry's costume, it was amazing but unexpected! Then we came back into the classroom and introduced our characters, so we could write about them in our stories. Next we had breaktime. Then we continued our stories until Mr Watson arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone gave a big cheer. Then we walked over to assembly where Mr Whitehead read out the whole school book. It had many twists and turns in it as well as loads of magic! Then after lunch we went down to FS2 to have a picnic and read them stories. We can all agree that the FS2's are so so so cute! Then it was hometime and was the end of a brilliant day.



We really enjoyed Book Day!

Becky's Book day

Book Day

Book day was on Thursday the 22nd April. I dressed up as Camacazi from the book 'How to Train your Dragon' by Cressida Cowell (or Astrid from the new film). I chose to be her because I love that series of books and she looks a bit like me. Everyone in my class had amazing costumes like Bellatrix L'strange from Harry Potter, Cat Woman, The Grand High Witch, robbers and loads more! Costumes I thought stood out were Hazel as Cruella De Vil and Daniel as Superwoman because you could tell they put lots of effort into creating the costumes! I enjoyed the activities on book day like the picnic with FS2 and the creative writing. For the picnic I had a small girl called Shantilly and at first she was really quiet and shy but then she went really crazy and funny! I also really enjoyed the disco and had loads of fun! Overall I loved book week and book day (except for the tests)!!

Felix's Easter Holiday

When I got of the plane and got through the airport security I was so excited, I was going back to my old house in England. Me and my family took a taxi to my house and me and my brother jumped out and ran to the front door. My dad came up and let us in with his keys and we went straight into the garden to play.




The thing I liked best about my holiday was going to the Portsmouth dock and going aboard the HMS Victory one of the most famous warships in the world. Inside the Victory it was wide and the ceiling was quite high up my dads head was touching it though. when we got down to the lower decks it was just high enough so I wouldn't bang my head, however my dad hit his head several times and had to go out. we got to see how a cannon works and all the rooms on the ship including the captains quarters.



I also visited my best friend Felix over the holidays and had a brilliant time with him. My Grandma and Grandad came round and stayed for 2 nights.



Then a few nights before we were coming back to Dubai my dad fell down the stairs and sprained his ankle and we had to go to A&E the next morning. We then picked him up a few hours after that and took him home.



The next day I got some news from dad he said that due to the cause of the volcano in Iceland that had erupted we couldn't go home until next Saturday!



And here I am now stuck in England but now the flights have been opened I shall be back in Dubai on Saturday because the ash from the volcano damages planes engines.

Dylan's rugby tour

On wedensday night me and my dad headed off to the airport where we met half of our team ( the others were flying indivuidually ) and we boarded the plane. We received merchindise of our team called the dubai exiles. We received a coat, a hoodie, a polo shirt, a jumper and a bag to put it all in. WHen we arrived in england it was early morning so for the rest of the day we took it easy. On Friday we went off to do paintballing with our team. Kids versous dads. The dads did win and yes we got thrashed but we put a good fight against them. My Dad got shot in the butt, the knee, and on the neck twice. I got shot twice in the knee, in the arm and on the eye protecter mask so then i couldnt see. After that was our practice match. We got warmed up and played a team called the bedford blues, which is one of the better teams in torquay. We ended up winning 3-0.


The next day was our tornamount day. Me and my dad went to get some new rugby boots, before i had football ones and we went off to the rugby club. Our first match was against a team called monmourth and we beat them 9-1. These were 10 minute halves and i didnt come off once. Then the next game was against a team called sidcup.we lost 1-0 after a mistake from the referee. our next game was against a team i don not know the name off but we still beat them 7-1.

That was the end of our first day of the tornamount. We went to get some fish and chips then the next day we went back to the same place and had our next match. This was an important match because whoever won went in to the semis. We won 1-0. the next match was a semi final against topsham. The best team in the league and in the whole of Devon. We played and lost 3-1 but the ref was a bad one and made the wrong choices. we had one game which was against sidcup again to see who came 3rd and 4th. We drawed 1-1.

Now we got a holiday we never expected because of the volcanic ash. me and my dad went into windsor to meet my auntie and uncle and we wandered around the streets and met them for dinner. The next day we wnet to london. We went on a big bus tour and saw loads of things like the big ben, houses of parliment, st pauls cathedral, london eye, buckingham palace and the great tower of london. We stopped at the london dungeans and we went in. It was quite spooky because things jumped out at you. It went pitch black alot aswell. There was also a ride where you sat in seats and you went up and up untill u saw ropes and an executioner. he pulled back a leaver and u went dropping down.


My two scariest things were the thing about sweeny todd where he was a hair dresser and he cut your hear and when he finished he slit your throat. What happend was it went pitch black and then you suddenly felt something snip your hear and something on your neck. Luckily when the lights came onhe wasnt there. The next one was about jack the ripper and you heard about his deaths and his throte slashing and his body tearing and then it went dark and the lights went on and the barman was still there. the next thing that happened was it went pitch black and suddenly the lights went on and the barman was gone and jack tje ripper was standing there with a knife then the lights went on and off again and he dissapeared.

After that we were hungry and we went to get some lunch. We then caught the under ground to maddame toussaudes and what it was were clay models of famous people and i got a photo of me with wayne rooney, steven gerrard and david beckham ( who are all famous england footballers ) one with the terminator and jonah lomu ( a famous new zealand rugby player )

That was the end of my trip and i hope i get to go there soon

Holiday Recount by Chris

I had an amazing time in Australia. I went there on my own for 10 days to see the Weights (Tom was in my class in year five). We travelled all over the south-west and to Perth; I found 3 snakes and a huntsman spider. We went to an arts festival in Denmark (not the country in Europe) where they did all sorts of things from monologues and poetry to acting and dancing. We also visited Kates’ sister, Joey, and stayed at their house for a night. We went to 2 different farms owned by Kates brother, Mike..

The first one we went to was 1000 acres. We built huts out of branches and twigs in a small forest they called Pollen Land. We had a walk around the farm. There were some great views from up there. Then at the bottom of the hill was a forest which looked like a miniature version of Fangorn forest in lord of the rings. It was really muddy and the trees were dusty and hung over. There were streams separating the forest. The trees were paper bark trees. Their bark was bendy and scrunchy like paper. The Aboriginals used the

Trees bark as paper.
The next farm we went to was further away from the coast. There was no water there underground so the 6000 acre farm was run entirely on rain water. Every winter of summer here the rain would fall into open tanks and was pumped around the farm.

They had huts there in the forest as well but these were made of metal. I drove a motorbike and a quad bike round the farm. In every 2 or so paddocks there would be a dam. It was a pit in the ground which rain water fell into and feed the cattle. In the closest

One they had yabbies. Yabbies are like small fresh-water lobsters. We ate them and they were delicious. I had a ride on a horse. They had six. Most of them were cheeky and tried to run away or throw you off, so I went on the friendly giant. Her name was freckles. She’s 19 and can’t trot because of an injury in a polo match. But it was still fun.

Tom, Sam and I went up in Mikes private 6 seated, propelled plane. The views were fantastic! I went for a drive in one of the tractors and found a massive 8 wheeled tractor in a nearby shed. On the way back to the airport we stopped to take a look at the combine-harvester. Apart from cutting myself, falling over rocks, being crushed by massive waves and being bitten to death by giant mosquitoes, I had a fantastic time and

I would like to go again.

Review of Term 2 by Serena

My Highlight's:
A Little Twist Of Oliver Prodution:

Doing Oliver was great! It all started off with all of us auditioning in front of the class. Then in you wanted a main part you had to audition in front of the whole year 6, Miss Bates, Mr and Mrs Watson and Mrs Anderson.Nearly everyone did it except me and Rachel! After Miss Bates and Mr Watson had some desions to make who will get the main parts?

When they had told us it was time to get the songs and make the scripts! And the next thing you know it we are doing it in front of the crowed! I think the best part was doing it in front of the year 5's.
March of the Penguins:

When it was ICT week Mr Wood came into year 6 to teach us how to use Photo Story. When we had learn't what we need to know we started making a Photo Story. When we had finished making it we had showed it in front of year 6 it was really embarrassing when mine came on !
Victorian Day:

Victorian day was great! All the teachers & children dressed up plus I never knew their life in school was so hard !
I think the best part of the day was pretending to be a Victorian School child.
I hated eating GRUEL!!
I loved this term and I can't wait until next term but I am dreading the .............................................................................................................
SATS :(
Thanks Miss Bates, Mrs Kenny and Mr Watson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Serena :o)

Review of Term 2 by Lucy

I've really enjoyed term 2 of year 6 and I'm really looking forward to next term, the only things I'm not looking forward to is the SATS and LEAVING!!!!!
My favourite things about this term is Victorian day, A Little Twist of Oliver and DIBBA!!!!
I think Victorian day was a fun experience but I wouldn't like to be a Victorian child! I think the funniest moment was when Dan was sent into the girls room for giggling too much! The scariest moment for me was getting told off by Mr Whitehead for not eating the disgusting, tummy churning WATERY PORRIDGE!!! Yuck!!!
I really enjoyed doing our performance of A Little Twist of Oliver! I think Chris and Jamal did exceptionally well but I think everyone did really well!!
Dibba was a very fun experience!! My favourite activities were the archery and the mountain biking. I was quite nervous at first but I gained my confidence and I really enjoyed speeding round the track and bumping over the hills!!!


I can't wait for more fun next term!!!!!!

Review of term 2 by Aliazky

This is Alizaky and this is my highlights of Term 2.
Dibba : It was really exciting going on my first residential trip in Year 6 with the whole year group coming. I learnt loths of things about kayaking,mountain biking , GPS, archery and rock climbing.

Sports Day: We all did a great job in our Yr 5-6 Sports Day in February.Most people did very well in their races and got a Bronze,Silver or Gold Certificate. The standing were Windsor 4th, Hanover 3rd, Tudor 2nd and Stuart 1st but Windsor won the overall standing and defended their cup for the third year in a row.


A Little Twist of Oliver: All of Year 6 did three great performances in front of the school and families.Before that almost every single child in Year 6 auditioned.People Like Chris , Matthew , Jamal and Rose stood out in their main roles.


Victorian day: Everyone wore all fancy outfits and dresses for Victorian Day. It was hard acting like a Victorian child for 4 hours and not smiling. Lots of people did funny and silly things like Dan laughing like a girl ,Zac thinking Norway was in Great Britain and Oisin and Dylan imitating black sheep noises. I would never want to be a Victorian child!!!!!!!!

Term 2 Highlights - By Oisin

I have had many highlights this term, my favourite probably being Dibba.


It was early February and we were all in Dibba. I felt it was a great chance for me to try lots of new things as well as see the other side of my peers, the out of school side.

In Dibba I learnt how to: use a GPS, do archery, mountain bike, overcome fears, look after myself and most of all have loads of fun! My favourite bit was all of it, especially mountain biking and free time. The hardest bit was probably thinking about what to do when I was hanging in the rock climbing relay ;) The conclusion I came to was to untie myself and jump… but it worked because we won and because I am still alive.

I would love to have stayed longer in Dibba. Thank you Mr. Watson, Miss Bates, Mrs. Kenny and Mrs. Birchill for making it so fun.

Charlotte's iFly

Over the summer holidays my dad and I reserved a spot at iFLY at Mirdiff City Center. It was totally rad!


When we got there we had to watch a Video of instructions then we could get geared up!

We went to the station for our equiptment, Goggles, Ear-plugs, Special suit and a helmet.



After all that we went into the chamber, it was pressurised so it made my ears pop! The wind was at about

85 MPH. We found out that it could go higher than 200MPH! Finally, it was my turn. When I entered the chamber it was cold,

I had to jump into the instructors arms and curl my hands up so I don't go flying to the top. In seconds I was floating in the air with my instructor

next to me. It was such an experiance!



I really enjoyed it and I would gladly do it again!

Josh P reviews 'Alice in Wonderland!'

My film review of Alice in Wonderland in 3D


Since Alice was a little girl she had the same dream every night. She was going to a party one day, she saw a rabbit. So she decided to follow the rabbit. She had fall in to a hole when she landed she tried every door in the room. Then she looked behind a curtain she found a small door, then she found the key for the door. She went to the table and she found a bottle that said drink me. She drank the drink. She growing smaller and forgot about the key, she found a piece of cake that said eat me. So she eat the piece of cake and grew bigger, then she held the key in her hand, she drank the drink and she became smaller she went to the door and she put the key in the door and she pushed it open and she went in. She met Mad Hatter and his friends at a tea party.


When the soldiers came Hatter put Alice in a tea pot. Hatter and Alice walked to a river Hatter put Alice on this hat and flew Alice arose the river, Hatter got captured by the red queens army. The next morning the dog had found Alice under Hatter’s hat. Alice told the dog to take her to the red queen castle. Alice asked the dog to through the hat in to the red queen’s garden. Alice climbed in to the red queen’s garden. The queen was playing gulf, she used a flamingo as her bat and a hedgehog as her ball, Alice set the hedge hog free. The red queen found Alice and gave Alice some clothes and took Alice inside the castle.

Alice looked for the 4th sword, the rabbit knew where it was it was in with the beast. Alice went inside and took the key from the beast. Alice opened the chest and took the sword. She went back inside the castle and the prince noticed that the girl was Alice. The red queen’s army was surrounding Alice, the beast smashed though the door. Alice jumped on the beast and went to the white queen’s castle. The white queen made juice that made Alice back to her normal size. There was a fight against Alice and a dragon. When Hatter stabbed the dragon’s tail, everyone started to fight.

In the end Alice chopped the dragon’s head off. A cat took the red queen’s crown and gave it to the white queen. Hatter did his dance. In the end Alice went back to the party.

Rory's Bahrain Trip

Rory's trip to bahrain


Over the easter holiday we went back to barhain where I was born. We

went with some friends whose children were also born there.



We went to lots of places such as the souk ( Bahrain market), Bab

al-Bahrain( Bahrain gate), the pottery market ( were we made our own

pottery), Yateem gardens ( which is where we used to live), Arrad and the

Portugese forts and we also went on a hash. ( which is a running club my

Corynn's Holiday news

For the Easter holidays, my family and I went to Phuket, which is in Thailand. We stayed in hotel called Andaman


Seaview Resort. The hotel was right next to the sea, so we went swimming a few times. I had so much fun and would love to go again.



Here are the activities we did: Jet Skiing

Took a boat to Phi Phi Island and went Snorkeling

Kayaking

Elephant Trekking in the forest

Horse Riding (along the beach)





My Dad and I went Jet Skiing, it was so much fun. The waves were huge, and water was spraying everywhere. It was a great and I really enjoyed it.





My family and I took a boat to Phi Phi Island. It's were you can go Snorkeling and eat, it was great. It took a while to get there, but I think it was

worth it.



We also went Horse Riding along the beach, which was fantastic! We had to walk down with our horses, and then we got to do anything we wanted to for

45 minutes. My mum, my sister and I went cantering along, dodging dogs and people.



We went Kayaking down a river, and enjoyed the scenery. There were huge cliffs next to us, they were so high, there were also caves. We saw lots of

birds soaring above us.



On our last day, we wnt Elephant Trekking, it was absoloutely brilliant! My dad and I were on an Elephant called Pu-ki, he was very greedy and kept ripping

off the branches to eat. We went Trekking in the forest, there were alot of hills. We saw mnkeys swinging in the trees beside us, they were really cute.



I had an amazing time in Thailand and would love to go again. I also think that some of you should go, there is so much to do and it is great fun.

Stuck in the UK - Mr Watson's update

Morning Year 6!

Travel Chaos! Volcanic eruptions! Mr Watson late for school!

Sorry I am not there to be with you to start the term together. As you know there is travel chaos in the UK and Europe in general because of the volcanic eruptions in Iceland. My flight on Thursday was cancelled and we are still grounded now. I have 2 flights booked this week and hopefully the ash will settle soon and we can all get to where we want to go. Fingers crossed. Who could have guessed that this would have happened?

I hope you all well and have had a great Easter Break.  I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Best wishes
Mr Watson
