Next year - Dylan

Well I was thrilled when I found out I had received a place in DC and Im really excited. I am going to be a bit nervous settling in because it will be a bit like starting yr 1 all over again. I will enjoy DC but I will miss the school alot I feel like I have made the nicest group of friends I've ever had here and I will miss some of them as they leave, especially tomas as he has and will be one of my best friends. I have got to know the school well even though it is my first year. I hope my friends also DC can stay. I am not sure how long I will be staying in Dubai for, perhaps untill I go to university. I feel like I have made the most of my time at primary school and its time to move on and I cant wait for all the exciting new things we learn.


Dylan

Rachel's plan for next year

As some of you know, I am not going to attend high school in Dubai. I am unfortunately moving back to Ireland and I will be returning to my old school for year 7 and then I will be moving onto high school for year8 which is not far from my house. My mom, my brother,my sister and I are flying home on the night we get our holidays and my dad and cat are following us back the following morning. I will really miss all my friends in Dubai but it was an amazing experience, living in Dubai for a year.




Rachel

Super Rachel!

If I had to choose a superpower, I would probably choose invisibility. It thought and thought about other superpowers but, I would definitely enjoy using invisibility!


I would click my fingers and turn invisible! I could go around the place and poke people and make them all creeped out! And if I heard anybody talking about me (in a nasty way) I could poke them again and maybe start talking to them! That will definitely scare them!!!!!!!!!!!!



Rachel

A FANTASTIC PEROSN AND SUPER MEMBER OF THE CLASS!

Super Rose to Save the World!

There are hundreds of super powers I could wish for such as; super strength, flying and super speed but if I had to have 1 heroic, spectacular super power in the whole world I would choose invisibility because: When an unfortunate person was in grave danger my danger senses would tingle and I would be able to fight the bad guys and I would always win because whenever they tryed to punch or kick I would be invisible making it extremely difficult to know were to hit and to know were I was! KAPOW! BOOM! Secondly, whenever you are starving for chocolate or anything, and your parents are in the kitchen blocking you from eating, secretly you could quietly creep into the kitchen and magically grasp the mouth watering food without anyone knowing! I also have an exclusive one for older sisters, because you could play funny pranks on them if they did anything bad to you. So if I had to have 1 super power it would definately be Invisibility!

SUPERB,of I go to save the world! TO THE RESCUE!

Alec's superpower!

If I had to choose just one superpower I think it would have to be super speed because I would be able to get places really fast and see everything on the way and if I wanted to go so fast I could run on water or that nobody could see me. Making it (in my view) as good as invisibility, teleportation and super swimming skills. Plus you could get out of some difficult situations and you would never get it playing games, another bonus is that if you were late you could run to where ever you need to go and also get out of the horrible heat in Dubai at the moment.I was going to choose flying as my could be power but I chose super speed because it's better exercise and I won't get fed up making up long winded explanbations of why I just flew down from the sky. Plus I think it would be harder to breathe high in the sky and bad visibility in the clouds.However a bad thing about super speed is that if I tripped over it would really really hurt !But then again not as much as if I fell from the sky.

A post by Eloise

I had a brilliant weekend last week and here's why:
THURSDAY

On thursday after school Becky Lucy and I all went to see Shrek 4

(unfortunately Lauren couldn't come) with Lucy's dad and her sister.

Shrek was hilarious and sad in some scenes, (I cried, 3 times...) but

defiantly worth seeing! All the characters are different and I reckon

Puss is my favourite!!


FRIDAY

I WENT TO iFLY!! It was amazing! First we had to wait about ten

minutes for our lesson, then our instructor came and he put on a

tutorial video on. After that we had to put on our gear: A baggy all

in one suit (mine was purple!!) helmet goggles and a beanie (if your

head was too small) and earplugs!! Then our group was called and

we had to sit on this long bench in this little room around the air

room! One by one everyone went into the air room where air was

blown up through a humongous air vent on the bottom of the floor, with

only a net stopping you from falling miles down the vent!! When I first

jumped in I was a bit nervous but felt so much better when I realised

where I was and what I was supposed to do! We got two goes and

each go was one minute, a rip of hey for 145 dirhams!! In my group

there was a little boy who seemed about 2 years old and he actually

loved it and dived into it!! After My lesson I was surprised to find Chris

about to have his lesson and after Chris, Emily!! If you havent been

I REALLY recommend going!!
SATURDAY

Relax and learned my script!!

A post from Ashleigh

hi guys!!!



I have made a really FUNNY drawing of me in super hero form.

The bug in the corner is my sidekick BUZZ, I am called Rainbow Gal.

I got the name when Rachel and I came out from swimming - We tied our towels round our

necks and came up with SUPER nicknames for ourselves and came up with

RAINBOW GAL and PEACE PERSON! (the reason why i'm called rainbow gal is because

my towel has multi-coloured stripes on it, and Rachel's reason is... actually I don't

know why, her towel doesn't have the slightest whiff of peace :D )
I will make a comic including rainbow gal and her sidekick BUZZ!!!!

Well, I hope you guys like the drawing!!!!!! :)

A post from Claire

My Weekend
Over the weekend I just stayed in Dubai spending most of my time resting and enjoying the time I had, but I was still busy because I spent about half of my time cleaning it and rearranging it. I've been cleaning my room for nearly a week and it's really tiring but I some how enjoyed doing it because I was tired of having to walk, no make wade through things I barely bever touched. My room took me nearly hours a day but I found the result worth it. The day I was most active on was Monday, My mum and I went to Lamcy plaza to drop something for one of my mums friends which I found extremly dull (thankfully I was smart enough to bring a book.) but we left eventualy and went to Mall of the Emirates, Mum got some new clothes and I got a day out the house. The next day my dad took me to Festival Mall to get some shelves and boxes. First we just sat down in Costa and had something to drink then I went upstairs to look in Wizz and Geekay, then about 20 minutes later I met up with my dad and we went into IKEA. I usally don't like going to IKEA but I wanted to go there for some reason. We spent about half an hour there and we obtained a bulliten board and some boxes. We went home and I some how ended up watching American Idol with my mum! Not much of an active half term but I sure did have fun.
Claire :) :)

Hazel goes Karting!

Gokarting




On Friday, we went go karting with Emily, George, Celia and Matt Waterfield. We arrived at the Autodrome after lunch, and signed in. Then we went and got changed into our gokarting suits. Emily and I were too big for the ExtraSmall, and way to small for a Small size. In the end we wore a small size and looked like rappers! Then we put on our gloves and balaclavas and got some helmets, and we were ready to go! My dad and Matt went first, and then it was the kids go!!! My heart was beating as I got into the kart, and all too soon I was off! At first I went quite slowly but then I started to enjoy it and zoomed along the track. Every time I crossed the finish line I punched the air, which often made me crash into a wall(!). It was over too quickly, and I got out of the kart. Sweat trickled off my nose, I was boiling hot, but it was some of the best fun I've ever had. Go karting is AWESOME!!



Hazel

Tomas's half-term report

During half term, I did some exciting things like go to Dylan's house for a sleepover which we stayed up late to watch comedy movies like Meet The Spartans and Sports Movie and of course, we ate POPCORN. In the morning, Dylan and I had pancakes which Dylan overflowed with chocolate syrup.


I also went to Adam's house and played the awesome game of football and the great, addicting game of Age of Empires. We also played deflections and basically all you need to do is scatter shoes around the place and then kick a tennis ball into the goal. :P.

Finally, the best part, my football team entered a 5 a side football tournament which we sadly didn't win but we came 3rd which was ok for our successful team. ;-0.

I had an action-packed half term with lots of fun things to do. I really enjoyed it!!!

Dylan's Half term report

My half term was really good and relaxed apart from friday, saturday,sunday, monday and tuesday.

Friday: We have heard a lot about kidzania so we decided to go and by fluke we saw cameron graham from year 5. It was pretty unique because it was the only thing which i got money for working in different places. It was cool to go around but by midday it was packed because it was a popular attraction. Aswell as I saw some of my friends from my rgby team there aswell. since they go to different schools it was good to see them.

Saturday: This was my first ever skiing lesson, put it this way, im extremely bad. We strted with simple basics like how to put your skis on and how to move and then minutes later we were heading up for little slopes. I went down 10 times and was 10% successful because I crashed a lot. We're going skiing in the summer so I hope I improve before then.

Sunday: I went to Adam's house in the afternoon and we played age of the empires ( adams addicting game ) and red ball ( my addicting games ) and i completed level 17!! we also played a really fun game called deflection football with a bouncy ball where we dodge shoes. HE ALWAYS WINS :(

Monday and tuesday: In the afternoon Tomas came over for a sleepova and we stayed up and watched really funny movies! =P In the morning we had pancakes and I went crazy with chocolate syrup. We went in the pool and played football. It was great fun!

DYLAN

Oisin's Weekend Review

My highlight of the weekend was, undoubtedly, the 5 a side football tournament I took part in.


We got through our group quite easily but were then drawn a tough semi final against the eventual champions. It was a very close game which, unfortunately, we lost 3-2.

However, in the awards ceremony I was presented with a new pair of goalie gloves and a water bottle for being the “most valuable” goalie. I was delighted to receive that award but unhappy not to win the tournament.

It was a day of mixed emotions although it was fun.

Oisin

Super Dylan!

I could think of many super powers i could dream for but if i had to choose one I would pick the power to make any food i want. Sometimes I'm really hungry and I look in the fridge and there is vertually nothing but with this power I can just click my fingers and suddenly It is filled with heavenly food. Sometimes im sitting on the sofa and im watching tv and Im hungry. I could wish for chocolate and sweets and lollipops and gummybears and jelly snakes and jelly croissants and jelly beans etc and they would all appear. This may seem a little unique but for me this would be an amazing power to have. My next two would be telepathy and invisibility

YEAR 6 GET DANCING

This week year 6 had a guest teacher Mrs Stebbing from Jumeirah College . Year 6 were put through a complicated series of dance moves using ribbons and involving rolls, turns and kicks.


This the first part of the dance which pupils will be adding to over the next few weeks hopefully ending up with a complete dance routine in the last week of term.

Super powers!

SUPER HEROES  - WHICH SUPER POWER WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Roll up all potential super heroes! If you could choose any super power....and only one...which one would you choose???

Leave your choice as a comment to this post, with an explanation for why!


e.g.
Mr Watson  - Super hero!
I would choose Teleportation.
I have thought long and hard about this, and got down to a top 3 quite easily. I would love to have the ability to fly or be invisible. But after a lot of thought I have opted for the ability to teleport. I think it would be amazing to just think of a place I wanted to be and simply just be there within a blink of an eye. No more traffic jams, long waits in airports or planes, no long journeys...just a click of the fingers and there I am. How amazing would that be. I could just pop to Antarctica to see the penguins, to USA to see the Rockies or Grand Canyon. Suddenly pop to Egypt or Rome for human features, or the Maldives or Tanzania for nature. I could even just pop home to the uk to see my family for a cup of tea! Anthing I wanted and most importantly ANYWHERE!
That is the superpower i would most want.
Mr Watson

My weekend - by Adam B

On Thursday Daniel Smith came over to my house to have a sleepover. We went to Spinneys and bought some sweets! Daniel brought his laptop as well and we played an on line game together which was very fun.We stayed up pretty late that night! He went home the next day at 3 PM. On Saturday I had a 5 a side football tournament. We came 3rd. Out of a group of 4 the top 2 go through. We came 2nd which was lucky. The team got a win and 2 draws which gave us 5 points. We got knocked out of the semi - finals 3-2. Consequently we came 3rd.


I had a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

By Adam B.

James D's half-term report

My half term was started by just chilling around at awesome places, and I had a great time.


First we went to the posh SeaFire resteraunt to celebrate the end of sats week, we all had a nice big juicy stake. We sometimes went to the beach at the jebal ali hotel and sunbathed there for the day, and sometimes we stayed at home watching T.V, ofcourse I went to see one of my best friends Robbie who lives just across the road. We went to the cinema to see prince of persia and then we went again another day to see shrek 4!

One day I spent the evening with my mum and dad at my dads friends house from work. There was lots of kids there and even a waterslide in the backgarden!

I found my half term quite relaxing, it wasnt a crazy one this time!

James D.

Emily's update

On the weekend I went to Mirdiff City Center .


iFly

They have this thing called iFly. It's like skydiving except a huge fan holds you up. When I was there I saw Chris! It was so fun! My family and I all did it together.We bought pictures of us doing it and there's this really funny one of my brother looking really shocked. When we finished we got certificates.

SKYRIDE

It's like a giant obstacle course zip line! First we were sent down a proper zip line and then we had to do all these weird obstacle. My brother and I were really scared as it was REALLY high of the ground! Some of the obstacles were: a climbing wall in the air!, a spiders net, these things that were like hanging stepping stones, a rope bridge and loads more things.

Rose Reviews her Half term holidays

Over my half term I did loads of things:


Thursday: After school on thursday kristi came over to my house and we decided we wanted to go to magic planet for a few hours so my mum dropped us of at the mall, while she went shopping kristi and I went on all the rides! After about half and hour we went onto the Jumpin star and thats when we saw Matthew Styles eating at johnny rockets so once we had got off the ride we were trying to find him but it was like he wasnt there because we couldnt find him anywhere!!! My mum then called me and asked if kristi and I were hungry so we went down to the food court and kristi had KFC and i had nyf (new york fries) when suddenly kristi spotted Miss Bates eating at a table so we purposely sat next to her and were staring at them just to be annoying! :D (=P Once we got home we went to the pool and I came up with a wacky idea that we would go into the bathrooms and slide everywhere, so we went into the bathrooms and made a mess with soap and then we slid all over the floor (it was fun)!!! :P



Friday: On Friday I met up with Kristi and Ellie and we went to the Dubai mall to do ice skating for 2 hours. Once we got our boots on kristi realized she needed a bigger size so we had to wait a little longer which was fine because ellie and I just carried on talking about stuff... After everyone had got there skates on we went down to the other half of the changing rooms were the hockey nets were, which was then i decided to go behind them. So i got in first and then kristi but as she was coming in I forgot to move my finger and her skate accidently went over my fingers causing lots of blood to come squirting out( i had to tell you that)!!!! I then asked the ice rink dude if I could have a plaster so he gave one to me. Ice skating had finished so ellie kristi and I went to new look and tryed on all of the really high high heels and nearly fell. Candylicious was next sweets!!!!!!!! yum yum. We all got sour spray which tasted really nice but then as soon as we got out the shop someone accidently knocked kristi and hers broke on the floor so the shop allowed her to exchange it for a different one. We then went up to Sega Republic and we took ellie on the Spin Gear Rolacoaster. Weeeee.... . That night Ellie and Kristi slept over at my house and we stayed up and watched the Hangover LOL (=P. # Saturday The next day Kristi had to go home really early so me and ellie went round to the pool and went to go see Shrek 4 at Ibn Batuta.



Saturday Afternoon: After they had all gone my Guiding Group went to the Madinat Theatre to watch The Bird Show which involved acrubats in the air, trampolines hula hoop and many more, it was AMAZING!



Thats some of the things I did over the Half Term.



Rose :P :o) :D (=P

Charlotte and the cat!

'I have rescued a lovely kitten that was about to die in a trash can if it wasnt found. Luckily our gardener rescued him from his terrible fate.


He is now living healthily in a warm bed and with an Air conditioned room, eating biscuits and meat he is happy as larry.

Unfortunately, he is suffering from a Hernia which has produced a big lump on his belly. The tube that connects the mother and the child at birth, has not been detached properly and has gone back inside him. He will die from this.

He is a pedigree kitten, his breed is a Siamese with baby blue eyes, and to make him even MORE cuter he is 4 weeks old and can fit easily into your closed hands! We have decided to be his future parents and we will take good care of him!'


Charlotte :D

Felix's holiday news

During my half term my family and I went all the way up the coast of Abu Dabi and took a ferry over to an island called Sir Bani Yas island. We took a bus to the resort they had there,we then went and had a explore around the resort then we had dinner and went to bed.



For the next 1 and 1/2 day we did activites like Archery,Kyaking and safari, I enjoyed the Archery most because it was fun to beat everyone and whach my dad missing the target and then whaching his arrow fly off into the distance.

Then the rest of my half term I just chilled about in my house and thats pretty much it.

Felix

Kings' Year 6 link up with Little Harrowden School (Mr Rees' school)

I'm sure that many of Year 6 who have been at Kings' for a long time will fondly remember Mr Rees.

 Mr Rees and I worked together for the almost the first 2 years of Kings' being open, when you guys were in year 1 and 2. Mr Rees taught in year 6 and Year 4 as well as being part of the School Leadership team.

Mr Rees and I have remained friends ever since. (Mr Watson still misses his good banter, staffroom games and his funky bass playing!)

Mr Rees is now a succesful headteacher at Little Harrowdeen, in the UK. Why don;t you find out more about his school by visiting their brilliant website:

http://littleharrowden.nthink.net/

http://www.littleharrowden.northants.sch.uk/

I have shared our blog with Mr Rees and Ms Foo,  Year 6 Teacher. The children of Littel Harrowden will be checking out oiur blog to see what we get up to.

The plan is we will be doing some great collobartive work between the 2 schools once  we have finished SATs. Watch this space for more information.

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

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
