Day 1- PGL 2023

Year 6 have had a great first day at PGL! After our journey down to Wiltshire, we got straight into the activities, enjoying the Zipwire, Challenge Course, Climbing & Survivor tasks! We’ve even had free time- playing football and thinking of team names and mottos!

Dinner this evening was yummy 😋, and then we ended the day with a competitive game of Capture the Flag. Time for bed now as we have a very early start tomorrow!

SATS 2023

PLEASE note that the 2023 Key Stage 2 SATs were originally due to start on Monday 8th May 2023 but this has been shuffled back by one day to Tuesday 9th May due to the extra bank holiday for the King’s coronation.

Date Exam
Tuesday 9 May 2023 Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling – Paper 1
Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling – Paper 2
Wednesday 10 May 2023 English Reading
Thursday 11 May 2023 Maths Paper 1 (Arithmetic)
Maths Paper 2 (Reasoning)
Friday 12 May 2023 Maths Paper 3 (Reasoning)

Unfortunately this does mean that pupils will be taking their national assessment tests immediately after a bank holiday, possibly impacting attainment.

Crafting can help you get into a “flow state,” sometimes referred to as “being in the zone.” Fully engaging in a hobby encourages a state of flow where a sense of time and self-consciousness seem to disappear. Allowing attention to flow away from ourselves and into a craft can offer relief from negative feelings, and promote a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Everything can be made with machines but nothing compares to something made with hands and the heart.
