Year 6 Leavers
Today we said Goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 children. At the Leavers Service at the Church, we heard their memories and awarded the End of Year Awards. We are incredibly proud of each of you and will miss you lots.
Thank you to the Friends of Lockerley for sponsoring the Year 6 Leavers Hoodies
House Captains Day - the whole school enjoyed House Captains Day where we tried some new and unusual sports. We warmed up with some group dances, then tried Quidditch and the Paralympic sport Boccia. We all finished the morning with some Cosmic Yoga in our classes. What a fun morning!
Rounders - the whole school enjoyed an inter-house rounders competition in the sunshine!
Outdoor Learning Day - The whole school enjoyed an outdoor learning afternoon helping to look after the school grounds, whittling and building dens!
Sports Day - All children enjoyed Sports Day, taking part in lots of different sports including throwing, jumping, cardio and target. They also all competed in a variety of track events. Special shout out to all that competed in mum, dad and pre-school races!
Village Walk - Our whole school went on a walk around the woods in Lockerley, finishing with a picnic lunch at Hampshire Christian Trust Camping Site. We had a great time, despite the wet weather!
Swallowtails and Emperors classes have been very busy this week performing Mary Poppins Junior. All children were involved in the production joining in group numbers like 'Supercalifragalisticexpialidocious'! Thanks to all of the adults that supported the children, especially Sue Tatnall for all of the incredible costumes. We are really proud of all of the children for putting on such an amazing show!
D-Day - Everyone at Lockerley school learned about the significance of D-Day, commemorating the 80th anniversary on 6th June in Collective Worship. We enjoyed looking at photographs taken at the US Army Depot which was based in the village. Junipers class and Swallowtails class designed memorial medals, while Emperors Class wrote information texts, and diaries from the point of view of the soldiers.
Spirituality Week - All of the children spent the week learning about the concept of spirituality. We took part in a number of activities throughout the week like litter picking, art and creating our new spiritual garden, which was blessed by Vicar James. We are really proud that our work from this week is on display at St John's Church.
Visiting artist - Abstract artist Hannah Christie visited our school and worked with all of the children to create art pieces to represent their Houses. We used a range of mediums including natural items, buttons, sponges and paintbrushes to create different textures.
Easter - We have enjoyed celebrating Easter with a PTA competition for Easter bonnets, cakes and crafts, our Easter Service at Church, Easter egg hunting and learning about Easter in RE. We are proud to have our work displayed at Church.
Science Day - During our science day we had lots of fun in our classes experimenting and learning new things. We also had a class workshop session with Professor Kaos. Part of the workshop included finding out more about dry ice. He showed us how dry ice doesn’t melt into a liquid as it warms up. Instead, it converts directly back into its gas in a process known as sublimation. Professor Kaos also led a whole school assembly at the end of our science day which involved many experiments including how icing sugar could be used to make fire!
World Book Day - We celebrated World Book Day with lots of different costumes representing literary characters! We took part in different book-themed activities throughout the day to share our love of reading, and welcomed in some of our school volunteers to share their favourite books with the children.
Community Lunch - We really enjoyed welcoming members of our local community into school to have lunch with us. The House Captains sat with them in the school hall, and invited them to taking part in a number of lunchtime activities including playground game, knitting and chess.
Valentine's Disco - Thank you to our amazing PTA team who transformed the hall to host a super Valentine’s Disco. The children enjoyed a very energetic time with music, games, along with a drink and snack. Funds raised from the event go to supplement activities/trips for the children at school.
Chess Evening - Mr McCann organised another competitive but fun chess night which was really well attended with current pupils challenging both past pupils and parents. Thank you to everyone who attended.
NSPCC Number Day - Children enjoyed a day of maths, art, food, music, money and games. The children enjoyed dressing as numbers and strutting their stuff on the catwalk in our 'Number Fashion Show'. Board games were enjoyed with family and friends, followed by several workshops. The children enjoyed creating patterns and translating this into music, they explored art with shape and Tangrams. They also investigated fractions and patterns making fruit kebabs. It has been an incredible day and all whilst raising funds for an amazing charity.
