Isle of Wight: Monday

We have had a lovely first day of our trip- and the weather has stayed sunny all day! We stopped off at Guildford Cathedral for a rest stop on the way to Southsea. We had lunch and a walk, then went to the D-Day Museum. After the ferry ride, we soon arrived at the hotel and settled into our rooms. After dinner, we walked down to the beach for a bit of fun in the sand. Let's hope this great weather continues tomorrow!


All is quiet now, so goodnight from year 6.

Dancing Through the Decades

Well done to all of year 6 for a fantastic final performance of Dancing Through The Decades. Here are some pictures taken during the rehearsals. 


Underneath the slideshow, I have posted a high resolution picture of the whole of year 6. If any parents would like to request higher resolution versions of any of the other pictures, email your request to year6wykeham@gmail.com.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Our coffee morning went really well! Over £200 raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Busy, busy, busy...

Year 6 have been rather busy this week. 


Rehearsals are going well for our end of year production. The stage in the hall is up and it is all coming together nicely. Can children please bring in costumes as soon as possible? Thanks for those of you that have already started to bring some stuff in.


The children have also been very busy getting ready for our Coffee morning to raise some money for Macmillan Cancer Support. This will take place this Friday (22nd June) between 9.45 and 10.15am. As you can see below, we have already been hard at work doing some baking, so do come along to support a good cause.
