Savannah really wants to do her best and has worked hard to show this. She is now not only writing more but also really trying to be independent and achieve the success criteria in our lessons. Well done Savannah 

 

Beech class – Year 6 Mr Hales 
Tommy

We have found out that Tommy is a star performer. During the auditions Tommy wanted to sing and he performed superbly finishing to whoops and cheers from the rest of the year. On subsequent days when others needed a bit of support to perform, Tommy was willing to take to the stage again with his comedy performance to make them feel more comfortable. Not only has Tommy given consideration to his singing but to his entire performance - dancing, speaking and acting. He has totally committed to his role. I can’t wait for you to show off to the rest of the school. 
 
Birch Class – Year 6 Mrs Webb 
Ethan

I have chosen Ethan this week for the commitment he shows to his work every single day. He has transformed this year and, as a result, has made such a lot of progress. His attitude is what I am most proud of. He is often the first child to get himself on task and he wants to make his work the best that it can be. Even in History lessons, and other subjects in the wider curriculum, he will draft his work on a white board first and check it to make sure that he has used his literacy skills to ensure that it is of high quality. If he hasn’t completed his work in the allotted time, he asks himself if he can stay in to finish. You can’t get much more committed than that. I am really proud of you Ethan and hope that this wonderful attitude continues next year.

 

Yew – Year 6 Mrs Jackson Mr Kelly Mr Rowe 
Harry

Harry is an easy choice for this week’s star of the week because he is committed in every lesson, every day. He arrives at school in full uniform, on time and settles in ready to learn straight away. He puts his hand up in class and offers his ideas, always willing to share knowledge with the class. He independently completes tasks asked of him and offers to help others, continuing to show his commitment to school, his classmates and the work he is completing. Harry also reads regularly and is on his lime bookmark and he always hands in high quality homework. Well done, Harry.
