Robin Wood Residential, 7th-9th of June 2010

The Year 6's have now arrived back from Alston, where the Robin Wood Activity centre is. After a long and hard 2 and a half hour journey, we went on a nature hunt around the countryside. The Views were AMAZING!!! Unfortunately the weather was against us, with rain pouring down from the day we arrived to the day we left, But that was not stopping us!

The Activities

There were many Fun-Filled and exhilarating activities there, Like; Piranha Pool.

Stream Walk

We were the first year 6's from Robin Hood to do Stream Walk after they lifted the ban last year. They walk wasn't as easy as you think, there were slippery rocks and wobbly rocks and sometimes even both, we were soaking by the end. Also the water was also FREEZING, and we even had a water fight at the end.


Giant Swing

The Giant swing was probably the thrill of Robin Wood. We swung from a tall metal swing high up in the air, Pulling Winnie the Pooh to release the swing. The Swing went so fast that the force even hurt your face. Everybody had a choice on how high you wanted to go, most people went to the top.


Piranha Pool

Piranha Pool was a challenge that consisted of mazes, jigsaws and we even had to go across a giant pool.

Rodillian Teachers arrive at Robin Hood...

Yesterday y6 had a special visit from three teachers from Rodillian high school. Mr. Bush (head of year 7) had a chat with Mr.Simpson about what we are like, what levels we are working at and friendships. While they were having a great chat about us we did some activity's with Mrs. Singleton and Mr.Sweeney. We learned about the 5Rs which are Resilient, Reflective, Responsible, Resourcefull and Reasoning. Mrs. Singleton gave us all a sheet of paper where we had to put our name, school and three choice of friends (the choices are for who we want in our form class in high school) Before the teachers left our school they gave us a piece of paper top make a superhero top-trump card...It was an incredible afternoon!

Enterprise Project Buisness Plans with Mr Wilson

Yesterday all of Year 6 presented their business plans for their Enterprise Project to Mr Wilson. Eacg group were hoping to persuade him to loan an amount of money in order to resource the materials needed to make each product. Mr Wilson looked extremely pleased with our business plans. All of Year 6 have been working really hard to produce a high-quality buisness plans which clearly show where profits will be made. Mr Wilson gave some amazing comments on our buisness plans and he also said that we had all done very well. He also gave each group some tips on how to improve our business plans including thinking about market researching what children and parents thought a reasonable price to sell each product would be.

Today we have begun to make at least one quality example of our products so we can begin the market research and also present each product to Jenny from the PTA.

Local Government Project

On Thursday the 20th of May, the Year 6 pupils at Robin Hood Primary became MPs in the making as we discussed issues to do with the Local Government with a lady from The Local Government Yorkshire and Humber Group. We discussed what Local Government was with Farhana as well as listing as many jobs we could think of that are employed by The Local Council.

After working in groups, we came up with jobs like Graphic Design, Administrator Assistant, Refuse Collectors ( Dustbin Men and women), Social Worker and Teacher, which is pretty good considering that there are over 620 possible employment types when working for the Local Council!!!

At the end of the class debate we were all giving a quiz to figure out "How well we knew our Local Government". They were all multiple choice and there were some easier and and some harder questions. Questions like " The local government refers to what?" a) the MPs you vote for at a local election; b) the Local Council or c) the Scottish Parliament? were easy to answer because we had been listening very carefully to what Farhana had to say. Everyone enjoyed the lesson.

Farhana specialises in helping young people understand the importance of Local Government- she has visited many High Schools in the reigon, but we are the very first Primary School she has been to. She said that our responses to her questions we even better than those she sometimes gets at High Schools!!!
