Year 6 Enterprise Project

Over the next few week all pupils will be designing and making products to sell at a profit at the Summer Fayre. We will have to ask Mr.Wilson to lend us some money in order to buy our materials. We have worked out our profit breakdowns in a detailed buisness plan. Each group are making something different ranging from Model Cars to stuffed teddy bears. We also have made buisness plans forwarded to Mr.Wilson in order to get the money asked for. Some groups are asking for more than others but making more money. We will also have to give Mr.Wilson the money we lent back. We have also have splitt the profits between our partner schools in Uganda and the new Year 6 Common Room.

What a Knight!

This years' end of Year 6 Production is entitled What a Knight.  There are many hilarious parts in the play and all Year 6 are lookin forward to the auditions for parts in the play which will take place next week. Jordan O'Neill has already decided which part he will be auditioning for - one of the Good Knights, who all have very amusing names. Jordan says that ''I want to be Sir Render because it will be funny when everyone has said my name :).'' (get it -haha lol)  Hon-Yin wants to be Merlin and so does Owen!!! I'm sure that there will be many outstanding auditions from the Year 6's - Mr Simpson, Mrs Brook and Miss Gascoigne will have a very difficult job to decide on who gets which part! I wouldn't want to be them!

Walk 2 school week

This week children throughout the country are walking to school. Many children in
Robin Hood primary school have made a huge effort to walk (or cycle) their way to
school. Depending on how many times you walk to school you will earn a fantastic
certificate. If you have made arrangements to be dropped off at a freinds house and
not outside the school gates, it will still count as walking to school! You will earn the
following certificate for the number of days you walk to school:

1 day=  bronze
2 days= silver
3 days= gold
4 days= diamond
5 days= platinum

We would like you to aim for the platinum certificate!!!!

Cross Country

14th May 2010



So Robin Hood have just finished a tiering 1.3 miles of deadly terain whilest constently running,
Here at school evryone is exaustedand and out of water so lets talk to some people who ran the tiering cross country :-

• Megan Brown, who did the fun run, "It was really fun but when you got to the massive field it was quite hard"
• Jake Whitwam , who did the fun run, " It was quite hard at parts but when you got really tired you had to keep going to try and get 1st,2nd or 3rd"!
• Harry Kendell ,who did the boys A team,"It was tiring for me but I finnished in the end and came 31st "

This year we achived 2 medals both for second place one coming Jake whitwam and the other comes from Ellie Barltrop both were in the Fun run but because jake is in year 6 he won't be able to do the A team but ellie will have a chance.

This year all of the schools in rothwell, carlton, woodelsford, Robin hood and Saint Marys, came and ran there best so lets hope next year the year 5s will do better because this years year 6's will not be able to do the AMAZING cross country next year.

MMMMMAAAADDDD Science Assembly!!!!!

Today Supersonic Scott visited us to show us some whacky and wonderful experiments. His best friend EGGbert the egg had a problem. He was seriously overweight from eating an overdose of Junk foods causing him to not be able to fit into his house. Scott then burnt the oxygen inside Eggbert's home. Using the laws of science Eggbert popped into his House. He was also a crowd pleaser using dry Ice, We thought it was really COOOOOOL!!(get it?) He made a dry ice Gas shower which he tested on his assistent, Hannah Steel.

Robin Wood 2010

Robin Wood is a fun-filled adventure residential for 8-11 year olds. We will be staying at Barhaugh hall in Alston,Cumbria which can easily hold up to 180 children. Barhaugh hall is situated in the northen Penines standing in 9 acres of land. There are also a lot of activities dotted all around Robin Wood including stream walking and Expidition walking. Inside the activities centre buildings are all different activities both needing you to use brain and physical areas. There will be climbing walls and everybody will also be experiencing a caving!! There will also be the Piranha pool (of course!) which is a maze style activity usingmentaland physical skills, But the best partis the end where there will be a pool full of Piranhas. Each person will have to try and cross the pool without falling in, But Don't worry the Piranhas have had their teeth taken out(Do they grow back,i wonder?) so they wont bite but will just suck on your feet.

SATs

SATs have taking place and now completed. But does everbody like them? Hon Yin Lai investigates:-

I think that they help us prepare for year 7.

Beth Endersby, Miss gascoigne's class, Quoted " I think that they are stressing and are pointless to do"

Nathan Dickinson, Mr.Simpson's class, Quoted " At the beginning they were really presuring but they got easier as the week went on."

Megan Brown, Mrs.Brooks class, Qouted " They're not as bad as I was expecting, but they do put pressure us too much."
Emily gothard + Daniella Strangeway,miss gascoigne's class,Quoted"We are so glad that they are over(phew, what a relief!) They were really stressful we dont think the haribo's helped but Yummy in our tummy!?! hehe."

So the pupils of Robin Hood Primary school have mixed emotions.
