Ice Skating!

The year 6's have had a wonderful day ice skating and playing in the sun on the Don Valley Bowl. Well done children you were a credit to the school in terms of your behaviour and a fun day has been had by all.

Thank you to Mr. Bowmer for organising the event.

A busy week for the Kensukes!

It has definitely been a busy week for the Kensukes!

The week started with orienteering success on Monday. On Wednesday Kinder, Mr. Wilcock and some other helpers from St. Barts ran a transition morning for us. On Thursday we visited King Edwards to take part in a science lesson in their labs.

What will next week bring?!

Orienteering at Forge Valley

This afternoon 24 of the year 6 class went to Forge Valley to take part in an orienteering competition.

We were put into groups of 6 with 6 boys or girls in each team.

 We had to use the map to find the flags. At the flags we had to punch our control cards with the special hole puncher.

 We ran in pairs to each position then passed the control card on to the next pair in our team.

We had to do a lot of running all over the sports ground of Forge Valley to find the flags.

 Good team work was essential to ensure everyone could read the positions on the map and knew where to run to.

Everyone enjoyed themselves even though it was tiring. Also ...

ONE OF OUR TEAMS WON!!!!!!! Well done boys, what a successful afternoon!

Thanks to Mr. Bowmer for organising the afternoon for us.

Kensuke's Trip to Crucial Crew

On Wednesday the Kensukes visited Crucial Crew. The trip involved taking part in scenarios which taught us about various aspects of personal safety. 

 The Lifewise centre in Rotherham is a set, a little like Coronation Street. This is the local pub!

 The police taught us about peer pressure and shoplifting.

 In the pub, The Corner group spoke to us about the effects of alcohol and under-age drinking.

 We visited a Magistrates Court. We all took on different roles. BW was being put on trial for committing a crime. We decided he should be sent to jail. The maximum sentence for a child aged 10 and over is 2 years.

 We visited the internet cafe. We made a safe social network profile and discussed internet safety.

 RK was the bus driver! We talked about keeping safe on the bus.

 Safe at Last gave us advice about dealing with dangerous situations with members of the public. It was nice to see Miss. Jeffery again!

 The final scenario involved road safety. It takes 23m to stop when driving at 30mph!
