Now that SATs are over, Year 6 have been reflecting and should be hugely proud of themselves for demonstrating all the Mayhill habits.
With the week starting off with a bank holiday Monday, our year 6s came into their first yummy SATs breakfast ready to tackle the week. Some were feeling a little nervous (adults too!) and others were treating it as, 'just another practice'. However they were feeling, the sense of community and support for each other was wonderful to witness. 
After filling themselves with brioche, fruit, yoghurts and juice, they were fuelled and ready to try their best with their tests. They certainly did just that. 

After 4 SATs breakfasts and 6 different SATs papers, it was over and for most, the week seemed to go rather quickly. 
On Friday, we celebrated with a SATs party in the hall where we drew a raffle, danced our socks off and sung our hearts out: a brilliant end to a week of hard work. 

We are hugely proud of all the children in Year 6. Thank you to all the fabulous staff members that came to help with the breakfasts each morning: you were a huge part of the happiness of the children and the success of the week. 

Year 6 have been learning about converting between fraction, decimals and percentages. We've been enjoying some treasure hunts around the classrooms in order to find these helpful bean bags to make our learning hands on and to help make it stick! 

On Wednesday 1st March, Year 6 visited Gilbert White's House in Selborne in order to study the river and bring our geography topic to life!

Year 6 are kicking off Spring 2 looking at determination and achieving goals. 

Year 6 have been engaging in fun and exciting PE lessons this half-term, using the sports hall athletics equipment bought by the school to allow the children to work on their throwing, catching and sprinting skills indoors during the winter months when the field is out of action. 
During these sessions the children have also been in charge of scoring and adjudicating for others and even awarding faults. The seven activities include

1. standing Long jump

2. standing high jump

3. Beanbag throw 

4. High stepper 

5. Speed bounce 

6. 10x 10m sprints 

7. Balance test 

Steel pan mania has erupted!
