Congratulations Year 6 you’ve made it to your last week of Primary school!! This is not the way any of us wanted your last term with us to be but we hope you will still have fond memories of your time with us that don’t become all about the last few months. On Monday we would like you all to come onto Teams at 11.30am where we will hopefully be able to chat as a year group. Mr Scott has something to show you and tell you about that involves you all so please try to log on at that time. For the last week we have tried to come up with some more light-hearted activities and Mrs A-B has made an Escape room around transition for you to try – we hope you enjoy it! Remember you can always come back to see us and let us know how you are getting on and we will miss you all at Coundon Primary.

Reading
Be Amazing! by Chris Hoy
As a boy, Chris didn’t believe that he would achieve his dream of becoming an Olympic champion. However, he grew up to be a six-time gold medal winner. He shares everything he has learned on his journey to success and hopes that by telling his story, he will inspire young people to be the very best they can be.
Fiction Express
When new neighbours move into the house next door, twins Jazz and Mortimer can’t help being excited. The house has been empty for ages and they have been hoping to have neighbours with children their own age. But Jazz and Mortimer are disappointed to learn there are no children – just a man who goes by the name of Dr Salamander and his elderly housekeeper, Mrs Heckle. They are an odd couple and the children long to find out more about them. But the twins have another mystery to solve – why are the neighbourhood pets disappearing?
