The first ever Year 6 Celebration Day took place on Wednesday this week. The day began with a group activity that involved running between nine stations, each manned by a teacher. The pupils were required to complete various tasks – decode a message in Morse code; create a replica of St Michael’s out of Lego; create freeze frames in various poses and photograph them; identify teacher catchphrases; and build a cairn amongst other activities. Once completed, the groups were given their next clue which directed them to another station and another activity. The fields, playgrounds, terrace and other spaces were abuzz with noise and laughter.

After a specially prepared snack, for a little calm, children planted a tree and wildflower seeds above the tennis court. After that they spent some time poring over their year books and collecting signatures from each other. Before their lunch time picnic which sadly had to be held indoors (thanks for the Drama Room, Mr P), the children had a newspaper fashion show where some impressive design skills and runway struts were on display.

Throughout the morning, the children enjoyed the freedom of running all over the school grounds and remembering funny events from their time at St Michael’s, all while making brand new memories and deepening their friendships within the year group.

Year 6 embraced all of the activities and together, we overcame the obstacles the weather threw at us. It was a wonderful day and one that will be repeated in years to come.
