Year 6LD @RF

Last Friday, Year 6 swapped their pencils for pins and headed to the bowling alley for an afternoon of strikes, spares, and the occasional sideways throw. Let’s just say, if bowling was an Olympic sport, our Year 6s would be enthusiastic participants. Whether the ball hit the target or mysteriously found its way into the gutter, the cheers (and laughs) were loud and proud. The teachers, meanwhile, wisely stayed on the sidelines—rumour has it they were too scared to lose to their students!

Back in the classroom, things have taken a more reflective turn. In English, the students have been working on speeches that capture their journeys through primary school. With a mix of humour, heartfelt memories, and just a touch of drama (this is Year 6, after all), they are crafting farewell messages that look back on the highs, the challenges, and the very important discovery that glue sticks should never be left uncapped.

These speeches will soon be shared at their leavers’ assembly—tissues at the ready! It’s a big milestone, and the Year 6 team couldn’t be prouder of how thoughtfully (and often hilariously) the students have expressed themselves.

From bowling balls to big emotions, it’s been a week to remember.
