THANK YOU

A very big thank you from Mrs Doran and Miss Renier for our very generous gifts received during the course of this final week of term.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish the children all the very best for their summer holidays and for their new schools.

As teachers, we have had a great year and looking back there are many precious memories which we hope the children will take away with them.

It is a time to say thank you and we want to thank you, the parents, for all the support you have given us and your children during the year as well as the school as a whole throughout the time your children have been at Crabtree. For many of you it is the end of an era as the last of your children move on to pastures new.

Children, please come back and visit us occasionally; we do like to hear what you are up to and see how much you have grown!

Have a great summer, let's hope the rain gives us a miss for a few weeks.

Thank you again from the Year 6 Team.

The end approaches...

Again another very busy week has come to an end with many of the children taking and passing both levels of their cycling proficiency during the week. This was especially difficult this year as the course had to be reduced into 4 days due to the secondary transfer day on Thursday. Well done to all who took part despite the weather that did its best on some days to rain you off!

Speaking to the children today we are convinced, as if we weren't before, of how much they enjoyed their transfer day and are eagerly awaiting that move on to pastures new. However they have one last week as primary school children and as usual in year 6 the week ahead is another busy one. So a few reminders to both parents and children:

Please make sure your costumes for the concert are all in school ready for our dress rehearsal on Monday.
Also, please can the children bring a spare carrier bag into school so we can continue with the clearing up of trays and work from around the classrooms.

For parents, your attendance at our Leavers Concert on the evening of Tuesday 17th July would be much appreciated. We kick off with an auction of your children's art work- those fantastic canvasses they created in groups as part of their Harry Potter work are up for grabs- bring your bidding hand and cheque book!
The concert will follow the auction.

On Wednesday we depart for London, children should have brought home a letter with final details today.
After an early lunch we leave school at 12:00p.m. in order to arrive in plenty of time for the matinee at 2:30p.m. Children will need a bottle of water to take with them. Traffic being what it is in London we aim to be back at school by 7:00p.m. but if there are any major changes to this you will receive a text.

On Thursday, we would hate to let up on our aim to keep our children busy up until the end so we have planned a Smarties Investigation Day. Something we hope all the children will look forward to.

Friday will be an easy day when non electrical games may be brought into school. If children would like to get a shirt signed as a memento of their time at Crabtree please make sure they are wearing one shirt and bring an alternative one for signing.

We look forward to an exciting and busy final week of term.

The Year 6 Team.

Dear Year 6 children,

Below you will find all the lyrics to the songs you will be singing in your leavers' concert. Could you please make sure you learn the words (although you know most of them well already) by Friday. Could you also make sure you bring your costume by Friday as we will have a dress rehearsal in groups then.


The Year 6 Leavers’ Musical…

We believe you can fly:

Rebecca: I used to think that I could not belong
Jovian: Year 3 was nothing but a scary song
Rebecca: But I should learn to accept that maybe
Jovian: There is a great life for me at Crabtree

Rebecca: If I can see it then I can do it
Jovian: If I believe it, there's nothing to it


Whole year

We believe You can fly
We believe You can touch the sky
Think about it every night and day
Spread your wings and fly away
We believe you can soar
We  see you running through that open door
WE believe you can fly, we believe you can fly
we believe you can fly

Rebbeca: You guys are right life could be so much worse!
Imagine, in my sister’s class, I’d burst!
Jovian: Plus now I get to have brilliant PE lessons
I really can’t wait to start Year 3 at Crabtree!

Rebecca: If I can see it then I can do it
Jovian: If I believe it, there's nothing to it

 Whole year

We believe you can fly
We believe you can touch the sky
we think about it every night and day
Spread you wings and fly away
We believe you can soar
We  see you running through that open door
WE believe you can fly, we believe you can fly
we believe we can fly

Another Year bites the dust:

Macy: We both walked down the corridor
Hugh: The last day of Year 4
Macy:  Ain't no way of describing this
Hugh: All we do is grow

Lauren: Were you ready,
Lauren: Were you ready for this?
Elliot: Were you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Did you realise that  this year would go
As fast as the sound of this beat?

Whole Year group:
Another year bites the dust
Another year bites the dust
And another year gone, and another year gone
Another year bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another year bites the dust

Macy:


First it was the very big clothes  the veryvery big playground
Very big scary year 6s,  gigantic Mr Pattrick

Hugh:

Do you remember how tiddly I was
And how mighty I’ve become
That’s right Year 4 is over
And Year 5 has begun!

Whole Year Group:

Another year bites the dust
Another year bites the dust
And another year gone, and another year gone
Another year bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another year bites the dust

Don’t stop me now:

This year I’ve really enjoyed myself as a Year 5
I feel alive…
And the year has nearly burnt itself out
I’ve still got all that youthful energy
So don’t stop me now don’t stop me
cause I’m having a good time, having a good time

I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky
And absorbing every fact and every happening
I’m a racing car passing by like thunder and lightning
Watch it, watch it Year Six
There’s no stopping me

I’m burning through the sky, see!
With hundreds of days
Of more learning opportunities
I’m travelling at the speed of light
School really makes a supersonic kid out of you

Don’t stop me now I’m having such a good time
I’m having a ball don’t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time, like me, just stay on
Don’t stop me now
Don’t stop me now
I don’t want to stop at all

I’m a rocket ship with left-over fuel
I’m raring to go, so let’s get Ready Steady Go
Are we ready for those dreaded SATs, oh yeah!
I’m going, going, going, going to explode!

I’m burning through the sky, see!
With hundreds of days
Of more learning opportunities
I’m traveling at the speed of light
School really makes a supersonic kid out of you!

Don’t stop me don’t stop me
Don’t stop me hey hey !
Don’t stop me don’t stop me ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don’t stop me don’t stop me
Have a good time good time
Don’t stop me don’t stop me ah

Fade in….


Moves like Miss T

Just aim for the stars
That’s what you say
And you won our hearts
So we’ll obey

Year after year
Day after day
We’ve caught your fair play

You gave us control
And inspired us
You put on a show

And surprised us
Of what we could do
Always something new
We are your crew
And it goes like this



[Chorus:]
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you

We can move like Miss T
We can run like Miss T
We can jump like Miss T and We love sports like Miss T

Miss Thomas
We want to thank you
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you

We can move like Miss T
We can run like Miss T
We can jump like Miss T and We love sports like Miss T

[Verse 2:]

We’re caught off guard
When we feel like we’re working too  hard
Nothing feels right
When we’ve got PE
I'll make us agree
That we've got the key

You gave us control
And inspired us
You put on a show
And surprised us

Of what we could do
Always something new
We are your crew
And it goes like this (Uh)

[Chorus:]
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you

We can move like Miss T
We can run like Miss T
We can jump like Miss T and We love sports like Miss T

Miss Thomas
We want to thank you
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you

We can move like Miss T
We can run like Miss T
We can jump like Miss T and We love sports like Miss T

[Bridge:]

You always know how to make us smile
You always teach us with a great style
And you include us all
So we always give our all
Everybody can see this

So we watch and learn
You dont show us twice
Head to toe, we do it right
And if you share your secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)

 And it goes like this

[Chorus:]

Miss Thomas
We want to thank you
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you

We can move like Miss T
We can run like Miss T
We can jump like Miss T and We love sports like Miss T

Miss Thomas
We want to thank you
Miss Thomas
We want to thank you

We can move like Miss T
We can run like Miss T
We can jump like Miss T and We love sports like Miss T


Tiny Tiddlers:



We used to be tiny tiddlers in the Nursery
Little tiny, tender tiddlers, only three
“I was very hard to spot”
“I was such a tiny tot!
Tiddlers in the Nursery, that’s what we used to be!

We used to be tiny tiddlers in the Nursery
Little tiny, tender tiddlers, only three
“Little tables, little chair”
“Little puddles every where….
Tiddlers in the Nursery, that’s what we used to be!
 
We used to be tiny tiddlers in the Nursery
Little tiny, tender tiddlers, only three
“Couldn’t read and couldn’t write”
“Couldn’t do our laces tight”
Tiddlers in the Nursery, that’s what we used to be!

We used to be tiny tiddlers in the Nursery
Little tiny, tender tiddlers, only three
“Couldn’t swim, and couldn’t sing”
“Couldn’t do most anything”
Tiddlers in the Nursery, that’s what we used to be!

We used to be tiny tiddlers in the Nursery
Little tiny, tender tiddlers, only three
“Didn’t know my two times two”
“Had to use a little loo”
Tiddlers in the Nursery, that’s what we used to be!

No longer are we tiddlers in the Nursery!
Seven years later, oh how cool it is to be, at the
Top of the school and nearly eleven
Soon we’re gonna be in Year Seven
And little tiddlers once again is what we’re going to be!!!
