Year 6 Leavers Events
Wensum Junior School Year 6 - End of Year Events – this info has been sent to parents to complete via Forms
Gressenhall Trip 6M Tuesday 3rd June 6P Wednesday 4th June
We have a great opportunity for our Year 6 children to deepen their knowledge of World War 2 life by visiting Gressenhall for an immersive and fun day, reenacting the WW2 timeline. There will be plenty of opportunity for the children to build their knowledge of past events with the expectation that they will be able to enhance their topical writing sessions once back at school.
The cost of this trip is £17. We are asking for parent contributions of £10 and the PTFA are kindly donating the remaining amount. This a voluntary contribution. No pupil will be excluded if parents are unable to make the donation. However, without sufficient contributions the trip may not be able to take place.
Children will need to come in school uniform and bring a packed lunch. If you would like to order a lunch for your child, please make sure you do so via the Pantry.
The children will travel by coach with Wensum Junior school staff. Any questions please talk to your class teacher.
Year 6 presents 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' - Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd July
As part of celebrating their time at Wensum Junior school, the year 6 children will be coming together to perform the all-time favourite, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.
The children will be taking part in creating props, adapting scripts and selecting music to support the rehearsals for the show.
There will be on and off stage roles available, so that every child can feel included in a way which makes them comfortable.
If anyone can help by donating any 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory' costumes or props / craft items for props - they would be gratefully received!
Children with speaking parts will need to ensure regular practice to aid smooth rehearsals.
We will be running two performances - Wednesday 2nd July - 1.30pm this has now been changed to Wednesday 25th June at 1.30pm
and Thursday 3rd July - 9.30am this has now been changed to Thursday 26th June 9.30am
The children will perform at the Alive Church on Nelson Street. Children will be escorted by Wensum Junior staff to and from the church. We would love for families to come and watch our performance, a maximum of four tickets per family. Please select which performance you would like to attend and how many for each performance. You are welcome to attend both performances as long as no more than 4 tickets are booked altogether.
Donations for the church will be collected at each performance, so please donate if you can.
Year 6 Tubing trip - Tuesday 15th July

This will be a whole day out (within school time) on Tuesday 15th July and the activities include an hour Tubing experience on the slopes, outside sporting activities such as football and some time to enjoy a picnic in the sun!
The cost of the trip is £17. We are asking for parent contributions of £12, with the PTFA kindly donating the remaining cost. Please could parents make payment on the school money app.
Children will need to bring a packed lunch or order a lunch on the Pantry Website.

Due to the safety requirements of the Tubing experience, all children will need to wear trainers, comfortable clothes with a long sleeved top and trousers and also bring a pair of gloves.
Leavers Assembly and Picnic - Monday 21st July
We would like to invite our Year 6 parents to our leaver’s picnic on Monday 21st July at 12pm. This will be followed by a leavers assembly.
This will give everyone a chance to say goodbye and give us a chance to give certificates and celebrate.
We would like families to come and join us. Please come with a picnic and something to sit on. There is limited shade on the field so please bring shade if you would like it.
