<p class="ocular-col ocular-font">From Monday, Year 6&#39;s&nbsp;will be permitted to wear their Leavers Hoodies over their school uniform.&nbsp; We are looking forward to our last church assembly on Monday and will be spending next week perfecting our play performance and preparing for our Leavers Assembly.&nbsp; More information will come next week regarding shirt signing and arrangements for their final day at school.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="ocular-col ocular-font">We look forward to seeing them all at the Leavers Party which takes place tonight at school from 5-6.30pm.</p>

	<link>https://www.buckdenacademy.org/blog/?pid=93&amp;nid=94&amp;storyid=2639</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p class="ocular-col ocular-font">This week, many of our Year 6 children experienced taster days at Hinchingbrooke.&nbsp; It was wonderful to hear about what they had been getting up to in their new form groups, their experiences of travelling on the bus, what tasty food there was to buy in the food court and the new friendships they had made.</p>

<p class="ocular-col ocular-font">This week, there is no&nbsp;homework set on SATs Companion. Instead, for those moving to Hinchingbrooke in September, please start to create your shoe box (containing items which represent yourself) which you will be taking with you in your first few days in September.&nbsp; Please also find attached the &#39;Get Ahead&#39; Booklet which details work for you to do over the summer.&nbsp; We suggest you spread this work out, and this week, why not complete the English&nbsp;tasks ready to hand to your new teacher in September.&nbsp; For those children not attending Hinchingbrooke School, please complete any transition work you may have been given and continue to read for 20 minutes each day.</p>

	<link>https://www.buckdenacademy.org/blog/?pid=93&amp;nid=94&amp;storyid=2631</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>There will no longer be any tasks set for you on SATs Companion.&nbsp; Instead, please ensure you know all your play lines (we have several children who do not know their lines!) and words to all the songs.&nbsp; We have attached the backing tracks for you below so you can practise.</p>

<p>Remember to watch Newsround and be ready to write about a news story that has interested you on Monday morning.&nbsp; Our spellings for this week are:&nbsp; delighted, despondent, incensed, apprehensive, jittery, optimistic, sanguine, euphoric, terrified, positive.</p>

<p>On Monday we will be going on a Geography walk around the village.&nbsp; Make sure you bring a small drawstring bag with you which can contain a filled water bottle and a&nbsp;fruit/vegetable snack - we can have this whilst on our walk.&nbsp; If the weather is warm, please ensure you have a hat with you too.</p>

<p>Have a lovely weekend.</p>
