Year 6 Leaver’s Ball - 22nd July 2010

Our Y6 pupils donned suits and ball gowns for their final event at SJS – their Leaver’s Ball. A good time was had by all, as they chatted, danced and shared memories of the last four years.

Thank you to Mr Talbot and Miss McCullagh who came back for the occasion and provided us with photographic memories of our pupils which caused great hilarity.

There were prizes for the best dressed boy and girl – well done to Alex McBride and Georgia Walklate.

Throughout the evening nominations were made for Prom King and Queen. Votes were counted and Chelsea Smith and Martin Moss were crowned.

Our thanks go to everyone who helped to make the evening a success - pupils, parents, our message board technicians, DJ Lee and our caretaker Mr Taylor.

Leavers Ball - Thursday 16th July 2009

The rain did not dampen our spirit as we held our annual Leaver's Ball for Y6 pupils. Limousines, Harley Davisons and a helicopter were just some of the unusual modes of transport used.

Pupils excitedly greeted friends and admired each other's outfits. Thomas Casson was judged best dressed boy, and Chloe Rowley was best dressed girl.

There were roars of laughter as Mr Talbot and Miss McCullagh showed photos of our current Y6 pupils as they were at the start of Y3. How they've changed!

Voting slips were counted, and the Prom King and Queen were crowned. Congratulations to Callum Jones and Megan Brocklehurst.

Well done Y6 - you all looked absolutely fabulous, and you made it a great evening.

Leavers Concert - Tuesday 14th July 2009

'Do You Remember?' - a wonderfully reminiscent look at school life. Great acting, clear voices and heart-warming songs. Despite the difficulties caused by an outbreak of swine flu the previous week Year 6 pulled out all the stops and put on a fantastic show. Well done Year 6 - you did us proud.

1940’s day – Y6 – 11^th November 2008

Y6 pupils went back in time recently, to the 1940’s, and spent a day experiencing life as an evacuee. They arrived at school clutching their gas mask boxes and suitcases, to be greeted by staff dressed as Land Army girls and 1940’s ladies.

Throughout the day, pupils had the opportunity to try their hand at cooking on rations – pigeon pate, leek soup and plaited bread were all sampled with great delight.

They also learnt how to ‘make do and mend’, darning socks and sewing peg bags, and took part in country dancing.

At the end of the day, the evacuees were put into groups and given the task of creating a scarecrow out of old clothes, broom handles and straw. Great fun was had by all!

The Mystical Crystal By Obriel Nyambayo - 6CS

Worryingly, the appearance of a mortified unicorn arose within the thickest of all fogs. As the outline of a muscular figure strengthened, the background was congested with hurtful cries. Immediately, concerned witnesses ran to be of assistance as the continuous cries hung in the air. Echoes seemed all around, but nobody was to be seen? SILENCE was heard for some baffling moments.

Suddenly, the tone of an enlarging cackle of evilness was heard as the fog became as thin as a sheet of crystal-white paper. Instantly, the staggering unicorn became a frightening wizard.

“Come forth my minions,” bellowed the demanding magician of darkness. With an immediate reaction, the minions held two emerald-green crystals thought to have been stored secretly in the ultimately securest of chests…

Y6 Leaver’s Ball – 17^th July 2008

The air was full of excitement and laughter on 17^th July, as Y6 pupils arrived for their Leaver’s Ball. They looked absolutely stunning in their suits and ball gowns, and very grown up!

Pupils were soon on the dance floor, dancing with staff and chatting with friends, while sipping cocktails.

Half way through the evening, staff judged a competition to find the best dressed boy and girl. Prizes were awarded to Mason Moss and Louise Plunkett.

The karaoke was as popular as ever, with our DJ being inundated with requests. Several budding popstars took to the stage to sing along to their favourite hits.

Throughout the evening, pupils had the opportunity to vote for Prom King and Queen. Votes were counted, and the winners announced. Bethany Heath was crowned Queen and Sam Joyner was King.

The evening ended with a photo of the whole year group – the Class of 2008.

Our thanks go to the following people, for helping to make the evening such a success –

Mr Frank Miller – our DJ
Mr Simon Talbot – for manning the message board
Mrs Rachel Ellis, Mrs Lynn Lees & Mrs Emma Bayliss – for providing refreshments
Parents – for helping to supervise pupils
Staff – for decorating the hall so beautifully
Mr Selby – for the lovely professional photos
Mrs Jerrams – for making sure our school was secure after the event
Y6 pupils – for your impeccable behaviour and courtesy, and for putting so much thought into your outfits – you looked wonderful.

Well done Y6 – you did us proud!

“Cool!”
“Stockingford is great”

“Wicked teachers. Had a great time”
“I love this school. It’s been fun”

“I’ve made great friends here”
“This school is wicked!”
“Wow! What a time here”
“To all staff – thanks for being there for me. Love you lots”
“I have really enjoyed my time at SJS. I don’t want to leave”
“It has been great and I never want to leave but I have to. I’ll miss everyone”
“SJS rocks!”
“Love to all the teachers”
“School has been fab. I’ll miss all the teachers”
“My time here has been GREAT! I will miss you all. I won’t forget Caramel, 6CS’s class hamster. I will miss you SJS”

Y6 Leavers Concert – School Daze - 15th July 2008

On 15^th July Y6 wowed the audience with an absolutely fantastic production of ‘School Daze.’

Set in the future, it looked back on school as we know it now, showing a humorous approach to such things as Sats, head lice and the joys of growing up!

The concert ended with a medley of songs by Abba.

Well done Y6 – to the actors and actresses, to the sound technicians and musicians, to the pupils who sang their hearts out, and to all the staff involved in organising the production.
