Harvey is now a year 6 and he's a favourite with his teacher and he's a busy little bee lately.
In July he visited another primary school to attend an e-safety ambassador day. He was one of five children from his class invited to be trained in e-safety.
Teachers from the primary school lead the children in making e-safety cartoons and helping the children learn about e-safety.
The five children would then be ready to give talks and advise children and teachers in their school when they went in to year 6. They also have their own page on the school website.
Harvey also has a reception class buddy. The primary school has a system that pairs a year 6 child with a reception age child to help them get to know the school and gives them an older friend to help them with problems or to just play with at play time. Harvey's buddy is Gwen which we were all surprised about and they are loving being paired up.
Harvey has also been picked to operate the sound system and projector in the school hall during assemblies with one other child from his class.
On September 11th and 12th Harvey took his Kent Test. It's a test taken by year 6 pupils in Kent to see if they can enter grammar schools in the area. Cerys took these in year 6 but didn't pass them. If Harvey passes it opens up our school choices for him but we have told him that we won't be disappointed if he doesn't pass. We find out October 16th at 4pm via email if he has passed and then we can get his secondary school application filled in before the deadline of October 31st.
Another job that Harvey has is to order stock for the Fair Trade tuck shop the school holds every Friday at 10:45am. They order the items via a website and Harvey had his first try last Friday.
