St Anne's Catholic Primary School

Next Thursday 14th May is 'Uniform day' to raise money for the NHS. We usually have non-uniform days, however as everyday is non-uniform at the moment, we are having a 'Uniform day'. You just need to wear your uniform on Thursday 14th May and send me a picture of you in uniform, then if you can, ask your parents to go on the NHS fundraising website (link below) and donate to help our county's wonderful NHS carers.

This is Lizzie's herd of 'isolation elephants'. She's made them from recycled milk bottles, I thought you'd like to see them. If you have anything you'd like to share, let me know on Google Classroom.

Dear God,

At this time in hardship, I thank you for being with me every step of the way. I pray that you guide me making decisions, whether small or big, so they can be the right choices. Give me wisdom to be a righteous person like Our Messiah and let me be true to myself. It  may be hard but I am certain that I can get through them with you by my side. This prayer goes through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen

By Marwa.

Sapphi has written a lovely prayer, during this difficult time, that I wanted to share with you. 

These are really unusual and challenging times. Google classroom is proving an effective way of keeping in contact with each other, please keep it up!

Every weekday there will be Maths, Literacy and Reading set as well as RE and other subjects during the week. Please try to work on these and turn them in, if you are having trouble you can message on Google classroom.

As part of our class Lenten promises to Give, Fast and Pray, Year 6 have decided to raise money to buy a World Gift from CAFOD. At the moment, bees, bed nets and birth certificates are the top gifts the class would like to buy for those who are less fortunate than us. Your children might ask you for a few coins to donate during lent, we will make a decision on what to buy, based on how much we have raised. Thank you in advance for your support. If you would like to check out the possible World Gifts, here is the website address https://worldgifts.cafod.org.uk/

CAFOD World Gifts

Year Six have raised a total of £36.24 for CAFOD World Gifts, I will post on Google Classroom with ideas for what you would like to spend the money on.

Year 6 had a great day at the Living Rain Forest. Seeing all the amazing plants and creatures that live in the Amazon was fantastic and we all learnt so much (adults included!). 

We are very proud of the class, several visitors to the centre and members of the staff commented on the brilliant behaviour, general conduct and lovely manners of our children. Well done Year 6, you should be very proud of yourselves!

Congratulations to all of Year 6 for their incredibly hard work this term, they all deserve a restful Christmas break!

The class have been creating cross stitch Christmas decorations and cards over the last couple of weeks, they are lovely and the children have brought them home today.

Thank you for all your support and kind words in 2019 as well as very generous and thoughful gifts, it is very much appreciated! I am looking forward to seeing you all in 2020, have a lovely Christmas!

This week Year 6 have made salt dough Bambinelli's. Ask your children why they have made them for this week.

Our New School leaders have been appointed!

The Year 6 leaders are:

Isabella, Izaac and Aleka - Sports Leaders

Lianna and Sapphi - Reading Leaders

Lola, Lizzie and Julia - Music Leaders
