If you are unwell with Covid symptoms or are self isolating, check the isolation work section on the website for Year 6 work.

Year 6 have been working really hard this week on their SATs tests. 

During the week they have completed the following tests: 3 x maths papers, 1 x reading paper, 1 x SPaG paper, 1 x spelling paper. I am very proud of how they have worked during this week and will let them know their results shortly.

This afternoon Year 6 had a visit from Paul Hannaford, a drug awareness worker.

He sent a hard hitting message - about gangs, drugs and knife crime - to the children in a way that they could understand. 

His talk will be beneficial to the whole class as they progress on to secondary school and a more independent life.

During this term we are continuing our work based on The Explorer by Katherine Rundell. The children have written survival guides for The Amazon Rainforest and following our trip to Bear Dog Outdoor in Woodcote, the children wrote survival guides for the forest. Do you know how to survive in a forest environment? Ask the children - they know! 

Year six were fantastic during Deacon Owen's visit. He came to talk to the children about vocations, focusing on all of the wonderful talents and how the Holy Spirit will guide and support them throughout their lives. 

Some of the children even tried out the clothes of a Sister, Priest and Deacon.

Summer 1

We had an amazing day building camp, setting fires, cooking lunch and completing tasks. All the children loved meeting Ruth and Jed, who know everything there is to know about surviving in extreme environments. We have since had emails from Ruth, answering questions that the children had put to them during the day.

Spring 2

Our book this term is The Explorer by Katherine Rundell.

This week the children have read the first 2 chapters and found out about our four main characters; Fred, Con, Lila and her little brother Max. They ended the week writing Fred's diary entry after his first day crash-landed in the Amazon RainForest. 

This term in RE we are looking at prayer in the lives of God's followers. 

Have you thought what you would praise God for today? Year 6 have and here are some of their beautiful, thoughtful prayers.

'Big Questions'.

Have you considered what it is to be individual? Who needs healing? Or maybe, what heaven is like? How do you know Gof loves you? These are questions Year 6 have been thinking about.

What image would you create to show we are waiting for he birth of Jesus and preparing for his second coming? This was Bella's.

Bella, Khyra and Antonio are this year's Sports Leaders

Roosevelt, Ziggy and Isabella are this year's One World Council Leaders

Year 6 have been working hard as a team - filling their pompom jar. As a result, they have earned a treat afternoon. On Friday 23rd October, we have planned for Year 6 to watch the film Holes (based on the book we have been reading), they will also have treats and drinks. If you have any questions about the afternoon's activities, please do contact me.

Year 6 can bring their own clothes to change into for the afternoon.

Year 6 were lucky enough to have a visit from Prison officers from HMP Huntercombe. They discussed modern day crime and punishment, relating it to punishments in the past. The children really enjoyed the afternoon of information and questioning of our guests. 

Today's worship encouraged the children to think how they know God loves them. Their thoughts are very touching!

Peace in class comes when we listen to 'Hail Mary'. The children are learning the actions to this beautiful Hymn
