Year 6 News

The theme of this year’s Youth Festival was “bold and brave” and was perfect as the messages really related to the children as they are going to be bold and brave as they move onto secondary school. There was lots of singing and dancing (photographs are hard to get when they were having so much fun) After completing some activities …

Weather was in our favour on our last 2 days down the Marina with Adventure Access. Paddle boarding

Year 6 had great fun on the water canoeing, playing games and the thing they wanted to do the most in the heat – jump in!

Year 6 really enjoyed ending their Friday afternoon with a glow party with Sophie from the sports partnership.  

Year 6 enjoyed their second lesson of our raising aspirations programme all about skills.

Then they applied their own skills to designing a game for their friends to play. Next week … CV writing!

Year 6 enjoyed their first Raising Aspirations lesson which focused on qualities.

On this they wrote down 3 qualities they feel like they have …

Y6 enjoyed delivering their Liturgical Prayer in the prayer garden today around the theme of “Christian acts of kindness.” The group of Y6 pupils planned, resourced and delivered it wonderfully in our prayer garden this afternoon with lots of opportunity for quiet reflection. We used our hands to think of people we are friends with, who we love, someone who loves …

Year 6 enjoyed a visit from one of our governors today, Mrs Bell,  who took us over to church and talked us through the stations of the cross. At each one we stopped, listened to the story, reflected, prayed and as we moved between stations said a prayer each time. Back in class we thought about the acts of kindness …
