Harvest is a time of thanksgiving and gratitude; to thank God for the things we have and all that God has given to us. Our liturgies this week have been centred around this and our RE this week looked also at the smallest seed- the mustard seed. Year 6 have been reflecting on the parables that Jesus shared with us that taught us about the Kingdom of God and how this can start off so small within us, but as we love and follow in Jesus’ footsteps this can grown in to something more powerful.
Our Children’s Liturgy was all about Justice and praying for those people around the world that are faced with injustice- thank you boys for another moving worship…
I can’t believe we have come to the end of our first half term in Year 6! It has gone by so quick, but what a start Year 6 have made. They have all grown so much in the last few weeks, developing their independence and reflecting on the areas they know they need to work on- we couldn’t be more prouder of them. Make sure they get lots of rest this short break, so that they are ready and raring to go for another busy, run-up to Christmas. It has been so lovely to talk to you all at the parent’s meetings, celebrating the successes of each one of them. I hope you also enjoyed sharing your children’s books, where I am sure you can see how hard they are all working and how much pride they take in their work.
We have now read up to chapter 10 of our class novel and it has definitely left us wanting more- I can’t wait to read more when we get back and find out just what Daniel’s next test will be! We have looked closer in to the characters, finding evidence from the book as to whether they are good or evil and have even wrote a diary entry as the main character. In Maths we are continuing with our ‘redistribution’ strategy, compensating numbers to make tricky calculations easier to manage! In History, we looked closely as to why Henry broke away from the Catholic church, doing a spot of drama, advising him, to help him make his decision. What a busy week…
Year 6 had a great time back in year 5 with Mr Cornwell for enrichment! The children spent an hour playing card games and having great fun, as you can see from the photos …
We also had a very special visit from the police to talk about Halloween and Bonfire night safety …
Bikeability is the first Friday back after half term (7th November) and the following Friday, so please remember to bring your bikes and helmets, unless you stated on the online form that you need to borrow and bike. Please come in at usual time and leave the bikes in the bike rack, with helmets attached. PE kits need to be worn this day, raincoat and bottles of water please. On the Friday children complete level 1, this assesses the child’s competence on a bike and whether they are safe enough to progress to level 2 the following week, where it will be on the road around the school. The isntructors will not pass any child that they feel would be a danger to themselves or others, so as well as their bike skills they will also be monitoring the children’s listening skills. We will find out on the Firday who has passed to move on to the next level the following week.
Notices
Make sure all children read over half term please to keep that fluency going!
Biekability (7th and 14th November)
