As we move towards the third week of advent, it seems unbelievable that we have nearly completed our first full term together in Year 6. As I reflect on how much the children have grown, learnt and enjoyed every experience in Year 6, it seems only fitting that the third candle of advent represents JOY. It reflects the joy that comes through Jesus’ arrival, and through the salvation he has gifted us and as we continue to approach Christmas Day, our joy grows more and more.
Thank you to the following children for such a beautiful liturgy this week...
We have also met with our Reception buddies this week, where half the class took their partners around the school for the prayer pilgrimage, following a prayer map. The children went to each station, where they focused on each stations key message during advent. It was a beautiful and reflective afternoon, where the children got to listen to prayer and scripture…
This week we have had a wonderful week of learning and practice for our Chrsitmas concert next week. The children are speaking out beautifully in church and singing their hearts out- we can’t wait for you to see it.
This week we have started to look at biographies in English and pull out its features. We have collected biographical language, looked up any unfamiliar words and looked at the importance of using choronology. In Science, we have been looking at the circulatory system and the main components that move the blood around the body. What a busy week of learning …
Christmas Bake Off…
Wow what an amazing selection of cakes, brownies and cookies! So much effort has gone in to each and every one of them and they look FABULOUS, never mind taste FABULOUS!! Thank you to all the effort you have gone to, to make our ‘Bake Off’ extra special! The judges found it incredibly hard to decide on the winner, look how tasty they all look …
Well done to our ‘Bake off’ winner! Yummy brownies that tasted divine!!
Leading Learners
Well done to William this week.
William, you work tirelessly in lessons to be the best you can be and we love teaching you as you are always so focused and engaged. Your reflective attitude towards your learning has really improved and helps you to take your learning that step further.
Faithfilled and Hopeful Stars
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intention in their actions. Children who show great faith in themselves, others and God. We will also be spotting children who are hopeful, who show hope for the future, enabling us to trust ourselves and those around us with the decisions that will shape our future. These children are the role models of the school. This week we thank Matilda for being faithfilled and hopeful.
Helpers in the mornings:
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:

We are out and about a lot next week, walking to church. Please could you make sure children have a warm coat and hat each day to keep warm.
We have decided as a school not to send individual Christmas cards to each other, but to instead put this money towards a chairty of your choice. Children can if they wish, write one card for the whole class.
