“Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Jesus tells us, “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” In this week’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that we do not have to carry our worries, fears, or problems alone. When life feels difficult, we can turn to Him in prayer and trust that He will help us. This message teaches us that God's love brings peace, comfort, and strength, helping us to care for others with kindness and compassion too. This lead on beautifully around the children’s feelings towards transtion and the discussion point: what are some worries or challenges that we can bring to Jesus and ask Him to help us with?
What a busy week we have had in Year 6. We’ve managed to keep all of our learning going whilst finally nearly finishing our play! Next week we will be running all the way through, making small changes and improving what we have done- maybe even adding a dance in! There are still some children not fully familiar with their lines, please spend time this weekend going over their parts, making sure they know all their lines off by heart with the right expression. They have had their scripts for 6 weeks now and there is only one week to go! Don’t forget tickets are on sale, so please make sure you purchase to avoid disappointment.
This week we have continued our World Cup project work booking holidays to our destinations, researching the football players and learning about their culture and tradtions in more detail! Our transition learning continues and on top of this transition preparation, all children have now been for a visit to their new high school and all have come back positive, looking forward to their new chapter, with of course some nerves. We have spoken in class about these feelings and how we need to share them with the people around us. We will of course, be discussing this in more detail over the next two weeks…
SAT’s Results …
We would like to inform you that Year 6 reports will be sent home on Monday 13th July. These reports celebrate each child’s achievements, progress, and contribution to school life throughout the year.
Unfortunately, the organisation responsible for administering and processing the Key Stage 2 SATs has experienced a technical issue, resulting in a delay to the release of results. As a result, Year 6 SATs results will not be available until Thursday 16th July and will therefore be issued separately from the annual reports, unlike previous years. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Leavers Day
As we approach the final two weeks of the school year, the celebration of our Year 6 children is at the forefront of our minds. Over the past 7 years, the children have grown into young people who are ready to fly. Young people who know how to be the change that they want to see in the world. They could not have achieved this without the love and support that they received from their school community, and more importantly, their family. For this we thank you.
On Wednesday 15th July, the whole school community will come together at the Leavers Mass to celebrate the class and their journey through primary school. This will take place at 9.30am in church.
The following day, we will be going out for the day for part two of the celebrations! They will be walking down, along the beach, to Fairhaven Adventure Golf and Adventure Playground, where we will stay and have lunch and games for the afternoon. We will then head back to school for the end of the day.
Details and payments for this day out will be given out to you next week and we will finalise arrangements-what your children needs to wear and bring with them on the day.
Delving deeper through talk …
What are you most looking forward to as you move on to high school?
How do you feel about moving on to high school?
Well done to Isioma!
Isioma, you have demonstrated remarkable courage, maturity, and resilience this week! Isioma has faced challenges with such grace and strength, showing excellent character and serving as a positive role model for others. Her determination and perseverance in her learning are equally impressive, as she consistently approaches her work with a positive attitude and a commitment to doing her very best. We are incredibly proud of her strength, resilience, and outstanding example to our school community.
Curious and Active Stars
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children who are active by taking part wholeheartedly, helping others, and using their talents to make a positive difference, just as Jesus showed love through his actions. We will also be looking for the children who are curious by asking questions, exploring new ideas, and seeking to understand the world around them, following Jesus who taught through wonder, stories, and discovery. These children live out these virtues with Jesus at the centre, letting his example inspire both their curiosity and their actions each day. This week we thank Louis for always being active and curious.
