Year 6 Weekly Blog 'It's the Final Countdown!'

Not long now until ‘PETER PAN’- we can’t wait for you to see it …

It has been another busy week next week, with the play. Most of you have ordered and received your tickets now. The show starts at 6:00pm and will be approximately 2 hours long. The children need to arrive at school at 5:30pm, to get changed in to their costumes. They all look fabulous in their outfits, thank you so much for making such effort. Here is a sneaky peak at rehearsals …


On the last day (Friday) we thought it would be lovely if the Year 6 got a warm and loving send off from the rest of the school. The children in year 6 will be sent out at the later time of 2:10pm, to give the whole school an opportunity to say their goodbyes and to take any pictures that you may want to take of their final day at Primary School.

We are all looking forward to the leaver’s day out next THURSDAY! It is imperative that all children MUST have a bag with them, containing plenty of fluids, a snack, hat and sun-cream/ waterproof coat dependent on the weather. We will be out ALL day, come rain or shine, so haven’t the right things is so vital! They are able to wear their own clothes on this day, leavers hoodies might be nice for pictures? Sensible shoes for walking must also be worn, as we are doing ALOT of walking! The PTFA are kindly paying for the cost of the golf and a very special thank you goes to Mr Hughes for providing the fish and chips, we really appreciate it!

Reports have come home today with the children, I hope you enjoy reading and reflecting on them, they have so much to celebrate from their time at Our Lady’s but like everyone, always something to take away and learn from. The most important part of your child’s report, is the one written by us, as their teacher. We celebrate the WHOLE child, not just their performance on one day, so please let this be your focus and not the SAT’s results. SAT’s results are in the pack, so please have a good look at them along with the explanation- the standardized score on reaching expected for all papers was 100 and for Greater Depth is 110. Remember, results from a test never define you as a person, just look at what they have all achieved this year- there is so much to celebrate and be proud of!


Well done to Poppy and Leo

Love and Compassionate Stars

This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that stop and notice how others are experiencing their lives, and how they feel, and why they say and believe what they do.  Ultimately, it is what makes us kind and, at a deeper level, opens up the possibility of being loving through our just and merciful actions and forgiving words. This week we thank Archie for always being compassionate and loving with others.

This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:

Michael Erin Millie Cora
