Another week has flown by in Year 6. On Monday, we welcomed back Sensei Michael and took part in a karate lesson. On Tuesday we joined with many parishioners for the 10am mass on the feast day of St. John Chrysostom.  Fr Shaun spoke to the children in his homily about their role as Year 6 children and developing their leadership skills in the year ahead.

In English this week, we continued our theme of leadership and the children began writing speeches to apply for their chosen role. We will finish them off and record them next week. A lot of thought has been given by the children towards this work in class and many children produced speeches (as part of their home learning) to say in their house team meetings today.  On Wednesday the class attended their first swimming session which they enjoyed. On Thursday, the class took part in an online road safety lesson. The children greatly impressed the leader of the session with their knowledge. They also learnt some new facts about stopping distance and booster seat laws.

This afternoon, we spent time talking about the queen and the events that are taking place at the moment and over this coming bank holiday weekend.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful long weekend.

Year 3 have settled well to their new class and have worked very hard this week. We started our new year with a Liturgy for the new school year. The children shared their fears and hopes for the year. The children thought of ways they could walk with Jesus this year and added their footprint to the display in the hall.

In English, we have been reading Fables and identifying the morals in different fables. The children have been learning the features of a fable to support them when planning and writing their own fable.

In Maths, we have been making, drawing and partitioning 3 digit numbers. They have been learning about the importance of 0 as a place holder. Please practise reading 3 digit numbers.

Lorcan, our new Seminarian visited us on Thursday and the children asked him some fantastic questions to get to know him.

In Religion, we reflected on how we can live out the Mission Prayer in our lives. We began the Year of Pilgrimage by looking at different locations where Christians go on pilgrimage and why some places are special to Christians. Speak to family members who have been on a pilgrimage.

In Geography, we read thermometers to learn about the different climates in the world.

Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday. Children must wear their PE kits on those days.

Home Learning

The children’s passwords and user names are at the front of the children’s reading records. Please do not log on to  read theory until we have completed the assessments.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome to Year 2

The children have had a lovely start to the new school year and were excited to share all their holiday news. They learnt about The Year of Pilgrimage in assembly and wrote what they can do to grow closer to God on footsteps, which are displayed in the hall.

In class Year 2 took part in collective worship and decorated their prayer table  and board to reflect the start of the year. They also learnt what a pilgrimage is and why people go on them.

In Maths the children have been revising number bonds and making numbers to 20 using doubles.
