Year 6 – 04/02/22

On Wednesday, we celebrated Candlemas, an important feast day in our Church’s calendar when we remember the wonderful story of when Jesus was presented in the Temple of Jerusalem, 40 days after he was born, and an old man Simeon – who had been waiting for the coming of the Messiah all his life – proclaimed that Jesus would be a light for all to see. In Year 6, we reflected on what it means to be a light for others, then made these beautiful candle paintings, with their ideas about light around the edge.

Platinum Jubilee Learning On Sunday, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking an amazing 70-year reign. To learn more about this, you are asked to carry out research to answer the following questions:

·         Who is our Queen?

·         What is the role of our Queen?

·         What is a Jubilee?

Be as creative as you like when presenting your research (make a poster, create a booklet, do some writing, make a film, write a song…) and have fun learning about this unprecedented moment in British history.
