Year 6 – 06/05/22

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today, Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May!

This morning, to mark the beginning of May the month of Mary, the whole school came together to honour Our Lady by bringing her flowers. The Liturgy Leaders led us in prayer in the hall, and then Joseph and Nichola – the eldest boy and girl in the school – led the rest of the school in procession to the statue of Mary in the Peace Garden.

As I said this afternoon in class, please don’t stress about next week’s SATs; you have worked so hard and should be proud of yourselves regardless of what happens in the tests.

SATs don’t measure sports; SATs don’t measure art.

SATs don’t measure music, or the kindness in your heart.

SATs don’t see your beauty; SATs don’t know your worth.

SATs don’t see the reasons you were put upon this earth.

SATs don’t see your magic – how you make others smile.

SATs don’t time how quickly you can run a mile.

SATs don’t hear your laughter, or see you’ve come this far,

SATs are just a tiny glimpse of who you really are.

So sitting at your table with a pencil and your test,

Remember SATs aren’t who you are; you can only try your best.

For those that wanted to polish up on a certain skill, then this website is good, but I advise you to do something fun and get out in the sun this weekend!
