Kindness doesn’t cost anything, it is something that we can all give and it makes our world a better place. This week, in our council meeting we shared the acts kindness we have seen within our class and celebrated those children. Another one of the Kingdom of God values. Seeing little acts of kindness around the classroom and on the playground throughout the week has been really lovely, and of course being active in the choices that we make. We have even started a kindness jar, where we add the acts of kindness we see throughout the day and share these with everyone.
What a wonderful and busy week we have had in Year 6… the highlight of the week was most definitely our visit to Salmesbury Hall on Tuesday. This was a great way to kick start our learning on the Tudors, there was so much to take in, but we learnt so much from our tour guide.We particualrly enjoyed learning about the ‘white lady’ and hearing some of the other ghost stories from this hall. Take a look at what we got up to …
Year 6 have been doing some wonderful learning this week. Our class novel ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ is in full swing and we are making so many great predictions as we read. We have explored the characters this week in detail, looking at their main characteristics and how they are brought to life through blended action, dialogue and description. Here are some lovely moments of the week…
This week, we have completed our 4th Kidsafe lesson about keeping our private areas safe. Your children may wish to discuss this further with you.

Leading Learners
Well done to Isaac and Bella and this week.
Isaac, you thoroughly get involved in all your learningk and push yourself to be better each day. You constantly listen to feedback, reflect on it and then strive to be the best version of yourself. We are so impressed with your wonderful attitude, you are always focused and determined in any task given, your effort across all subjects makes you a super role model.
Roseanna- Thank you for being such a cooperative Roger Robin! Nothing is ever too much trouble and you quietly seek out opportunities to help others. Thank you for all that you do to make our class a heppier place.
Attentive and Discerning butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are attentive in the way we look at the world and in others, taking the time to notice the big and the small things each day. We will also be spotting children who are discerning, who choose the right decisions with integrity. These children are the role models of the school. This week we thank Bella for being attentive and discerning to help others.
