At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them… this week is always a poignant week as we stop and remember all of those fallen victims of war and conflict. Our focus of the week has been on the word ‘Remembrance’. We have designed and created our own poppies and yesterday we reflected on previous wars and wrote poetry in response.
“Christ has no body on earth now but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on the world; yours are the feet with which he walks to do good; yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world” St Teresa of Avila.
In worship this week, we have reflected on this quote and how it relates to our two virtues: Intentional and Prophetic. We have spoken about what these virtues mean and how we can be intentional in the choices we make and the ethical code we live by, choosing to live how God wants us to…
The week has flown by and we have done so much exciting and challenging learning. We have read more of our class novel this week, looked at the remaining Tudor Monarchs after Henry VIII and started our Geography unit on volcanoes and mountains with Mrs Hotchkiss.
Our Mathematics this week has been on fire, balancing equations and using redistribution to find unknowns in expressions!Very impressive!
Travelling Nativity
Our Travelling Nativity has started it journey visiting your homes. It is yours to keep for one night only (unless you get it on a Friday) and then you must return it to Year 6. Please make sure that it is completely ready for another friend to enjoy the next day.
You will find instructions in the sack, with a journal to reflect on the story through words and drawings.

Leading Learners
Well done to Rafe and Niamh this week.
Rafe, you could get a certificate every week for each of the learning characters, as you are so consistent with your approach to learning and positivie attitude. You give 100% effort in all tasks, always showing great enthusaism, determination and focus.
Niamh- you are always considerate and a flexible classmate. Your calm nature and focused learning makes you a terrific role model and therefore an invaluable member of Year 6!
Intentional and Prophetic butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intention in their actions. Children who make conscious decisions for the greater good. We will also be spotting children who are prophetic, who choose the right decisions with integrity and who display them publically. These children are the role models of the school. This week we thank Layla for being intentional and prophetic to help others.
