CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR YEAR 6 LEADERSHIP TEAMS

TEAM CAPTAINS & VICE CAPTAINS

We Will Remember Them - Year 6 Prayer Service for the fallen soldiers

The Year 6 class went out to the outside alter on Monday to have a small prayer service for the fallen. 

We said a prayer to all those who had died, who had the courage to step forward and lay their lives down for their country. The children prayed for the fallen, their families and also the animals that have lost their lives through war. The children wanted the animals  to also be prayed for, as they are often forgotten.

Finally, they had time to say silent prayers for any of their family members that had died. 

We will remember them...

 

Classroom Worship through Drama - Follow the Leader

To help the year 6 class understand how Jesus was our Leader who wanted his flock to follow him, we played Follow the Leader in the Playground. It was hard for the children to understand who to follow. We discussed how this was the same for the diciples. They were unsure on who to follow, and why they should follow Jesus. They asked many questions until they understood. They needed to be convinced.  The children had great fun discussing this and playing the roles in the game and this hopefully helped them to embed their learning.

Year 6 & Year 2-Teaching the Rosary

 

Year 6 sat with the younger class today and assisted them in praying the rosary. They went through the formation of the rosary and what prayers to say. They then said the prayers together. . It was a very spiritual lesson. 

Bikeability

 

Year 6 had their Bikeability course this week, and they were all really enthusiastic. The instructors were very happy with their listening skills, and how they took on important information.

Most of the children completed their Level 1 & 2. We hope they utilise this knowledge going forward with they cycling journey!

 

Foundation & Year 6 Assembly

 

Year 6 assited Foundation today in their assembly. It was wonderful to see the children teaching the rest of the school how to sign the Hail Mary. They were fantastic. They then led the rest of the school in the hymn 'Ave Maria'. This hymn is the Hail Mary sung, and it was sung beautifully. You can find website where you can sign the Hail Mary, by clicking here.

The Season of Creation 2024

CST 

This half term  we embrace Sofia the Sloth, and how we can implement the virtues in our everyday lives. To reflect these virtues, the year 6 class went out into the community and did some litter picking. They tidied up the local area, by delving into bushes and ensuring all visible rubbish was placed in the bin. They worked really hard...and got into some tight spots! They are a credit to the school, and community.

 

CST - In Class Prayer

 

This week we had quiet prayer time in class. As our current jar in Year 6 was on Poppy the popokotea  -  our aim is Putting people in Need first. Therefore we prayed for the family members, and wider community that may be struggling, wether through the cost of living, mental health or illness. We prayed together as a class, and then for our own intentions.

October Rosary

Year 6 Chaplaincy Team introduced October the month of the Rosary in assembly

Mark 10 Mission - Rosary Challenge 2024

 

The children today have embarked on the Mark 10 Mission, Rosary Challenge (more information can be found by clicking here.)

They were led by the Year 6 chaplaincy team, and they started today with the Joyful Mysteries. The chapliancy team explained the Annunciation to the rest of the class, and they were asked to reflect on this, and hold in in their hearts whilst they prayed a decade of the rosary.  All of the children got out their rosary beads and followed along.

 

Parish Links - Cathy vist - Praying the Rosary

 

Cathy came in today and taught the children how to pray the rosary. Cathy brought in some of her own rosaries a special one from Ireland and another from the Holy Land.

Together the children and Cathy talked about the Rosary, how to pray each decade and the rosary mysteries.

The children were very enthusastic and asked Cathy many questions. They asked about the parish community and about Fr Nixon. It was a wonderful morning of reflection and prayer, and Year 6 were amazing.

Prayer Club

In the month of October the Year 6 Chaplaincy team will be leading a Prayer Club for anyone that wished to attend.

We have to say how very proud we are of the way they set up the prayer room. They did an outstanding job! They set up some areas with prayer and colouring cards, and other areas with 'How to pray the Rosary' cards. The atmosphere during prayer club was very respectful and serene.

 

Year 6 & Foundation Prayer Partners

 

Year 6 went down to Foundation this Friday and met with their prayer partners. The Foundations sat and taught Year 6 how to 'Sign' the Hail Mary.

It was such a wonderful and spiritual moment. The 'little' children loved sharing their learning with the 'big' children. The Year 6's accepted their learning with grace and maturity.

It was so lovely.

Year 6 & Foundation Reading Partners

Over the past two Fridays, Year 6 have met up with their reading partners.

The first week they got to know each other with a stroll around the field and today they all sat together in the Foundation Class and devoured some books!

The children (big & small) had a wonderful time together.

Witham Walk - WW2

To continue with our World War II topic this term the children walked onto Witham to look at the buildings in the High St.

In their computing lessons they have been researching the buldings that were in the High Street during WWII, and using Google drawing to draw maps of the high st. 

We walked into the high st, to look at the buildings that now occupy the area that differ from the buildings in WWII. We looked at the architecture, and history of each building and got to talk to some of the owners of the buildings who could give us an insight of their uses over the years.

This topic feeds into their Geography and History learning too.

Finally, we walked up to the War Memorial and looked at the names of soldiers who had died, not only in WWII, but also in WWI and the Afganistan war. 

The children were very respectful, and sensible on their walk, and were a credit to the school.
