Dear Year 6,

Well, this week marks another milestone in these strange times with most of you returning to school on Tuesday. How exciting! We can't wait to welcome you back.

We shall be teaching Maths, English, Religion and PSHE to the children returning in the afternoons, so the home learning for the next four weeks is really just for the children who are unable to return to school.

For those of you unable to attend, we will be calling you this week to have a chat and a catch up. We want to check that you are continuing your home learning and also to let you know what is happening regarding the Leavers' Book and the Leavers' Song - we don't want anyone to miss out.

If you have any questions, please email and we will gladly get back to you as soon as we can.

Take care,

Mrs Day & Miss Goss

Religion- Called to Serve

Last week in school, we remotely attended a Mass at Westminster Cathedral. During the homily, Cardinal Vincent Nichols reminded us that Jesus taught us three important things: how to pray, that He is always with us and that He has a special purpose for each and every one of us.

We are all unique and we all have a unique purpose in life. Using the word UNIQUE create an acrostic poem explaining that we are all different, that we are all special and that Jesus has a special role for each of us to fulfill when we are ready to listen. Decorate your work, in a unique way, once your poem is finished.
