Year 6 – St Francis of Assisi – Page 11 – St Adrian's Catholic Primary School

Art competition

An exciting competition is taking place across the county. The task is to:

Create a piece of artwork entitled ‘The Bread of Life’.

Encourage your child to think about what the blessed sacrament, the Eucharistic host, means to them and then create a piece of artwork reflecting their thoughts. The artwork needs to be A4 in size and can be created using any medium, including paint, collage or printing. Please label the back of the artwork with your child’s name and year group and return to your class teacher by 9th November.

Y6 Maths Workshop

Today we had visitors in from Explore Learning to complete different maths challenges. The children were engaged and enjoyed debating each other’s ideas about which method was best!

Y6 Parent Meeting

It was so nice to see so many of you at the ‘Meet the teacher’ this morning. Please see above the presentation that was shared and includes key information about the year ahead, including diary dates.

Y6 New prayers

In year 6, we have introduced new morning and afternoon prayers. You will need to learn them off by heart.

Morning Prayer

The Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

to whom His love entrusts me here,

ever this day be at my side,

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen.

End of Day Prayer

Lord, keep us safe this night,

and free from all our fears.

May angels guard us while we sleep,

until morning light appears.

As a school we are taking part in the Angelus, daily at 12pm. Please learn the words off by heart.

Y6 – Old and New

Class of 2018

I wanted to wish you all the best of luck for starting your new schools next week! I know you will all be brilliant and make your parents proud.

I also wanted to say a big, big thank you for your kind cards, gifts and words received at the end of last term – it meant a lot!

Good luck and God bless.

Class of 2019

Welcome to Y6!

I hope that you all enjoy the last few days of your holidays and are ready to start the new year refreshed and raring to go! A quick reminder about bags – we only have small lockers in Y6 which have to fit in your school and PE bags along with any extra-curricular sports bags you may have so I would encourage you to use a school book bag rather than a large backpack.

Science
For our first topic ‘Evolution and Inheritance’ I ask that all children bring in some photos for part of an investigation. I am looking for one photo of a parent when they were young and a photo of them now – children are welcome to bring in photos of both parents. If you do not have access to these, photos of grandparents are also fine. I would ask that the photos are of individuals rather than groups shots as they will be looking closely at facial features. The children will not be bringing these photos home as they will be analysed in their class books so can you please either send in photos that you don’t mind the children keeping, or photocopy/scanning photos (in colour if possible).

Children will need to have these in school by Monday 10th September.

See you all next week.

Y6 Toy shop

Today, the children got to show off the toys that they have been making as part of the their DT topic. Along with the Reception children, we gathered in the hall for a morning of games. The aim of the children’s project was to make a gender neutral toy, appropriate for a reception child and made from as many recyclable materials as possible.

Some comments from the Reception children:

“I liked seeing the racing cars.”

“I liked all of the colourful toys.”

“I liked that they are all different.”

“I liked the learning bus as it teaches us whilst having fun.”

“They made them with lots of different materials.”

“I liked seeing what they do in Y6.”

Y6 Production

I just wanted to say congratulations to the Y6 children on their outstanding performance last night. I thought they did themselves and the school proud. Thank you for working so hard to make the production such a succes s.

Congratulations Y6!

Mr Bedford and I would like to extend a huge WELL DONE to the year 6 children on their SATs results. They worked extremely hard and this effort paid off. They should be very proud of themselves, as we are.

Y6 Production

See below the vocal tracks for Pirates of the Curry Bean. You should be listening to them regularly so that you can learn the words, tune and rhythm of the songs.

Lubago Lullaby

Piratical Style (Reprise)

You have now been given your parts for the production. Please start learning your words now. We are going to be doing our first rehearsal on Monday 18th June and I would like all song lyrics and most speaking parts to be learnt off by heart.

Happy practising!

Y6

We are not officially setting any homework this week.

If you cannot resist, you have your CGP 10-minute test books and there are still maths activities for you to complete on MyMaths. However, under no circumstances are you to complete any homework or revision on Sunday afternoon. Use this time to play, kick a ball, go outside, spend time with your family, ride your bike and do what children do. Early to bed Sunday 🙂

Relax and enjoy your weekend – you’ll all be brilliant next week!
