Confirmation Meeting

Don't forget that there is an important meeting about Confirmation in the School Hall at 7:00pm on Thursday 5th June. A grown up for each child needs to be present.

Getting Ready for Confirmation

In the first week back after half term, we will be preparing for Confirmation in a number of ways.

Firstly we will be looking at the links between the sacrament of Baptism and the sacrament of Confirmation.


We will also be looking at the way that the Church is organised and our role within our diocese and our parish.

We will be visiting Church to practice for our Confirmation masses.  Please make sure that you have waterproof coats for this!

Don't Forget!

Remember that your Confirmation saints project NEEDS to be in on the first day back after half term. (Monday 2nd June.) We would like to know which saint you have picked as your Confirmation name, why and how you hope to live your life in a similar way.

Happy Half Term!

Well done Year 6 for a very hard working Half Term! Have a good rest next week! Don't forget to complete your sponsor card and Saint name research!! Both need to be brought in on the first day back. (Monday 2nd June.)

Don't Forget

On Friday we will be celebrating Mary Our Mother. Don't forget your flowers for our May procession!!

Video from this week in RE - The Fruit of the Spirit

RE work on Confirmation.

This week we will be finding out about the Holy Spirit, what happened at Pentecost, the gifts of the Spirit and the fruits of the spirit. What do you already know?

Coming up in Literacy

We will be reading the story Carrie's War and finding out about the characters as they are evacuated.

 What might life have been like for an evacuee?

Well Done Year 6

Sigur Koder Artwork

We will be looking at the artwork by Sigur Koder. Do you know any of his pieces already? Lots of his pictures show the feelings described in scripture stories. Have a look at this one:
