Year 6 Class Worship
Today, year 6 took part in a class worship and discussed moments when they have felt genuinely surprised, shocked, puzzled, amazed and confused. These are emotions that Mary would have undoubtedly felt when she discovered the empty tomb and heard Jesus saying her name. We then heard from Bishop Phillip who spoke about how Jesus won victory over death and that means Christians can be friends with him forever.

Thank you parents and carers!
Thank you to everyone who attended parents’ evening last night. We had 92% of our parents attend, which was brilliant, especially with it being the first week back after the Easter holidays. It was lovely to welcome you back into school again and we hope you enjoyed hearing how your child has progressed since the last parents’ evening in December. Thank you for your patience when waiting for appointments and for your ongoing support. If you weren’t able to attend last night, please contact class teachers via class dojo to arrange a 5 minute phone call. A quick reminder that parents and carers are always welcome to join us for our Family Celebration Worship on Friday mornings. Refreshments will be available from 8.55am and worship will start at 9.05am. We look forward to seeing you and thank you for your continued support.
Year 6 - English
In English, year 6 have been developing their use of causal conjunctions to enhance their non-chronological report writing. They have used common causal conjunctions such as since, because and as, but have also been exposed to some more formal conjunctions such as thus, therefore, consequently and due to. Year 6 worked extremely hard to use these correctly and ensure their sentences were punctuated properly.
Whole School Worship- Year of Prayer
During our first whole-school worship after the Easter break, the children explored the power of prayer and how it can support us during difficult times. This week the focus for our Diocesan Year of Prayer was the 'robes of righteousness'. As part of the reflection, two children were gently wrapped in robes to symbolise that God is always with us—surrounding us with His love, comfort, and protection. This visual reminder helped the children understand that even in challenging moments, we are never alone. Through prayer and faith, we can experience hope, peace and life in all its fullness.
Year 6 Hop, Skip and Jump
Year 6 took part in the Hop, Skip and Jump activity to raise money for East Lancs Hospice. They wore the Easter crowns that they had made and had a lot of fun! Donations can be made on parent pay.

Whole School Easter Service in Church
This morning, we celebrated our last day of the Spring term with a fantastic Easter church service. Our KS2 classes showcased their Easter artwork and our teachers led the service ‘’The Greatest News Event Ever” in the style of news reporters. Thank you to those who could attend and we wish you all a fantastic Easter holidays.
Year 6 Visit to the Rose Garden
Year 6 enjoyed a peaceful visit to the beautiful Rose Garden at Whitehall Park to appreciate all of the wonderful Easter artwork that children have produced. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and the children really enjoyed some time to reflect.
Year 6 Computing with Junior Jam
Year 6 have been learning about 3D art in computing lessons. This week, the children have used the Tetra app to create their own 3D shape art, recreating some given examples and also designing some of their own.
Year 6 Maths
Year 6 have been looking at algebra in maths. They have been learning how to solve two-step equations, using bar models and function machines to help us to find the numerical value of a letter.
Year 6 Gaelic Football
Year 6 enjoyed their final Gaelic football session, this week. They culminated all of the skills they have learned over previous weeks into playing team matches. The children have really enjoyed this unit of P.E!
