Year 5/6 thoroughly enjoyed working collaboratively in groups to identify the key features of an effective setting description. They also enthusiastically participated in our Monday Message and Wednesday Worship sessions.

This week in Year 5/6 has been a calm, reflective, and meaningful one as we took time to slow down and focus on our Celebration of the Word. We spent time exploring the Hail Mary prayer during 'Tuesday Choice' where the children looked closely at the words of the prayer, discussing what they mean and why Mary is such an important figure. Pupils reflected on Mary’s trust, her courage, and her willingness. Finally, we took part in our first Visio Divina, which was a new experience for many pupils. Visio Divina is a form of prayer that involves looking at an image slowly and prayerfully. Instead of rushing to describe what we see, we are encouraged to sit quietly, notice details, reflect on feelings, and think about what might be said to us through the image.

Year 5/6 had a fantastic start to their week, filled with curiosity, creativity and celebration! The children took part in a one-off Arabic session that gave them the opportunity to explore a new language and culture in a fun and engaging way. During the session, pupils learned a range of Arabic sayings and greetings, discovering how language can help us connect with others around the world. They also enjoyed writing their own names in Arabic, taking great pride in practicing the beautiful script and admiring one another’s work.
After such an energetic and joyful experience, we had a calm Celebration of the Word during our Wednesday celebrations. This provided a peaceful moment for the children to pause, reflect and come together, creating a lovely balance to the week’s activities.
