Mission Statement

As St. Francis Class, we promise to live each day guided by the Gospel values. We will show kindness to one another, treating everyone with dignity and respect. We will strive to be people of integrity, speaking the truth and acting with fairness. We will forgive when mistakes are made and support each other, without argument, with compassion and hope.

We live out our faith by following Jesus' example, being peacemakers in our school and community, abiding by His golden rule (John 13:34-35). We will work together for the common good, making sure everyone has the chance to take part and be included. We will stand in solidarity with those in need and take care of God's creation through good stewardship.

As leaders of our school, we commit ourselves to be role models, showing resilience, responsibility and courage. With God at the centre of all that we do, we will strive to make this year one of growth, joy and service.

Welcome Year 6

Welcome back after the half term break – myself and Mrs Law hope that you had an enjoyable break and are raring to go with Term 2. With Christmas on the horizon, I know that this term will be a busy one - crammed full of learning and fun, seasonal activities.

We will complete our topic on 'Britain since 1945', taking a decade-by-decade look at the countless technological, social and political developments in Britain over this period.

In English, we will complete Carrie’s War as our base novel before delving into a Victorian Christmas through Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’. We shall explore various writing outcomes including poetry, narrative and a balanced argument.

In Maths, we will study the many aspects of fractions as well as lots of reasoning, as we apply our maths skills to practical situations.

In Science, we will begin the topic of ‘Electricity’. We will consolidate our knowledge of this topic from Year 4 and develop our understanding through further investigations.

Homework will continue to be set on a Friday through the Class Dojo website and should be completed by the following Friday morning.
