Mr J Sharp
โThank youโ
Many of our Year 6 started this week off with a Trip to the Cathedral for the Year 6 Leaversโ Service. It was a real privilege to join them in the service.
The key messages of the service were around being grateful for all we have and for the experiences that we have had in our primary schools. Then the focus on courage and moving onto the next part of their journey.
The theme of the service was โrunning the raceโ. The children learnt about how important it was to take note of the things we have around to support them on their journey and especially through the next part of their journey.
One of the songs they had learnt for the service was aptly named, โThank youโ. Focusing on thanking God for his support and guidance on our journey. No matter what faith (or no faith at all), we always have someone to thank for their unequivocal support and guidance through our journey, even as adults. Those people who never give up on us, even when we are sometimes ready to give up on ourselves.
Year 6 really did us proud at the service, they sang their hearts out and listened and reflected on the messages given. I do hope that it helps them and encourages them to look forward to the next stage of their journey - they are so ready!
I know they have lots of fantastic surprises up their sleeves before the end of the year and look forward to sharing them with you.

World Festivals and Celebrations
Eid-ul-Adha - Monday 17th June 2024
(Saturday 15th June - Tuesday 18th June worldwide)
The name สฟId al-Adha means โFestival of Sacrificeโ in Arabic. It refers to a story in the Koran, the holy book of Islam. In the story, God asks Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to sacrifice, or kill, his son. Ibrahim prepares to do so, but then God lets him sacrifice a ram instead.

Article 15
Wow - what a busy but fantastic week. With Eid celebration going on outside school for many of our families at the start of the week; Year 6โs trip to the Cathedral; Outdoor Adventure Day for KS2; Year 2โs trip to Formby Beach; Year 3โs trip to Tatton Park; more football games after school; Gardening Club; Hockey Club; Football Club; Art Club; Games Club; Annaโs Danceโฆ. itโs no wonder everyoneโs tired! One of my favourite parts of my job is getting to hear all of the childrenโs excitement and awe and wonder when going on trips or experiencing something new or exciting and this week has had it in abundance!
Throughout it all, I have had so many reports back to say how fantastic our children are and how well mannered and smart they have been - I have been very proud of them all.
Next week Year 6 will be heading off on their residential to the Anderson Centre and I cannot wait to share in their adventures.
I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend - it looks like it will hopefully be a sunny one!
