Homework

Friday 7th May 2021

Dear Year Six,

You have three homework tasks to complete: English, Maths and spellings to learn.

1) (i) To research saints that inspire you for your Confirmation name. ( homework task for two weeks)

Research the life of saints that inspire you because of the work they completed for God. Record how they completed God’s work and why you are inspired by their lives. Be prepared to present your research to the class and explain why you think they would make a good saint to choose for Confirmation.

(ii) To live stream a Mass or go to Mass.

In preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, it is important that you receive Jesus into your life weekly. At the moment you have the option to attend Mass at church or live stream from home. Therefore you are still able to live stream a Mass from all around the world. Take time to welcome Jesus spiritually into your lives at home and pray the act of Spiritual Communion. Here are three links that you could use to live stream with you family this weekend.

Dear Year Six,

Thank you for your hard work this term. I am delighted that you have made such good progress and grown in confidence. You should be very proud of the work that you have completed. I look forward to working with you in the Spring Term, to further develop your knowledge and understanding of the Year Six Curriculum.

Our next topic is ‘A Child’s War.’ Find time over the Christmas holidays to read through the knowledge organiser on our class page, to familiarise yourself with the background knowledge to our topic. Please email any additional research or projects you completed to discover more about the impact of World War Two. I have also attached a book list linked to our topic, if you have Christmas money to purchase a Year Six quality text.

Our next two Gospel Virtues are ‘Grateful & Generous.’ It would be lovely to hear how you are going to strive to be more grateful and generous next term.

Remember to ‘Keep Christ in Christmas’ by attending Mass at church or live stream a Mass online.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas with your families and a successful 2021.
