Welcome to St josephine bahkita's class page
As we embark on an exciting new academic year, I am delighted to welcome you and your children to Year 6. This year holds significant importance as it is our final year of primary education, and we aim to make it a memorable one filled with meaningful learning experiences and enjoyable activities.
In our class, we are honoured to have adopted St Josephine Bakhita as 
our class saint. St Josephine's commitment to justice and compassion is an inspiring model for our students, and we look forward to embedding her values in our daily learning and interactions. Throughout the year, we will engage in activities that reflect these virtues, fostering a sense of community and respect within our classroom.
As part of our journey through Year 6, we have many exciting educational adventures planned, including a residential trip to PGL. This experience will not only provide our children with the opportunity to engage in various outdoor and team-building activities but will also promote personal growth and the development of lifelong skills. Further details regarding the dates and arrangements will be shared with you soon.
I encourage parents to maintain an open line of communication with us throughout the year. Your involvement is invaluable, and we appreciate any support you can provide, whether you have skills to share or simply words of encouragement. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support, and here’s to a year filled with learning, fun, and adventure!

This terms Caritas Curriculum Learning
Spring: Being Human
The overarching theme for this term is "Being Human." In our science curriculum, we will delve into the fascinating workings of the circulatory system. This unit promises to engage the students through hands-on activities and interactive lessons, encouraging them to appreciate the intricacies of their own bodies.
In addition to our scientific exploration, we will be reading the thought-
provoking novel "Pig Heart Boy" by Malorie Blackman. This book will foster discussions around ethical dilemmas and the human experience, further enhancing our theme.
In geography, we will be focusing on our local area, encouraging students to investigate their surroundings and understand the significance of the environment in which they live. This inquiry will help to bridge connections between their personal experiences and the broader community.
Physical education this term will involve learning essential skills in both netball and gymnastics. Through these activities, students will develop teamwork, coordination, and resilience—important attributes that extend beyond the classroom.
Furthermore, we will be deepening our understanding of scripture through the topic "Galilee to Jerusalem." This segment aims to provide students with insight into historical and religious contexts, fostering a sense of respect and curiosity.
As we progress through these stimulating topics, we encourage you to engage in discussions with your children at home. Your involvement is invaluable in reinforcing their learning experiences and nurturing their curiosity.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.
