On Friday morning Year 6 presented their final assembly to the school.
We had chance to share memories of our Holy Souls School Career and also the skills and lessons we had learnt. High points certainly included Shoun depicting a wonderful Elvis-style Mr Kelly and Connor as Mr Barton. We sang a beautiful re-worked version of the Beatles 'little help from my friends' and reflected on photos of us in Reception and now. We have all really grown up!

Music Assembly
Today both KS1 and KS2 had special music assemblies.
Both were to celebrate the work and dedication Miss Moss had shown at Holy Souls School. It was a wonderful opportunity for all classes to show case the music they have been studying in class this year. Year 3, for example, had great chime bar players in their first song, Year 5 showed us brilliant 1950s dancers and year 6 made up very apt lyrics about the teachers in school. It was a fantastic way to spend a morning and Miss Moss seemed to enjoy it all!
Well done everyone!

French Picnic
Today Year 6 had their french picnic in the school playground.
We have been preparing for this over our French lessons in the last half term. We were able to ask for different foods such as bread with jam, cheese or nutella and drinks such as, cola, mineral water or Orangina.
It was really great fun and the perfect end to our French sessions.
We would like to say a big thank you to Mr McCarthy from Archbishop Ilsley for running the french programme in school!

Awards Assembly
This morning KS2 had their awards assembly. We were able to celebrate each others' successes through the year - sporting, academic and attendance.
It was really wonderful to see all those children who have represented our school in all kinds of sports and those who also gained certificates in activities out of school, such as the 'Race for Life' and local drama groups.
Well done to all children in Key Stage Two and especially Year 6 - what a bunch of shining stars we are!

Sports Day
This afternoon was KS2 Sports Day, which had been postponed after the bad weather last week.
All the children competed in their houses in a range of events such as: uni-hockey, tennis ball relay, netball shootout, football and the 'drinks station' to name but a few! All children showed great sportsmanship! Congratulations to St. Bernadettes who were the winners. Congratulations to Year 6 for beginning a great Mexican Wave.
Year 6 say a big thank you to everyone who helped organise the afternoon and are delighted that the sun shone for our last Sports Day at Holy Souls School!

Buzz
Year 6 are looking at the Bee Movie in Literacy and PSHE this week.
In the film, Barry the Bee has to make difficult decisions about which job to take in the hive. Year 6 are entering their last full week at Holy Souls and realise that they have already made some huge decisions such as which school to go to in September. This week we will be looking at the key characters in the film and the messages the film encourages us to think about. It's going to BEE wild!

Not Guilty!!
On Friday morning we held our court case. Kensuke had been charged with keeping Michael a prisoner on the island.
Both sets of lawyers made their case and Kensuke (Alex) and Michael (Kelly) both stepped into the witness box to be questioned and cross-examined. Everyone did a brilliant job and there was real tension in the court room!
After much deliberation, the jury found Kensuke to be 'not guilty'. Year 6 are writing up the case in the form of a newspaper report for homework this weekend. They should be a great read!

DT project
This afternoon we have all worked on our Anderson shelters. We have made a vast number of different structures - some complete with bunk beds, tables and even lamps! Most of us followed our designs but improved and tweaked our ideas as we went.
Tomorrow we will evaluate our designs and see which are best suited to their purpose. Some of the interious are quite luxurious and the decor is very imaginative!! Well done Year 6.

Air Raid Shelters
This afternoon we started our group work on our Anderson Shelters. We have made our detailed plans and technical drawings. Now we are building our creations. We will keep you posted on our progress!!
Assembly
It is our Leaving assembly on 18th July and this week year 6 are practising. The process is quite sad because we know that this is the last assembly that we will do together. However, it is wonderful to have the opportunity to reflect on our time at Holy Souls and everything that we experienced in this time. Put the date in your diary!

Order in the Court!
Today we started to prepare in Year 6 for our important court case.
Kensuke has been arrested with the charge that he kept Michael prisoner on an island. Did he or didn't he? The Year 6 lawyers for the prosecutor and the defendant are gathering evidence and putting together their arguments.
Court will be in session on Wednesday and the jury will decide......
(If you have no idea what we are talking about, check out 'Kensuke's Kingdom' by Michael Morpurgo - it is a really great read!)

Merci!
On Friday, Year 6 had their third french lesson. We have been getting ready for our 'French pic nic', which we will have at the end of term, for some weeks now.
We have learnt how to greet someone in French, how to ask for certain drinks and now we are learning how to ask for food such as bread with cheese or jam.
In fact, we are so keen on learning French that sometimes we have a practice during 'spare' moments in the day!

Finding our way
Today in Geography we learnt how to use six figure grid references on an OS map. To start with we found this quite tricky, but working with talk partners and in then in groups, we managed to find lots of references on a map of Birmingham.
The children in Year 6 will not need SAT NAV now!

What is a vocation?
Today Year 6 had a visit from Chris Smith who came to talk to us about 'Vocations'.
We learnt that this word means 'being called By God' and literally comes from the Latin word 'vocare' which means 'to call'. It was the first time that some of us had thought about our own special mission as followers of Christ. Our mission is our vocation and each vocation is different.
We found the afternoon very interesting and joined in with lots of our own thoughts and ideas. We now know that our vocation is becoming the person that God wants us to be.
