Year 6 OLC

Good afternoon, I just wanted to take a few moments to share with you some of the amazing experiences that we have had this past week in the lead up to Confirmation.

We enjoyed a wonderful Retreat with Mrs Sue Barton in which the children were asked to liken themselves to wind and fire, complete a crossword on the Pentecost story, challenge their knowledge of Patron Saints and create sculptures depicting the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
