On Tuesday, our Year 5 and 6 football team played in the first round of the Catholic Primary Schools Cup against St Anne’s. The team put in a brilliant performance, showing great teamwork, determination, and skill throughout what was a very tough match.
Their hard work paid off with a fantastic 3–0 victory, securing a well-deserved place in the second round of the cup.
Rudy (Year 6) was named Player of the Match by the opposition
Well done, everyone — a great start to the competition!
This term in Computing, Year 6 have been using Scratch to create their own versions of the classic Pong game. Their focus has been on variables — an important concept in programming.
The games include several variables they’ve created themselves, such as time, speed, score, and high score. The children have also built on their previous knowledge to design new sprites, add sound effects, and create different backgrounds to make each game unique.
Below are three examples of their work — have a go and see if you can beat the high score!
This term, Year 6 have been learning to play Ultimate Frisbee as part of their PE lessons. Over the past few weeks, they have developed a range of new skills, including throwing techniques such as the forehand and backhand, and different ways of catching the frisbee — from the clap catch to one-handed and two-handed catches. They’ve also been practising throwing accurately to moving targets and learning the key rules and strategies of the game.
Yesterday, the class put all their hard work into action with a mini-tournament, giving everyone the chance to showcase the skills they’ve been working on. As you can see from the photos below, it was a fantastic afternoon full of teamwork, energy, and plenty of smiles!
Next week, Year 6 will be taking on a new challenge — a game of Frisbee Golf — where they can continue to develop their accuracy and control in a fun and competitive way.
A group of our Y6 took part in a Swim Safe lesson and workshop today, focusing on swimming safely in open water and what to do in case of emergency. The water was a cool 14 degrees but despite the initial shock, the children coped well, listened to advice and all successfully completed a short swim and survival floating.

A huge thank you and well done to our wonderful Y6 bakers!
As part of our DT project ‘Baked and unbaked goods’, the children planned, designed and made some absolutely wonderful creations to enter into our Bake Off Competition.
Our children, governors and staff thoroughly enjoyed trying all of the bakes and our winner was
Evie with a Rabbit’s Carrot Cake!
A fabulous morning and wonderful finale to our DT unit. Well done!
We were happy to welcome the MP for Coventry North, Taiwo Owatemi, to our school last week. She met with our Y5 and Y6 children to speak about her current campaigns and allow the children to ask any questions.
As part of our Live Simply work, the children asked Taiwo about what the government are currently doing to support the most vulnerable people of our world with the ongoing Climate Crisis. Taiwo said she was wiling to support the children’s writing asking the government to consider giving more support to those most in need during this difficult time.
We thank Taiwo and Kiki for their visit and look forward to their support in the coming weeks.
Year 6 launched their baked and unbaked goods unit of Design Technology with a taste test. There were mixed reviews for the desserts chosen and some definite favourites within the class.
The children have now designed, planned and published their recipes for their own bake and unbaked goods ready for the Great Year 6 Bake Off on Tuesday 2nd June 2025.
Recipes can be found on Google Classroom
We could not be prouder of this incredible bunch of talented children!
You have approached this week with such dedication, determination and resilience. We could not have asked for anything else. Well done, Year 6! Mrs H, Mrs McG and Mrs K x
