JCA Days 1, 2 & 3
Year 6 Curriculum for 2016-2017
Welcome to the Year 6- St John Class Page. My name is Mr Rodney and I am the class teacher: this is my third year teaching at Our Lady of Lourdes. Working alongside me is our TA, Mrs O'Neill; we are both excited for the summer term and the challenges that await.
The children have recently taken their SAT's. All children tried their best and showed confidence and maturity throughout the week of examinations. We should all be very proud of them.
Year 6 will be going on their JCA residential at Condover Hall in Shropshire. This will be a final chance for the children to bond and make some final Our Lady of Lourdes memories.
As a team, Mrs O'Neill and I are dedicated to your children's well-being and academic progress. Please check back regularly to see the learning take place in our class, updates, successes, website links and more.
