PILGRIM ATTRIBUTES Of The Week

Week 1 - Understanding
In Y6 we talked about how we do not always understand why God allows things to happen. Sometimes we are not meant to and other times they happen because God is protecting us from things we can not see. Sometimes our ways are not God’s ways and we do not always understand this. The children gave examples of war, poverty, not getting the exam results or school they want. We linked it to our song of how God was a Waymaker. Even though we do not always know God is with us and helping us he is silently helping. Y6 discussion as a class
Week 2 - Humble
Koby (Y6) talked about how Jesus showed humility when he washed the feet of his disciples. Jesus was a King, God’s son, the Messiah yet he was the one washing the feet of his friends.
Week 3 - Wisdom
Wisdom isn’t always about being smart, it is about being wise and making good choices.
Week 4 - Forgiving
Luke 6:37 “…Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Forgiving is to remember and remind others how to not make the same mistakes. It is also not reminding people of the mistakes they have made. Y6
Week 5 -Goodness
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Showing goodness is not just about all getting things right, it is about trying our best to show integrity and show the fruits of the spirit. Olivia R Y6
Week 6 - Appreciative
1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever.
Nyasha - Having the mindset to stop and think about how other people do not have things.
week 7 - Compassionate
Psalm 145:8 “The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.”
These are some of the songs we have enjoyed from our Pilgrim Attributes

Term 2 2024
This term we have enjoyed reading with our Y1 reading buddies, going to Forest school, learning about Ruby Bridges and have our PSHE afternoon about ‘Aspiring to be.’ We talked about our school vision and what it really meant to be Pilgrim. We looked at people who inspired us for lots of reasons like sporting heroes, political leaders and how they have impacted our lives today. We talked about how we can inspire the generations of the future.

Term 1 2024
Term 1 in Y6 has been filled with lots of change and many exciting moments so far. We have settled into our new daily life in Y6, enjoying many different aspect like Round Robin, Forest School, Science and our History topic of WW2. We went on a school trip to the Royal Engineer's Museum in Gillingham which was fantastic. We seen real life machinery and vehicles used even up to this current day. One of the highlights of this term was to make Anderson Shelter's during DT. This was so much fun. We designed our shelter and carefully considered the materials we would want to use. Then we got to make them and take them home.
