Year 6!
Miss Barton (Class Teacher) and Mrs Craddock (LSA)
Our Class Saint is Maximilian Kolbe
Maximilian Kolbe was born in Poland in 1894, who had a devotion to Our Lady. He became Franciscan priest and during WW11, he was arrested by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp. Maximilian died in Auschwitz because he wanted to save another prisoner.
How can we be like Saint Maximilian?
Our Catholic Social Teaching for this half term is Dignity of Work
This Catholic Social Teaching encourages us to think of all those who work to better God's creation. All jobs and workers should be treated equally; workers should be valued, listened to and treated with respect.
Our values and virtues for this half term are Learned and Wise
In Year 6, we are growing to be learned by finding God in all things and wise in the ways they use their learning for the common good.
We think about St Maximilian Kolbe and how he was a missionary. He travelled the world and informed people of the life of Mary and Jesus. St Maximilian Kolbe formed the Knight of the Immaculata, which later developed a magazine. He used what he had learned about Mary to help others around him, which was a challenge for him considering that he was persecuted for his beliefs.
RE - Summer 2
Celebrating the life of Mary and the Saints
We will know about the Church’s feasts in honour of the Blessed
Virgin Mary and understand why such importance is attached to them. We will
know that Mary and the saints enjoy the life of heaven and will also know some
of the Church’s prayers to honour them.
Belonging to the Church Community
We will know that a direct link exists between the teaching of the
Apostles, the role of the Pope and Bishops today and the faith that is nourished
and celebrated in the local parish community today. We will recognise that the
Church is a universal Church and that the life of the local parish is founded upon
the faith of the apostles and the universal Church.
