Year 6: If God was a...



In RE, Year 6 looked at the qualities of God across all religions. We then had a go at writing our own metaphors about God, thinking about words that we can use to describe Him. Below are just some of the metaphors we came up with:

"If God was a flower, He would be a sunflower because He shows you the light, brightens your life and makes you happy." Megan

"If God was a piece of jewellery, He would be a diamond necklace because He is precious, pure and stunning." Connie

"If God was a piece of clothing, He would be a shawl because when you are feeling unhappy or alone, He will put His loving arms around you." Hannah

"If God was the weather, He would be the sun because He brightens up the world." Ryan

"If God was a drink, He would be a fruit smoothie because it's refreshing and has all the best bits." Joe

Year 6: Rugby

Sporting their coloured rugby tags, Year 6 began their first of many rugby lessons with Mr Murphy, who is currently teaching rugby to a number of schools in the Upminster locality.

After a warm-up that put the children through their paces, our tag-tackling players worked on improving their attack and dodging skills through a series of games. The highlight for our budding rugby stars was an energetic game of tag bulldog; they can't wait to play again!

Our new found love for rugby couldn't have come at a better time; we are all looking forward to the start of the Rugby World Cup!

Welcome to the Year 5-6 Blog

We take school-home communication very seriously at Hacton Primary. Parents should feel confident that their children are getting the very best education in our friendly, nurturing environment. Children's successes should be celebrated so that they feel proud of their work and motivated to improve. Magical moments happen every day at our school and we hope that this blog helps to capture some of them
