Seeds and Gardeners
With the children moving into Year 6, a lot more responsibility rests on their shoulders. Being the top class in school, they are now expected to set an example to the younger children at Our Lady of Lourdes by demonstrating exemplary behaviour, manners and attitude to work and worship.
The Year 6 children also undertake the 'Seeds and Gardeners' programme where each Year 6 pupil is paired up with a pupil from reception class. The aim is to give the younger children a point of contact and make them feel safe by seeing a friendly face in the playground and around school.
During the year, Seeds and Gardeners undertake a variety of fun activities together, such as:
- reading books together
- playing together
- writing to each other
- drawing and painting together
- celebrating each others' achivements
