The Year 6 Chaplaincy team and I were privileged to attend the Broxbourne Holocaust Memorial Service on Tuesday.  The theme this year was Bridging the Generations and it was a very moving tribute to remind us of, not only the original Holocaust 80 years ago, but the fact that there have been other genocides since.  Each person who attended received a candle to light at 8pm on Tuesday and put in a window as a tribute to all of those who died and a stone to add to the memorial in the garden.  

Chaplaincy felt that the pile of shoes on display as part of the memorial was a stark reminder of how people were treated as if their lives were worth less than the shoes they wore.

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed Art Week this week.  The topic this time was expressing ideas through drawing, with a street art theme.  They've practised using one point perspective and scaling up before transferring these skills to their own designs.  Some pictures below but watch this space for final pieces.
