Spring 1, Week 4, Friday 30th January 2026
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.
