HAGLEY CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

Hi Year 6,

We hope you are and your families are well and have enjoyed a lovely half term in this glorious sunshine.

We hope that you have received your sunflower seeds and have managed to see some of the videos that we have posted on our website for you.

We hope that you are all getting excited about joining us at Hagley, having your new uniforms and meeting your year group. Obviously transition is a little different this year so we have tried to come up with lots of activities for the next few weeks to help you start to feel part of our Hagley family

and to answer some of the questions you may have.

Teacher:

Everyone:

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are united to his passion, death and resurrection, which give us hope of eternal life.

As we cross ourselves, let us say together:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
