Our Year 3 and 4 children had a workshop today about the Catholic Social Teachings. The children were spoken to about CAFOD and a little about the work they do. They watched a short video about a letter written from Pope Francis about looking after and loving our brothers and sisters. We looked at four of their nine principles – Taking part, Putting people in most need first, Thinking of everyone and showing we care. The children read through some scenarios and decided which scenario was relevant to the nine principles. The children shared some great ideas.
Today as a school community and a country, we mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her commitment to the service of this country was evident till the end, and her reign is something we will never see again.
As a school, we marked her passing this morning with a special assembly and children will spend the day remembering and celebrating her reign as our Queen.
Father Mark visited Year 4 to support them with their current RE unit around vocations. They had lots of questions for him about his work in the community and his calling to be a Priest.
What a wonderful Feast Day we have had, and what a great job raising money for mental health charities while boosting our own wellbeing and mental health.
As always, thank you to our families and the wider community for making this such a special event.
The weather couldn’t spoil the Crowning of Our Lady and our May Procession earlier today on Wednesday. Thank you to our families for sending flowers and plants to make our annual tradition a very special service indeed. Year 6 led the service beautifully with readings and prayers and the glorious singing was incredible. Thank you Father Mark for coming to share this with us today.
Congratulations to the children who received their their First Holy Communion on Saturday.
We are very proud of you all.
Congratulations to our Year 6 children last night who took park in their Sacrament of Confirmation at St Michael’s Church. This was a lovely evening, supported by the children’s friends and families. Thank you to Miss Higgins for organising this event.
Year 6 had a wonderful retreat day. They represented the school very well; through their eloquent ideas and contributions and their exemplary behaviour. They are growing closer to the Holy Spirit and demonstrating dedication to their Sacramental preparation. Well done, Confirmandi.
Yesterday it was World Religion Day! Following on from our assembly from Miss Higgins on Friday – where we celebrated and found out about all the religions in our school – we asked children to send in pictures celebrating their religion on World Religion Day yesterday!
