This week’s liturgy and reflection has been focused around the word ‘stewardship’. On Wednesday, through the Wednesday Word, we first heard this week’s gospel, Luke 16:1-13, where we hear the parable of the dishonest steward who serves a lesson in using worldly resourceswith shrewdness but more importantly it teaches us an important lesson that one cannot serveboth God and money. We then reflected further in our liturgy on Thursday, looking at how our choice shoudl always be God over anything and serve him faithfully, by being stewards and not being wasteful. We reflected on how we can serve others in our roles around school and how we can put others before ourselves.
Thank you to the following children who led us in a beautiful liturgy earlier this week. The children led us through deep prayer and reflection…
Collaboration is key - especially in Year 6! This week we have collaborated and shared in every lesson - this has helped us to learn from each other. We have collaborated in our PE playing games of cricket, in our practicing of the assembly and most importantly getting to grips with our new roles around school . Alongside this, we are striving to be learned and wise, learning about the world around us and using what we have learnt to make changes where needed. Here is a snapshot over the last couple of weeks …
This whole notion of collaboration will stand us in good stead as we move forward as a class. Earlier this week they each received their positions of responsibility and what a great start to the year they have made! They came back to school on Tuesday ready and raring to go and they have worked together beautifully, what a team they make. It was so wonderful to see how they each celebrated one another! You will see this in full force on Tuesday 23rd September 9am for our class assembly. Please make sure they are practicing their lines and song for next week- thank you.
Message from Mrs Gregan
Whenever we start a new school year, we always have to migrate pupils and staff into their new class. This year, the technology that we use to do that has not been as successful for the teachers as it has been for the pupils. As a result, we have lost access to the Parental Consent forms that so many of you filled in prior to Induction Night. These have been deleted as groups have changed. Please can you spend another 5 minutes completing the consent form again this weekend. We are really confident with the information that we gathered before the forms disappeared, we just want to double check and make sure all information gathered is 100% correct. There was still some outstanding forms to be completed too. We are really sorry for the inconvenience and really appreciate you spending a little bit more time to ensure everything is as it should be.
This week, we have done our second kidsafe lesson. This week it was all about the nature of bullying. We learned the acronym STOP Several Times on Purpose. We thought about how bullying can make us feel and what to do about it. Please read the following letter to find out more information:

Learning and Wise Stars
This half term we will be on the look-out for all the children that are learned in their actions, finding God in all things. Those who are wise, who use their learning for the common good. These children are the role models of the school, who drive their own learning and who have the wisdom to know when and how to apply one’s learning. This week we thank Finley for working for the common good of our classroom this week.
