What a beautiful week we have had in school. This week we have celebrated world book day and as a school we all came together to join in prayer and Mrs Gregan did an excellent job of reminding us all that every book can take us on an adventure—but the Bible is our greatest adventure of all. Just like the heroes and explorers in its pages, we become brave, curious readers every time we open a book and step into a new story. When we read, we grow—learning more about ourselves, the world, and God’s love. So as we go forward, when we choose a story to read, we must remember that we are all readers with the power to imagine, discover, and shine brightly, just like the people of the Bible who listened, learned, and lived out their faith.
This week in our RE lessons we have reflected on Maundy Thursday and the significant actions of Jesus and the message he was sending us- his new commandment. We reflected on how his action of wasking His disciples feet was a way of showing all Chrsitians that we are here to serve and love one another, just as he served and loved us. This then linked beautifully to our child-led liturgy on Discipleship- a true reminder that we are all called to follow God and be ‘fishers of people’ …
Love Yourself Day …
What another beautiful day we have had in school for National Prayer Day, where we have truly celebrated the gift of praying, everything and everyone we love and of course, as we are raising money by walking to Nigeria during Lent, we have of course had our very own pupil giving us a talk on what Catholic life is like in Nigeria. Year 6 had lots of questions and of course we learnt so much- thank you so much.
We also loved making our spring time planter for someone that we love …
You are never alone when you are lost in a book…
We love World Book Day! Yesterday brought such happiness, laughter and excitement to the classroom. I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs from yesterday! We even did a short writing piece on a scene from Wicked, as part of our Classic Fiction strudy on ‘The Wizard of Oz’- can’t wait to read them!
We loved sharing the gift of reading with our lovely Reception buddies …
Where has our learning taken us this week?
We have got our fraction work up and running- simplifying fractions, comparing fractions and next week we will be adding and subtracting these fractions! In English, we have studied the meeting of Dorothy and Glinda- practisiong our dialogue writing and looking at how we can incorporate action and description in our reporting clauses. In music we have been noting the pitch on the song ‘White Cliffs of Dover’, continuing to explore sequence work on the apparatus in Gymnastics and much more!
Delving deeper through talk …
What was the deeper meaning behind the washing of the disciples feet?
My Happy Mind…
What are the benefits of writing down and practising gratitudes every day?
Leading Learners…
Well done to Isioma this week.
Isioma, you work tirelessly in lessons to be the best you can be and we love teaching you as you are always so focused and engaged. You are really becoming a reflective learner and respond excellently to feedback, as you always want to know exactly what you can do to improve. We have been so impressed with your confidence, knowledge and ability to talk to all the classes of different ages on a topic that is so close to your heart and something that you are passionate about.
Intentional and Prophetic stars
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intention in their actions. Children who make conscious decisions for the greater good. We will also be spotting children who are prophetic, who choose the right decisions with integrity and who display them publically. These children are the role models of the school. This week we thank Jacob for being intentional and prophetic to help others.
Helpers in the morning
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:
