Our children’s prayer and liturgy focused on Harvest, we gave thanks to God and prayed for a fairer world. The children were so thoughtful, it is such a blessing to see the children with such desire to lead in these worships, and doing so with great care and respect. We have also been listening to this weeks Gospel where Jesus told His disciples a story about a woman and an unjust judge. He taught His disciples and us that God is never like the judge, no matter how much we pray to God, he is always there for us.
In RE we have been learning about Laudato Si and how we can care for God’s world. The children were shocked to see some of the global issues our world faces and really want to know how they can help look after God’s world. After looking at the amount of trees that get cut down, we decided to help our wildlife and created bird feeders which we put in our forest school.
Going deeper in conversation
In our Gospel we have been thinking about prayer.
Question to ask: What does the word ‘prayer’ mean to you? What is your favourite prayer? Who could you pray for this week?
Magic moments
In search of the missing Evil Pea our wanted posters can be spotted all around our school! Hopefully we will soon track him down! We have been busy making predications what he might do next and have even began to create a story map to help us retell the Evil Pea story.
Book Look: I know the children loved spending time with you to share their learning so far. They have all had a fantastic start in Year 1 and it was a lovely time to celebrate their work ready for our parents meetings on Friday.
Let’s celebrate
A huge well done to Summer who was awarded our Star virtue this week. Summer you have had a brilliant start to Year 1 and all of the staff in Year 1 have noticed your learned and wise choices and your excitement for learning. You never give up and we are so proud of you!

Reminders
Parents meetings - Thank you for making your appointments, please email with your preferred time if you have not made yours yet. You will shortly receive an email with an invitation for the teams meeting ready for Friday next week.
Coats - Please make sure you come to school with a coat everyday to put on should the weather take a turn during the school day.
Water bottles - Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle. These are taken straight out of bags in the morning and children are able to access them throughout the day to keep hydrated. We are often talking about how important it is to drink plenty of water and water bottles make it easier for them to do this independently. Polite reminder that the water bottles should contain water and not juice. Thank you for your support.
Harvest - This year we are collecting tins of soup for the foodbank. All donations welcome!
