This week we have heard the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man saw the poor man, Lazarus, outside his house. Lazarus would hope for the scraps the rich man would leave… This left us thinking… how do we help others? Would we watch others hurt, or would we try and help? Our children are full of compassion and have their sights set on helping others. Before our prayer and liturgies we have spent time saying prayers for people who need our prayers.
Going deeper in conversation
This week we have continued our Kidsafe lessons and have spoken about keeping our bodies safe. We all understand the 3 steps to keeping ourselves safe: Say “No” (we have enjoyed finding our voices by using our tummy muscles to say NO confidently!) Walk away, and finally tell a trusted adult. Please read the letter below to further support you child.
Question to ask: What should we do if we have Yukky feelings?
Magic moments
There are so many moments from the week! On Tuesday we watched our Year 6 friends share a special message all about being ‘bucket fillers’… following this, we have been busy filling each others buckets! So many moments are standing out when writing this, but I must say that a group of children came to ask if they could tidy our home corner, as is was rather messy. They took such care in putting our home corner right. This was absolute stewardship from our young children and their efforts did not go unseen. They were celebrated by us all as we thanked them for their efforts. Seeing their happiness, knowing that they had done a very good deed, was such a special moment. Thank you Year 1, you are just beautiful!
Let’s celebrate
A huge well done to Roxie who has been so caring and considered towards our classroom. Roxie you have have looked after God’s world each and everyday and we have been so full of happiness watching you be so responsible!
This week we also celebrate Eddie who has been a reflective learner. Eddie, you have taken the time to look closely at your work and think about how you could improve it. Your huge proud smile certainly showed why being a reflective learner is such an important skill. Well done!

Reminders
Homework and reading books -A huge thank you for the great success on Monday with the amount of homework books that were brought back with homework completed. We really appreciate your hard work, at home, as it really does have such a great impact. I look forward to spending time looking at all completed home learning next week (Monday) before sending them back home on Tuesday.
Forest school children - remember your change of clothes on Thursday. Spare trainers for climbing please! Not all children are attending forest school this half term. However every child will take part in a forest school take over day, this is where they will spend the entire day in forest school, how exciting! I will provide the date for this soon!
Coats - Please make sure you come to school with a coat to put on should the weather take a turn during the school day.
