Year 3’s lovely display
On Tuesday 31st October Year 3 led a very special Prayer Service in school.
The children prepared and read readings, prayers, performed a role-play, played musical instruments and created a lovely prayer display to honour Our Lady on the last day of one of her special months – October.
Well done everyone from Year 3 for leading such a lovely service.
Our winners!
On Wednesday 18th October we congratulated our spelling winners for this half term!
Each week the children are given 5 or 10 spellings to learn ready for test a week later, if the children get full marks they receive a raffle ticket to put in the spelling jar and each half-term the winners are drawn and win a £5 gift voucher!
Well done this half-terms winners!
Year 3 and 6 in their Prayer Partner Gathering
On 18th October Year 3 took part in the Prayer Partner Gathering that they had independently prepared for their Prayer Partners in Year 6.
The children in Year 3 created a beautiful display as well as choosing the prayers, songs and creating a PowerPoint on the theme of Mary and reminding us of the values of Eloquent and Truthful which are our focus this half term.
Year 6 really appreciated all of the effort that Year 3 had gone to making the gathering really special.
Well done Year 3!
Year 1 at the Zoo!
On Tuesday 17th October Year 1 visited the Zoo in Dudley.
The children enjoyed looking at the Castle, all of the animals and learning lots of information to help their topic work.
Everyone had a fantastic time!
Year 5’s beautiful display!
On Tuesday 17th October it was Year 5’s turn to lead our whole school Mass.
Before Mass, as we are in the month of October, the whole school prayed a decade of the Rosary together.
Year 5 prepared Mass beautifully, they read clearly, acted sensibly and prepared a beautiful altar display.
The children also reminded us of the values of Eloquent and Truthful which we are looking at this half term.
Following Mass the Catholic children from Year 6 received the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The visiting teachers in the assembly
On Friday 13th October we held a special International Link Celebration Assembly to say goodbye to the teachers and Headteacher who are visiting from SP118 school in Poland.
During the assembly Year 6C acted out the new story we are sharing with SP118, Year 6M spoke about what they are grateful for, Year 4 sang, Years 3 and 5 shared posters that they had created and Reception shared a dance – Photos are on our Special Events page.
At the end of the assembly the teachers and Headteacher spoke about the wonderful week we have shared together. We all agree that the link we have with SP118 is special – every child in the school now has a Pen Pal in SP118 who they video link and write letters too!
We are all very grateful that our link is so strong and pray that it continues to grow.
Year 5 during their Mediation Liturgy
On Friday 13th October Year 5 prepared a special Meditation Liturgy for our Polish visitors.
During the Liturgy the children prayed for people all around the world, prayed for peace and also prayed that our visitors would have a safe journey home later today.
The children and visitors took part in a guided mediation, thinking about meeting Jesus and what they would say to him.
It was a lovely mediation Liturgy which our visitors very much enjoyed.
The children during their special gathering.
On Wednesday 11th October Year 5 prepared a gathering for their prayer partners in Year 1.
The gathering was themed on the values of eloquent and truthful which we are focussing on the half term. The Year 5 children prepared the gathering completely independently by choosing the readings, display, music and they even created a special leaflet for their prayer partners.
Well done Year 5!
Our Polish visitors looking through children’s books!
On Friday 13th October two of our Polish visitors – Mrs Rotte the Headteacher of SP118 and Mr Bednarkiewicz, one of the teachers, spent some time looking at the children’s work and all of the activites which had taken place during Brilliant in Britain Week!
Mrs Rotte and Mr Bednarkiewicz really enjoyed spending time looking at the children’s books and all of the work the children have completed since coming back to school in September!
Mrs Kauser talking to Year 5 and 6.
On Friday 13th October Mrs Kauser kindly came into school to talk to all of the children about Islam.
Mrs Kauser spoke to the children from Nursery all the way through to Year 6 about her faith and shared a very informative PowerPoint presentation along with lots of artefacts for the children to look at.
Our Polish teachers also had time to attend one of the talks which they too found very interesting.
We are very grateful to Mrs Kauser for giving up her time to work with us today!
