Book Swap Event

The children designed posters for our Book Swap Event and put them up around school.  

       

Our Easter Gardens

The Charity Champions made Easter gardens for each class in the school. They wanted to make sure that every child fully understood the Easter Story and that there was no better way than having a real garden in classrooms as a reminder. Class teachers added flowers and plants to their gardens and made them unique for their own class. Children reflected as they were told each part of the story. The children in Year 2 wrote prayers and lit the candle. 

Once again, the children made Easter cards and we bought Easter eggs to deliver to our housebound parishioners.  

                                           

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas 2024

Shoe Box Appeal

The Charity Champions helped Father Philip to collect items for the Shoe box appeal at Church. They enjoyed sorting them into the different categories. Our parents are always so generous.  

Mrs King took the school choir along to a local care home and sang Christmas Carols. 

Christmas Lunch for the parishioners

The children also helped to serve parishioners at Church with a hot lunch and even performed a few carols for them! The children lit up the room and brightened up the day! 

 

Christmas Card deliveries

The Charity Champions delivered Christmas cards to local housebound parishioners.  

    

 

   

Christmas Stocking Competition

We sent out Christmas stockings for the children to design and colour. We asked for 50p to enter and the winners received chocolate selection packs. All monies raised went to Cafod World Gifts and we were able to buy a £70 stocking.  

 

 

Fundraising

We also raised money for Zoe's place through a non-uniform day and raised a huge  £1772.25! 

Advent 2024

We posted daily challenges throughout Advent on our whole school dojo. Travelling nativities went home to Reception and KS1 

Here are some gorgeous pictures from Mr William’s class.

  

A Special Visit

 

Bishop Tom Neylon visited our school on Wednesday 20^th March as part of his diocesan work. He joined our Key Stage One assembly and spent time in all the Key Stage Two classes, where he kindly answered the children's questions, ranging from what it is like to be a bishop to what football team he supports! Some of our older pupils were intrigued by the large gold cross that Bishop Tom wore around his neck and couldn't quite believe it when Bishop Tom happily allowed them  to hold it, while he told them about the details engraved on it- linked to the Gospels. It was a real honour to have Bishop Tom with us for the day and we would like to thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit our school. 

 

“Always be kind”

Our Charity Champions meet weekly after school to discuss concerns they have identified within our school or community. They initiate plans on how they can actively go out and help others. Charity Champions take part in Christmas/ Easter deliveries of handmade cards and gifts to local housebound parishioners. They organise collections for food banks and women’s refugee centres and have been involved in organising Christmas collections of toys and pyjamas for local families in need. The children are always willing to help with our Liturgical Year display in school and have been part of designing and making displays in Church too.  Most importantly, the children are wonderful role models for children in our school.
