To learn, to love, to live
Earlier this term, children in year four took part in a national poetry writing competition promoted by Premier League Primary Stars.
Yesterday, we received a book bag packed full of poetry books in recognition of our entries. Well done, Year Four! We will have to wait and see whether our poems progress to the next stage of the competition. In the meantime, we can enjoy sharing our brilliant new books.
Year Two are very sad that their amazing display on Saint Teresa of Calcutta has been taken down. We are hoping to put their beautiful drawings up in the classroom. Meanwhile, the children have been inspired by the story of the Annunciation and they are now designing their own angels as part of an Art and Design Technology project. During your visit to the school to watch the children’s play on Thursday 13th December, please do take a look at our finished display of angels which will accompany the Angelus prayer in the dining room. We look forward to seeing you all then.
On Thursday, Year 1 and Reception joined together for a very special afternoon. Over the past four weeks, Year 1 have been writing stories based on ‘It’s My Birthday’ and, once they were finished, were able to go and read their versions to Reception. Year 1 were extremely proud of themselves and all of the hard work that they had put in. Reception were very excited to listen to their stories!
Reception were so inspired by the Year 1s that they had to tell us the story of Mr Wiggle and Mr Waggle. Year 1 agreed that they were fantastic!
Perhaps at the next Sharing Friday, you might like to come and look at all of the children’s fantastic work and effort!
O my Divine Saviour,
Transform me into Yourself.
May my hands be the hands of Jesus.
Grant that every faculty of my body
May serve only to glorify You.
Above all,
Transform my soul and all its powers
So that my memory, will and affection
May be the memory, will and affections
Of Jesus.
I pray for You
To destroy in me
All that is not of You.
Grant that I may live
But in You, by You and for You,
So that I may truly say,
With St. Paul,
“I live – now not I –
but Christ lives in me”.

A big, big thank you to all of the Y6 children and parents for your generous gifts, cards and kind words for Baby May. My husband and I are truly grateful. I have promised the children that I will bring her/him in to meet them at some point after Christmas.
I wish all of the Y6 children the best of luck for the rest of year.
God bless.
Mrs May
This week, we have been learning about the religion of Islam. Arafa brought in her prayer mat and taught her friends about the way in which she prays five times every day. Arafa taught us all a huge amount about how Muslims pray.
As part of their learning about Signs and Symbols, the children created some beautiful baptism candles and thought very carefully about the signs and symbols that were meaningful to them. Well to everyone.
Everyone worked hard to find out about the science of sound. Working in groups, the children planned and presented a short TV programme to share what they had learnt. We all enjoyed watching our videos afterwards.
