Ash Wednesday
Today we received our ashes as a sign of the start of Lent. Here’s hoping we can all keep the lentern promises we have made.
Shrove Tuesday in Y1
We have been learning the meaning behind Shrove Tuesday and have discovered that we say sorry to God to be ‘shriven’. We then enjoyed delicious pancakes in preparation for Lent.
Working together to play games
In R.E. we have been thinking about things we do together at home and in school including how we support and encourage each other during these activities. Then we went outdoors to work together to play some ring games: The Farmer’s in his Den, Ring-a-Ring of Roses, Duck Duck Goose and Crossing the…
Year 3 Prayer & Liturgy
Today we had a wonderful ‘Prayer & Liturgy’ that was led by Lillia, Freya and Lacey. We have been learning about Jewish festivals and have focused on The Passover. They sympathetically planned around this independently and it was really engaging. Added to this we enjoyed listening to…
St Bridget’s Cross
Year 1 have been hearing the story of St Bridget this week and we have tried to weave a cross. It was quite difficult but with a little help we managed to make some stunning crosses.
Reception visit church
As part of our work on celebrations in R.E., Reception went to church to find artefacts that are used as part of a celebration. They found the different features in the church very interesting and found out some facts about them too.
Y5 Mass
We were so proud of Year 5 today as they celebrated mass with reverence and respect. We learnt that it was St. Vincent’s Feast day today! Keelan, Emily Whelan and Isabella did a good job with their readings and everyone sang beautifully. Well done Year 5!
Baptism

Y4 Monstrance pictures

Year 3 The Blessed Sacrament
Today Year 3 enjoyed visiting Church to see the Blessed Sacrament within the Monstrance. We enjoyed quiet reflection and prayer. We devoted time to Jesus and back in school further developed our understanding of the Eucharist.
Year 2 Shabbat
Year 2 have been learning about Shabbat this week. They have written a letter, a poem and designed an information poster. They think it is a great day because it’s a day of complete rest which means no homework.
Y5 Pray the Rosary
Year 5 have tried really hard to pray the Rosary each day and learnt about the Mysteries and how to use Rosary beads. They have also been saying the additional two prayers as requested by Pope Francis. We have really enjoyed this quiet time of reflection.
