Children’s Mental Health Week 2023

By

Children’s Mental Health Week 2023 will take place from 6-12 February 2023. This year’s theme is Let’s Connect.

Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. People thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing.

During the week, we’ll have a special assembly from Bluejay wellness and we will be having a particular focus on connecting with each other during house meetings that week.

Y4 Class Liturgy

By

In RE, Year 4 have been learning about Reconciliation.  Some of the children have been preparing for their First Reconciliation.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates the fact that we are loved and forgiven by God and that when we say sorry to one another and experience forgiveness we are experiencing God’s forgiveness.

We all know that God loves us and is always ready to forgive us, no matter what.  His love for us is unconditional.  The children wanted to share this unconditional love and friendship with their families and friends in our ‘Lost Sheep’ Reconciliation Liturgy.

Year 6 Class Liturgy

Year 6 had the pleasure of inviting their parents into school to watch their class liturgy.

It was great to have everyone back into the school to enjoy a time of worship, reflection and prayer.

The children did a great job and particularly enjoyed the juice and biscuits afterwards!

Last week 12 Key Stage 2 children took park in a musical performance called, ‘Footsteps into Paradise’ in Durham Cathedral. The performance was an immersive musical and art experience, celebrating our togetherness as a Trust, enabling the children to explore their identity and spirit of community. Some themes of the show included; respect, belief, reality of war, remembrance, empathy, acceptance, equality and kindness. The children put so much effort into the rehearsals and sang so beautifully on the night.
