With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.

Travelling Crib

By

In Advent, as we wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Travelling Crib’.   Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.

This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.

Children in KS1 will bring home The Christmas Story, while children in KS2 will bring home a book called ‘When the Stars Shone Bright, A Christmas Tale’ telling the Christmas story from the perspective of the three wise men.

Exploring Baptism

By

The children in Years 1 and 2 recently visited St. Bede’s Church to learn more about the sacrament of baptism, which is an aspect of the Religious Education curriculum.

The children were warmly welcomed by Father Bill, who provided an immersive experience as the children learned about the significance of baptism in the Christian faith, as well as offering insights into the history and meaning behind the sacrament.

The visit not only deepened the children’s understanding of baptism but also fostered a sense of connection and community within St. Bede’s Church.

Father Bill’s visit to Year 5

By

Year 5 invited Father Bill into class this week to talk about the sacrament of marriage. We have been considering the big question “Is commitment important?” as part of our RE work.

We discussed the meaning of commitment and Father Bill explained the details of a marriage ceremony, including the promises made, the blessing of the rings and the nuptial blessing. We also discussed our favourite hymns and readings that might be used.

Year 4’s Celebration of the Word

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’ Celebration of the Word.

 

School Council Meeting 13th November 2023

By

It was lovely to welcome our new school councillors to their first meeting of the year. They had a very important job to do of picking new books for the school library using the reward points we received from the Book Fair. The children thoroughly enjoyed browsing the Scholastic website and picked a range of books from Harry Potter to Peppa Pig at Christmas. I’m sure that all of the children in school will appreciate and enjoy a new exciting range of books to choose from at reading time.
