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

Y1 Remember – Remembrance Day

By

Year 1 have been learning about Remembrance Day and why it is such an important time to pause and reflect. The children explored the meaning behind the poppy and how it reminds us of those who gave their lives for peace.

As part of our learning, the children created beautiful poppies and a class poppy wreath. We then used our wreath during a special Celebration of the Word, where we prayed together and shared a moment of silence to honour all those who have died in wars and conflicts.

It was a thoughtful and creative way for Year 1 to show respect and learn about peace.

Year 4 Celebration of the Word with parents

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.

Parents were invited into school to share in our Celebration of the Word as we celebrated God’s unconditional love and forgiveness.  At the end of our Celebration of the Word, the families were given a mission to show love and care for others, letting their light shine.  The children gave their parents a leaf on which to write (with their child) how they would follow our mission.  At the end of the COTW, parents were given a Good Shepherd’ prayer card to take home.

Y1 Celebration of the Word – Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43–48)

By

During our class Celebration of the Word, we listened to the Gospel reading “Love Your Enemies” (Matthew 5:43–48). We talked about how Jesus teaches us to be kind to everyone, even when it’s difficult. The children shared examples of how they can forgive others, use kind words, and show love just as Jesus does. We ended our celebration with a prayer asking God to help us love others the way He loves us.

Y3 Celebration of the Word

By

Year 3 enjoyed their Celebration of the Word together today. It was lovely to see the children offering each other the sign of peace ; and also being so determined to go on their mission to be kind to others.
