The Y3 children shared a thoughtful and reflective Celebration of the Word today with their families. They described their own personal journeys with their favourite interests; while acknowledging the supportive family members who guide them and share the joy of their experiences.
Year 2 Celebration of the Word
Year 2 has had an exciting and meaningful exploration of the different books used in church and in everyday life as part of our current RE topic, Books. The children discovered the significance of these books in our faith and how they help us grow in our understanding of God’s word.
The highlight of their learning was their excellent retelling of the story of Jesus’ Baptism. With great enthusiasm and confidence, the children shared this important moment in the life of Jesus, projecting their voices excellently and bringing the story to life for everyone to enjoy.
Mrs. McHugh is incredibly proud of the children for their hard work, dedication, and effort. Their ability to recall and share the story with such clarity and passion is a testament to their deep engagement with the topic.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support the children and make this event even more special. Your presence meant a lot to the children and added to the joy of the celebration.
As a well-deserved treat for their hard work, the children enjoyed some biscuits back in class, sharing their excitement and reflecting on the celebration together.
A Prophecy Predicted – KS2
Our Key Stage 2 children have been working hard rehearsing A Prophecy Predicted, written by the talented Mr Richardson. This week, they finally got the chance to show off their hard work and perform for their families in our school hall.
The children were absolutely wonderful! They raised the roof with their beautiful, joyous voices. Our brave soloists and narrators were brilliant too. What a performance! We are so very proud of each and every one of them.
Hey Ewe!
This Christmas, the infants delighted audiences with their heart-warming and humorous performance of Hey Ewe! – a fresh take on the traditional Nativity story, told through the eyes of an excitable and curious young sheep.
The youngest ewe in the flock, full of questions and boundless energy, charmed everyone with her inquisitive nature. While the rest of the sheep were happy to stick to their routines, she found herself drawn into the extraordinary events surrounding the birth of Jesus. From shepherds and angels to a very special baby, her curiosity led the audience on a magical journey, reminding us all to see the wonder of the Nativity with fresh eyes.
The children shone on stage, their enthusiasm and joy capturing the true spirit of the season.
A huge well done to all the children who worked so hard to make this year’s production a success. Merry Christmas!
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Some of the Year 4 children made their First Reconciliation yesterday evening – they were a little nervous initially but came away from their chat with Fr Bill full of smiles. We were all so proud of them!
Pyjama Day
The Mini Vinnies organised a Pyjama Day to raise money for Norah’s North Pole and South Tyneside’s Nightwear Before Christmas appeals (see letter below containing additional information about the appeals).
The day was a huge success, with children and staff donning their PJs and loungewear for the event. It was made even more special with a surprise visitor, watching the EYFS and KS1 Nativity Dress Rehearsal and Christmas lunch.
The children raised £168.00 which was to be divided equally between the 2 appeals. Thank you so much for your generosity!
Mini Vinnies Christmas 2024 Fundraiser Letter
The money raised for the Nightwear Before Christmas was used to buy pyjamas for elderly people in hospital – here are some of the Mini Vinnies wrapping the gifts.
Y1’s Christingle Celebration
Year 1 explored the story of the Christingle and created their own as part of our Advent preparations. We began by learning about Bishop John de Watteville, who shared the first Christingle with children in his village to teach them about God’s promises.
Through the story, we discovered that:
- The orange represents the world, created by God and full of goodness.
- The red ribbon wrapped around the orange symbolises God’s love encircling the world.
- The four sticks symbolise the four seasons, and the treats on them remind us of the gifts God provides.
- The candle signifies Jesus, the Light of the World, shining in dark places.
The children thoroughly enjoyed making their own Christingles, carefully assembling each part and reflecting on its meaning. We concluded our lesson with a special Christingle Celebration of the Word, where we shared the story of the Christingle and talked about how we can share God’s love with others.
The flickering light of the candles reminded us all of the importance of kindness and hope, especially during this season of Advent.
Year 5 Celebration of the Word
Well done to all the children in Year 5 for leading our Celebration of the Word this week. It was wonderful to have time to reflect on this special time of year – a time of waiting in joyful hope. You all spoke clearly and sang so beautifully. Well done! 
Year 3 Advent Drama- Preparing For the Visit of Jesus!
After reading scripture from the prophet Isaiah, Year 3 have been working in drama groups to demonstrate how we should behave during Advent, as we prepare for Christmas. We explored and depicted giving alms to the homeless, looking after the elderly, praying regularly to talk to God, showing love in our friendship groups and showing understanding with our friends. All of the children collaborated and showed excellent oracy skills with their friends.
Whole School Celebration of the Word
Year 4 enjoyed sharing their class Celebration of the Word with parents so they decided to share it with their peers in school as well.
