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.

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 4 Ancient Greek Workshop from ‘That History Bloke.’
In History, the children in Year 4 are learning about the ‘Ancient Greeks’.
On Tuesday, they enjoyed a very interesting and informative visit from Richard, ‘That History Bloke’.
They explored:
Richard also serenaded the class with his lyre and panpipes and the children dressed up in the regalia of a Hoplite soldier.
It was a fantastic experience and Richard brought the topic to life with his amazing knowledge and enthusiasm.
, We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us.
