Book Fair - today!
To remind you, it's our book fair this afternoon at 3:30pm, in the school hall. There will be lots of fantastic books on offer, so head down after pick-up, to have a browse. You may be able to get a bit of early Christmas shopping done!
Hate Crime Awareness
In support of the National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we are grateful to PC Boyle, who joined our KS2 children on Thursday, to help raise awareness of hate crime. We discussed what hate crime is, and how we can work together to put a stop to this in our world. The children found this really informative and are now empowered to make sure they stand up to any hate crime they witness in the wider world.
Michael Rosen competition
Well done to the children who wrote and entered funny poems for the Michael Rosen competition! We were thoroughly entertained by your lyrical talent and wild imaginations!

BBC 500 Words creative writing competition returns for children across the UK
St Francis Class (Nursery / Preschool)
This week in St. Francis Nursery, we have had a wonderful time in the kitchen baking our very own autumn hedgehog bread! We carefully shaped bread dough into little hedgehogs, adding raisins for eyes and used scissors to snip "spikes" into the backs. The finished bread looked (and smelled!) amazing!
St Bernadette Class (Reception / Y1/ Y2)
We have been using nature to learn lots - both indoors and out! Our reception pupils have been making patterns with natural materials, and we have all been doing lots of writing based on our book, 'Pumpkin Soup'!
St Patrick Class (Year 3/4)
In St Patrick's this week, we have been thinking more about the sacrament of Baptism as a way of welcoming someone into the Church's family. On Thursday we were able to perform our own mock baptism and use oil and water to bless the baby. The children really enjoyed finding out more about what happens at a Baptism and thinking about the vows and promises made. Well done everyone.
St Therese Class (Year 5/6)
In RE, we thought about what St Therese teaches us about the Kingdom of God. We linked our class saint knowledge with our RE topic. She teaches us to be trusting of God and that her Little Way of doing small acts with big love helps to create the Kingdom of God for people around us. We made Little Way board games where the aim is to collect as many St Therese flowers by doing good acts as possible!
