Whole School - Justice Days - 15th and 16th January 2025
Date: 16th Jan 2025 @ 3:03pm
The children have really enjoyed the past two 'Justice days'. They have focused on this particular house value and have taken part in a wide range of activities centred around the the theme of justice. Below is list of activities they have taken part in;
What is Justice?- First the children watched videos and learned about what Justice means. They then identified as a group what justice looks like in school, at home, in our communities and in the wider world.
St Oscar Romero- The children increased their knowledge about St Oscar Romero through different resources and created a fact file on his life focussing on his fight for justice. In KS1 the children found out about the significance of the Romero cross and the local people who make them in El Salvador.
St Mother Teresa- The children loved learning about St Mother Teresa and her selfless life and fight for justice. They took part in various debates and activities focussing on the timeline of her life.
DJ the Dolphin- The children had a little refresher on what the CAFOD character DJ the Dolphin represents within Catholic social teaching.
Justice circle- The children enjoyed circle time focussed on the theme of Justice.
Fairtrade Banana game- KS2 children learned all about fairtrade when selling bananas and took part in some intense discussions regarding pay for each group or person in the chain.
One for you, three for me - KS1 children took part in a craft activity to create their own ideal meal on a plate. They were then given a 'meal ticket' and many were shocked to discover that only a third of the class received would receive their own meal plate, the remaining children were entitled to a plate of rice. We talked about how this did not seem fair or 'just' but was something that is real for many people in our world.
P4C- The children absolutely loved taking part in the "Is it fair?" game. They also discussed and debated about Blind Justice.
Wordle- The children created their own wordles based around the word 'Justice'.
Music- The children listened to songs relating to justice and identified the meanings behind them. They also added in some of their own verses as well as actions.
Prayer spaces - The children participated enthusiastically in a range of reflective activities linked to our Justice theme which included: Scripture art based on Micah 6: 6-8 to 'Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly'. Creating a justice cross using relevant words, images and symbols that they had found out about. 'International injustice' station at which the children located places on a world map where the people living there may need our prayers for justice. We placed candles over these places and prayed together.
Prayer writing - discussing ideas together and writing our own prayers for justice.
Art - children across the school worked with Miss Crowley on a special Justice themed art project which will soon be displayed in school.
Y6 Visit - Lowe House Retreat Day
Date: 16th Jan 2025 @ 2:02pm
Year 6 visited Lowe House for a retreat day around the theme of 'caring for others'.
We had a fantastic day and really enjoyed all of the activities.
During the day, we learnt how important it is to look after and care for others as well as our planet. We also had the chance to look around the church and ask questions about anything we wanted to find out about.
At the end of the day, we looked at the story from the Bible when Jesus washed Simon Peter's feet. We discussed the meaning of this scripture and then had the opportunity to wash our hands whilst our friends dried them for us.
Year 1 R.E. Advent and Christmas learning activities
Date: 2nd Jan 2025 @ 10:53pm
During November and December Year 1 have enjoyed learning activities linked to our R.E. branch about ‘Prophecy and Promise.’
In our enhanced provision area, the children had the opportunity to choose some fun and practical tasks to reinforce our teaching inputs in class.
We have loved art work linked to the Bible story of the Annunciation when Angel Gabriel visited Mary with a special message.
We used paintings of this event, by different artists, to inspire us! The light surrounding the Angel was a special feature we noticed and recreated.
Other popular activities have been….
Playdough modelling of scenes and characters from the Nativity.
Sequencing of images to create our own mini Nativity books.
Drama and role play using our stick puppets.
Making our own Christmas card with the scene in the stable – complete with an opening door!
Card sorting activity – looking at images on a range of cards and sorting them into groups of those that retell the Nativity story and those which show other scenes of modern Christmas images.
Painting baby Jesus pebbles
We hope you enjoyed the special things that we made for you and brought home to share!

Rainbow Unit- Autumn Term Week 13
Date: 19th Dec 2024 @ 4:31pm
It’s has been a lovely week for the Rainbow Unit this week as we have had our first school trip. We are so proud of all the children, they coped well with the coach journey and enjoyed exploring all the different areas of the farm. Whilst we were there, some of the children enjoyed watching a magic show with the year 6 play leaders. They all enjoyed playing in the park at the end of the day and some were that exhausted from a day of fun that they fell asleep on the journey home.
This week we have also been continuing with our bucket therapy lessons. It has been lovely to see most of the children engaged during this session and showing their anticipation skills as we have been waiting to see what is next to come out of the bucket! We are also consistently using a communication board during this time when we are using the bubbles.
We will share the photos from our trip to the farm soon, you will be invited into school to see them along with photos of Christmas activities 😊
If your child has come home with any of our school spare uniform over the last few weeks, please could you send it back in to school.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!
