Today, we hosted out first session of the Family Numeracy Programme as part of a government trial to support better outcomes of pupils and raise confidence in parents understanding of maths.
The parents thought about how they had already used maths in their day and then worked with their child to make a ‘multiplication flower’ to support the child’s recall of times table facts.
Our Year 6 pupils deserve special praise for their Easter Story assembly. It was deeply emotive and thought-provoking, capturing the solemnity and hope of Holy Week with maturity beyond their years. Many staff and parents commented on how powerfully they undertook specific roles to convey meaning – well done to all involved.
Our Year 3 children led their Liturgy with a focus on Lent and why is it a sacred season of preparation. The children focused on the different days in Lent and what they meant to them and the church. We ended our liturgy think about how we could be more like Jesus which links to our Holy week sculpture which was about following in Jesus’ footprints.
On Wednesday, we had Lorna Catana from Magic Breakfast deliver two assemblies to our children. These focused on educating our children on what makes a health breakfast and the importance of this. We are very proud to be a partner of magic breakfast and strive to ensure all our children have access to a healthy breakfast in the mornings.
Lorna was very impressed with the children’s thoughtful contributions to the Magic Breakfast assembly and the warm welcome she received.
Nursery and Reception enjoyed sharing songs, poems and stories with their mums to celebrate Mother’s Day. They were then given a flower the class had grown and cared for, with a love heart and a copy of the poem they have learnt.
A lot of our families have been celebrating Eid, and on Friday we were very grateful to one of our members of staff – Mrs Shaikh, who delivered an informative assembly to our older classes around the traditions of celebrating Eid.
Thank you and well done to Year 1, who produced a wonderful and thoughtful mother’s day assembly! They children thanked their mums for everything they do for them and also thanked our Mother Mary, who was there for Jesus at such a difficult time in his life.
Thank you for all the families that came and supported their children today!
Here are the children that received praise for demonstrating the values of being attentive and discerning!
