Hello,

We hope that you all had a fun filled half term it certainly seems so from the stories that we have heard this week. Rock climbing? Wow! So many of you seem to have experienced this sport this half term.

It seems that the children have returned to school really ready to learn and we have been delighted with all areas of their learning this week already. It is clear that you work so hard at home with your children so thank you and please keep it up. The children are keen to progress in their learning.

This Lent we will be supporting CAFOD as a school and raising money to increase awareness and support for people particularly affected by climate change. We will be thinking about how we can become better at looking after the world that God created. We have taken some really thoughtful ideas from the children today about how they could earn some money to bring to school this Friday. We will then be making our Lenten promises together. We will be thinking about the meaning of Lent and eating some pancakes!

The children suggested that they could raise some money to donate to our pancake event. They thought that they could wash up to earn some money, tidy up, put away shoes and coats, feed animals, polish shoes. Following a whole school collective worship one girl suggested that she could try her mums roast dinner that she usually refuses to eat!

We obviously would like to raise as much as possible for CAFOD and are delighted that the government will match every penny that we raise to donate. An excellent opportunity for some maths learning!

Thank you for all your support, be sure to find some photos here soon!

Shortly to follow – our new context home learning suggestions!
