Year 3 and 4 pilgrimage to St Dunstans Church
Year 3/4 went on a pilgrimage to St Dunstan's in Southborough on Thursday this week as part of our Pilgrims of Hope Jubilee Year. We looked around the church and talked about the key features, such as the Stations of the Cross and the tabernacle. There was a beautiful memorial to Pope Francis and we said some prayers for the Holy Father and for ourselves. We finished with the Jubilee prayer and some of the members of the congregation who were there joined in with us. It was lovely to share some time in the church and a very special experience.
Remembering #PopeFrancis letter addressed to us all, asking us all to listen to the "cry of the earth and the cry of the poor". Laudati si on today WorldEarthDay Eternal rest grant onto him Lord.

Hail Mary full of Grace. Today we celebrated the Feast of the Rosary in our lessons. Thank you to Mrs De Guzman who is leading the Rosary with some of our children at lunch time during the month of October.
St Patrick wonderfully led this week’s UKS2 phase assembly. The children planned and delivered the assembly independently! They chose to share the Rosary and the mysteries of Jesus’ life and the importance of this during October.

This week is Children’s mental health week and the theme is My voice matters. Today we talked about the things that mattered to us and wow I learnt a lot from these children - snuggles, bedtime stories, getting logs for the fire, planting bushes and so much more! Really insightful, taking the time to listen.
We were excited to read about an Art exhibition to depict multi-racial God though the Commision Newsletter. As a school with a wide range of diversity and culture we decided this was something we would like to include in our lessons.
The art exhibition looks at depicting God and characters from the Bible through different cultural and racial lenses and be held in Manchester in April 2024. Our own art exhibition will be at school in our school hall!
‘It’s time to tell the Christian story in art through a more global perspective,’ said Fleur Dorrell, co-manager of the Made in God’s Image: Art Matters project.
We talked about God’s image and how we would like to represent that through art. All children in the school embarked on how they would like to show the image of God using their own cultural background and diversity. Some children decided that Jesus would be in the image of themselves and others wanted to represent Jesus though nature, animals and our world.
Feast of the Epiphany
Reception, Year one and Year two performed the nativity this week and what a success it was! We sang, we dances, we spread Gods love all around.
