Mission Together

We raised £150.02 at our Harvest Celebration yesterday.

This money will be sent to Mission Together

Mission Together is the Catholic Church’s official children’s charity for overseas mission. It is the children’s branch of Missio.

Previously known as Holy Childhood, Mission Together has been working in Catholic schools and parishes worldwide since 1843, encouraging children to pray, fundraise and become missionaries themselves – children helping children.

Outdoor Classroom Day

Pupils from Classes 1,2 and 3 enjoyed a busy, action packed Outdoor Classroom Day today.

Outdoor Classroom Day is a global campaign to celebrate and inspire outdoor learning and play. On the day, thousands of schools around the world take lessons outdoors and prioritise playtime. In 2017, over 2.3 million children worldwide took part, more than 580,000 of those were in the UK and Ireland. 

Outdoor learning improves children’s healthengages them with learning and leads to a greater connection with nature. Play not only teaches critical life skills such as resilienceteamwork and creativity, but is central to children’s enjoyment of childhood. 

Our children worked with staff, parents and governors to take part in a range of exciting outdoor activities.

 

 

Fire Safety

Fireman Lee came in to work with Classes 2 and 5 this morning.

In Class 5 we thought about Fire Safety plans and talked about what to do in the event of a fire.

We created plans for our own houses – after school we will be sharing these with our families.
