November 2024

All children watched CAFOD's Advent National Assembly. As the season of Advent begins, we are reminded to be ready and prepared for when Jesus comes. All children took home an Advent prayer card as a reminder that we are getting ready to welcome Jesus in to the world.

Our Faith in Action Team have been busy preparing Advent resources to use in school and at home.

As part of our UK Parliament Week activities, we welcomed Minister McKinnell to school. She talked to us about the role of an MP. The children loved hearing about what she does and asked some excellent questions to find out more!

At their meeting tonight, our Faith in Action team worked hard to plan an Act of Worship. Over the coming weeks they will spend time in every class leading the Act of Wordship they have planned.

Year 1 and Year 6 had some special friends time, this afternoon! They worked together to created some decorations for the Gosforth Shopping Centre. They are looking forward to finishing them next week!

Everyone was very excited to have a visit from Pudsey Bear! He loved hearing about our plans to support Children In Need on Friday!

Year 1 created some beautiful artwork for Remembrance Day. They learnt about the importance of the poppy in remembering those who gave their lives for us.

Some of our Faith in Action team, along with other members of our school family helped lead the Remembrance Service after mass, at Sacred Heart.

In November, we are focusing on Stewardship for our Catholic Social teaching theme.

The Mini Vinnies met in school today to prepare for BBC Children In Need They worked together to create some wonderful posters to advertise this brilliant cause.
