Year 6 pupils spent a rewarding lunchtime volunteering at the church hall soup kitchen in support of CAFOD. They helped lay tables and served homemade soup to parishioners and Father Damian, who praised their kindness and excellent manners.
Through this Lenten act of service, the children experienced how giving their time to others can be both meaningful and fulfilling.

In Year 3, we explored Palm Sunday in our RE lesson, learning about what happened and thinking about how the people in the crowd might have felt. To help us understand the importance and excitement of Jesus’ arrival, we recreated the scene by waving palm leaves and cheering together. It gave us a real sense of the scale of the event and was a very fun and memorable experience!

As part of Vocation Week, Year 2 and Reception were pleased to welcome our Parish Priest, Fr Damian, who spoke to the children about vocation and his own journey in answering God’s call. The children listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and learned how people are called to different roles in serving others

Today pupils who are making their First Holy Communion in June, made their First Confession at St Thomas More Church. Each child met with Father Damian and sat side by side with him to confess their sins and received a simple penance before being granted absolution. They then lit a candle in the church. The quiet service was attended by teachers and parents, highlighting the shared commitment of the school and parish to support our children as they prepare to receive the Eucharist for the first time.

Our Year 6 class is absolutely buzzing after raising over £400 today! As Mrs Machin said we are incredibly grateful for every single donation; it is a true testament to the wonderful school community we have here. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who contributed or lent a hand to make the day such a resounding success. The children looked fantastic in their green outfits, and it was the perfect way to celebrate a very happy St Patrick’s Day together

Year 6 had an exciting afternoon showing off our rugby skills. Both teams demonstrated great perseverance, teamwork and sportsmanship. One team made it through to the semi-finals, and we were thrilled to come away with second place! All of the children should be proud of their fantastic performance on the field.

Today for Science Week, we learnt about how people are helping to care for birds that have been affected by plastic pollution. The children reflected on this thoughtfully and showed great maturity when discussing the topic. They were able to recognise how the choices people make can have a positive impact on the world around them.

Our focus for Lent is ‘Option for the Poor and Vulnerable.’
In RE, prayer and liturgy, we have been praying for those who do not have enough food, a safe home, or access to education.Catholic Social Teaching reminds us that helping others is not only about giving money, but also about showing kindness, compassion and respect. Through our curriculum, we encourage our children to treat everyone with dignity and to care for those most in need.
