On Thursday, some children from Year 5 went to celebrate Mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral. The mass was led by Archbishop John Sherrington and was to celebrate all the work done in raising money for Nugent Care.

 

As part of our RE topic, ‘Dialogue and Encounter’ we visited church.  We listened to a Gospel reading and learned about how the church family gather together to pray and to celebrate the Eucharist.  We talked about how were are all friends of Jesus and how to follow his example.  The children…

In our topic ‘Dialogue and Encounter’ we have been learning about our neighbours near and far.  We have learned about Peter and Paul who travelled to tell everyone about Jesus.  Today we tried to be like Peter and Paul and spread the news the ‘Jesus loves everyone - Jesus loves you!’  We drew a…

Last week, Y5 had an excellent time at St Joseph’s Prayer Centre.

The children took part in a range of workshops celebrating differences and recognising the qualities in each other.

This week we have started our new RE topic, 'Dialogue and Encounter'. Today the children have been talking about Jesus's friends and remembering different Bible stories where Jesus showed kindness to others. We placed our photographs with Jesus and His friends to show how we are all friends of…

Year 1- RSHE- Who is My Neighbour? 
 

The children listened to the story of The Good Samaritan and talked about who their neighbour is-everyone! We made paper chain people and thought of ways we can help our neighbours.

In R.E, the children were given the dilemma about whether they should become a disciple or not.

The classes formed an alleyway of believers and non-believers. Children then walked down and listened to the points of view of others to help influence their final decision.

The children have visited our Church to look at the beautiful Easter garden. We talked about Good Friday and Easter Sunday and the children remembered how Jesus died on the cross then rose again. The children spoke about what they could see and we said a thank you prayer to God for giving us…

Using small world play, we told the story of Jesus’ last supper with his friends.  We discussed the words of Jesus to do this to remember him and how many people remember Jesus this way at Mass.  We also talked about Good Friday and how it was a sad day but a good day.  After looking at hot cross…

We made palm leaves in our key person groups and used small world figures to retell the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem, a story that we remember on Palm Sunday.  Different groups of children chose to recreate this story during their role-play throughout the few weeks leading up to our…
