Spring 2 - Week 6

This week, our star of the week focus is for trying hard in Maths lessons.

We have chosen Unika because she is putting a lot of effort in when learning about new topics and has tried harder with layout, remembering to use one square per digit in her maths book. Unika has been more consistent in finding the right measurements when looking at rectilinear shapes. She remembers to include units of measurement in her answers. She has been listening carefully in class and has done very well in working out the perimeter of shapes. Well done Unika 

Spring 2 - Week 5

This week, the focus for star of the week was someone who is able to talk about and live out the Catholic Social Teaching themes in their everyday life. 

Angel has been chosen, because not only is she able to speak about the Catholic Social Teaching themes, but she also demonstrates them in her everyday life.

She always shares with her friends, helps others in need and treats others with respect. She lends a hand to her classmates when they need help and she collaborates with others during group activities or school projects.

These actions reflect important ideas like the dignity of the human person, caring for our earth, and family and community.

Angel’s thoughtful behaviour makes the world a better place, which is exactly what Catholic Social Teaching is all about.

This week, the children voted for who should be this half term's Mission Statement Luminaire.
