Friday 2nd January - Number Day

On Friday 2nd February, we will be taking part in the NSPCC’s National Number Day alongside thousands of schools and nurseries across the UK. Across school, children will be taking part in a range of exciting maths activities, whilst raising money and awareness for the services provided by the NSPCC; these include Speak Out, Stay Safe and ChildLine.

As part of National Number Day, children are encouraged to ‘Dress up for Digits’. This means wearing something with a number on. This could be a something they already own such as a t-shirt or cap, or get creative and design their own clothing; some examples include becoming a human calculator or a dice. Please do not feel the need to purchase anything.

To support the work of the NSPCC, we ask that, where possible, a small donation is brought in with your child on this day.

World Religions Prayer Station Day

World Religions Prayer Station Day

On Wednesday 24th January, we had a prayer Station day in school.  During this day, the children engaged in activities related to World Relgions with a focus on prayer and beliefs.  The children were incredibly respectful and this was a great way for some children who are not Catholic, to share their beliefs with their friends.  We were also joined at the end of the day by parents who enaged in prayer alongside their children.
