How we live out our mission

On Monday 3rd December, pupils came to school dressed in purple to mark the start of Advent. We held an Advent craft afternoon where we made items related to Advent in classes.

A teacher from St Thomas Aquinas Secondary School came in to work with our choir who will be performing in an evening of carols and reflection. We are looking forward to hearing their beautiful voices.
Choir Singing at the Christmas Fayre
Well done to all the members of our school choir who sang at our Christmas Fayre. Look out for them at the Royal Orthopeadic Hospital next week when they will be singing carols for the local community.
Christmas Fayre
What a lovely time we had at the Christmas Fayre on Saturday. Our school community gathered together for carol singing, festive activities and festive food. Thank you to our CHAPS group for helping to run the event.
The Big Sleep
Members of our CHAPS group organised 'The Big Sleep' to raise awareness of homelessness in our city. Parents and children spent the night sleeping in the school playground on a cold November night. They raised money and donations which they took to the Fireside Centre and Tabor House.
Red Wednesday
We celebrated Red Wednesday by wearing an item of red clothing to school to raise awareness of persecuted Christians across the world. We learnt about what persecution means and why some people suffer for their faith beliefs. We prayed for all those who suffer across the world.
Year 3 Inspire Workshop
Year 3 were joined by their parents and family members for their Inspire workshop. We learned about the Sacrament of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. Thank you to all those who braved the wet weather; we hope you enjoyed your afternoon.

It has been a very busy week selling cakes and collecting shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. The School Councillors and Liturgy Leaders would like to thank all those who supported the project. We collected 55 shoe boxes and raised £56.00 – Fantastic!

Lest we Forget
Mrs Parker created a beautiful display to help us to remember those people who have lost their lives due to war.
Selling Poppies for Remembrance
We sold poppies and other items in school to raise money for the Poppy Appeal charity. We prayed for those who lost their lives due to war.
Book of Remembrance
The children have been writing the names of people they want to pray for during the month of November. In school assemblies, we place the book of remembrance on our prayer table to remind us of all the people who have died.
Liturgy Leaders Service of Commission
We joined together with the Liturgy Leaders from other MAC schools for a special Service of Commission. We worked in mixed groups on a range of different prayer stations. We joined together in prayer and singing thanking God for the opportunity He has given us to lead the faith in our schools.
Operation Christmas Child Assembly
Operation Christmas Child project has officially begun!
The School Councillors invited some guest speakers, from the charity, to tell the rest of the school all about this project.
Liturgy Leaders - Operation Christmas Child
Our Liturgy Leaders went to a workshop led by Opeartion Christmas Child. They learnt about how to support children in other countries this Christmas by filling shoe boxes of small gifts. They are now going to use their knowledge to promote this charity around school and encourage other children to get involved.
Rosary
During the month of October, we have been saying the Rosary in school.
Harvest Collection
A huge thank you to all of the children and families who brought in donations to the Fireside Centre. Mr O'Connor, a parishioner who volunteers at the Centre, has collected our tins and packets and delivered them. These will go to help the homeless in our city this winter.
Year 3 Baptism
During Year 3's R.E lesson, Mrs Goodes came to visit with baby Annabel. She told us all about Annabel’s Baptism. She was so impressed with our knowledge. We were able to tell her what we knew about the Oil of Chrism, the God-parents, the Baptismal Candle and the White Garment.
It was lovely to meet Annabel and hear about her special day.

We welcomed Teresa Clements from Fr Hudson's Society to our school. Teresa led a special assembly where she told us about a new project which we will be involved with. We learnt about refugees and how they have to leave their homes to start a new life. We will be working with Fr Hudson's in supporting Sophia House.
Year 6 Inspire Workshop
Our parents joined us for our Inspire Workshop linked to the Sacrament of Confirmation. We worked together to explore the seven Sacraments as well as the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Hednesford Pilgrimage
Our Year 6 pupils joined with pupils from schools in our parish on a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Lourdes shrine and Church in Hednesford. We listened to Father Cecil and Father Jeremy talk to us about St Bernadette and what it means to go on a pilgrimage. We celebrated Mass in the Church and took part in praying the Rosary.
Adoremus
We joined together with our friends from across the Archdiocese in taking part in Adoremus 2018. Father Cecil brought the Blessed Sacrament over to our School Hall and joined us as we watched Archbishop Bernard lead us in prayer and reflection. We joined in with the special hymns we learnt and prayed in silence before Jesus.
Our Lady's Birthday
We celebrated the birthday of Our Lady with a special service of reflection. Each class produced some work about Mary which we presented before the statue of Our Lady. We said prayers and sang hymns to remind us of how special she is to us.
May Procession
The sun shone as we joined Father Cecil to celebrate our May Procession. Children in Year 3 brought flowers to lay before the statue of Mary. After Mass, we all processed into the playground where we gathered around the statue of Our Lady. Father Cecil led us in prayer and song as we reflected on the importance of Mary in this month of May.
The Angelus
Every day during May, children in key Stage 2 have been saying the Angelus prayer to remind us of how special Our Lady is to us.
