Mass will be celebrated in school on Thursday 25th September, we will be welcoming Father Emmanuel on this occasion.
On Friday 3rd October we have lots of fun activities planned for the children including games, dance, art, Karaoke and ICT activities. Pupils should come to school dressed for P.E. activities. No football colours please.
One sponsor sheet per family should be brought in on the day with money in an envelope, only give what you can afford. All funds raised will go to support activities for our children. Please look out for a sponsor form in your child’s school bag.

Making Thinking Visible
We have been using a variety of Making Thinking
Visible strategies to explore the characters, main events and key themes within our novel “Wonder”. We especially enjoy debating some of these through a “tug of war”, where listening to the views of our classmates can often influence us to change our minds!
