Today we gathered together for our Holy Souls Mass. We prayed for those who have died and are in purgatory. Father explained the meaning of Holy Souls day and how it is a day of prayers and remembrance for the faithfully departed.
Immortal God, holy Lord, Father and Protector of all You have created, we raise our hearts to You today for those who have passed out of this mortal life. Amen
We were very lucky to have a visit from the West Midlands Fire Service this week.
Pupils learnt how the Fire Engine is used and the role of the Fire Fighters. They also heard about the dangers with fire and fireworks, ahead of Bonfire Night, and how to keep themselves safe. Pupils loved using the fire hose and seeing all the different parts of the fire truck.
Thank you to the Bilston Fire Station for visiting- we loved it!
Amazing athletic skills were displayed by our pupils this afternoon when they won the Multi-Skills competition at St Matthias! Pupils took part in a range of physical activities and displayed great skills and speed.
Well done to all our pupils who took part! #StTersasproud
In English, Year 2 have been looking at writing instructions based on their book – The Night Pirate. Yesterday, they made pirate hats by following a set of instructions and trying to be as accurate as they can!
Later this week they will be writing instructions on how to steal treasure from pirates.
Well done Year 2!
Well done to all our pupils who have worked so hard this week! Today we focused our certificates around Anti-Bullying and celebrated pupil’s acts of kindness that they have done this week.
This week, was Anti-Bullying Week! We launched our week with wearing odd socks to celebrate how we are all unique! Pupils have learnt all about bullying and how they can show kindness through their words and actions. They have learnt how to get help if they are bullied or if they see someone being bullied.
On Tuesday, Year 3, 4 and 5 took part in amazing drama workshops led by the Central Youth Theatre which focused on well being, positivity and kindness to encourage positive mental health, well being and resilience!

Our British Value focus for this term is the Rule of Law. This week, pupils in Key Stage 2 enhanced their knowledge of the world by taking part in a virtual trip to Parliament!
They learnt about how laws are made and who makes them. They also explored laws that can affect them and followed the progress of a Bill through the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
They were extremely lucky to have the opportunity to take part in a virtual debate and were joined by our very own Wolverhampton MP, Pat McFadden, for a special question and answer session. Pupils quizzed him on how laws affect our community and his involvement with how laws are made. We definitely have some aspiring future MPs!!
