Our school community came together to reverently take part in our Remembrance Day assembly and two minute silence. Pupils laid their wreaths on our memorial alter and as they paused at 11 o’clock, their thoughts turned to those brave, loved men and women, both fallen and continuing to serve, who have made possible our peace.
At the going down of the sun,
and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget
Pupils celebrated Diwali with learning all about the religious festival. They also learnt why it is important to people of the Hindu, Sikh and Jain religions around the world and for the children and people in our community.
Students took part in traditional dance, painting diva lamps, creating beautiful rangoli patterns and learnt the story of Rama and Sita.
Students celebrated October’s Black History Month with learning about the amazing accomplishments of Black Britons throughout our history and developing our knowledge of the world. Pupils researched, read and wrote about a variety of key figures in our history; enhancing our personal aspirations for the future.
Each week we are wowed by the amazing achievements of our students! Some words used to describe the pupils this week are: ‘fantastic’, ‘amazing’, ‘excelled’, ‘impressed’, ‘determination’, ‘perseverance’. Well done all those students who we celebrated today.
Today, pupils had the opportunity to widen their knowledge and understanding of life in the theatre as well as finding out about the history of the pantomime. Performers from the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre visited St Teresa’s and gave pupils an informative dive into the life and workings of behind the scenes at the panto. Pupils enjoyed a fun workshop and were lucky to see a glimpse of the Cinderella panto that will be performed this Christmas!
A fantastic effort by pupils this week. Well done to all those who we celebrated for their excellent achievements! It is great to see pupils displaying the British Value of Democracy in their everyday lives! We were also impressed with the pupils who are trying hard to learn their timetables and are moving up the Times Tables Rockstars leaderboard.
We celebrated St Francis of Assisi’s Feast Day with a special liturgy led by Year 2. They taught us all about their class saint and our MAC saint- St Francis.
‘I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever’
Staff, parents and pupils donated a large range of food items to the school. The School Councillors then took all of the donations to the end of our school road (Malins Road) and set up a Pop Up Pantry for people in the community. People in the community were are able to take food items that they needed, and came together to share with others who weren’t physically able to get to the pantry.
