HAPPY FEAST DAY!
Every year, parents are very generous with sending in gifts for staff and we are
always very appreciative of these acts of kindness. This year, however, we are well aware
that there are many people in our city that will struggle this Christmas. Instead of buying a
gift for the class teacher, we asked parents to donate a tin of food, a bar of chocolate
or a non-perishable item that we could donate to the Little Brothers of the Good Shepherd.
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our pupils and families, who donated a large amount of food for vulnerable people within our city.
This week the Head Boy/ Girl and Deputies gathered up all the donations and gave them to Brother Charles of the Little Brothers of the Good Shepherd.
Well done St Teresa’s we are very proud!
Year 5 arrived at school to find their Christmas Tree had been stolen!!!!
Luckily there were some clues left behind for the class to work out who the culprit was and save Christmas!
Pupils first planned what they needed to do by looking at the evidence that had been left.
They then predicted who the culprit was; measured the footprint and handprint using a ruler to the nearest cm (rounding) and then conducted a handwriting analysis to see who had written the ransom note!
Year 5 found out that the culprit was no other than…..
MRS WILCOX!!!!!The tables are set…
the music is on…
the smell of Christmas dinner is filling the air!!!
Pupils enjoyed an amazing Christmas Dinner this week! It was lovely to spend the afternoon with the pupils and share such a special meal with them.
St Lucy is Year 4’s class saint. Today, they celebrated her Feast Day with a lovely class Liturgy.
Saint Lucy
Whose beautiful name signifies ‘LIGHT’
by the light of faith which God bestowed upon you
increase and preserve His light in my soul
so that I may avoid evil,
Be zealous in the performance of good works
and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and
the darkness of evil and sin.
Obtain for me, by your intercession with God
Perfect vision for my bodily eyes
and the grace to use them for God’s greater honour and glory
and the salvation of souls.
St. Lucy, virgin and martyr
hear my prayers and obtain my petitions.
Amen.
Miss Morgan was in trouble in Year 4. Her class were writing on the tables in the lesson with whiteboard pens!! Tut Tut!
Luckily, this has really helped Y4 to improve their understanding of rounding numbers, and after lots of additional support, they have made great progress in rounding. (The pen also wiped off nicely with some anti bacterial spray! )
It’s Christmas Jumper Day!!!
Today, pupils wore their Christmas jumpers to raise money for Save the Children, so they can help children all over the world!
Here’s some amazing examples of what Save the Children can do:
- £2 could pay for hand sanitiser to help fight coronavirus in one of Save the Children’s medical clinics
- £6 could buy a face shield for a superhero health worker i n Yemen
- £10 could buy antibiotics to help five children beat malnutrition
- £20 could buy a back-to-school kit for a child in Indonesia
- £60 could buy toys and books to support children from struggling families in the UK
- £100 could buy a first aid kit for a health worker in Somalia
Well Done St Teresa’s!
Wow everyone! We achieved 100% attendance on the 10th & 11th December, this is incredible!
Children were treated to an early Christmas present to celebrate our amazing attendance.
This is the first time this year for 100% but it won’t be the last. Keep coming to school on time every day unless you are unwell. We are so proud of St Teresa’s.
