Careers Week
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
We would like to express our gratitude to all the wonderful parents and carers this week who have inspired our children by giving talks about their chosen careers. We were amazed and delighted to hear about all the different jobs, skills and opportunities you have. We even made it on to the TV! https://twitter.com/StVincentsPr. The children have been relating their learning in school to different skills such as speaking, listening, aiming high, leadership, problem solving, creativity, staying positive and teamwork. The children know to choose a career they have passion for, and we know that whatever they decide to do in the future, they will continue to let their lights shine brightly and fulfil their dreams and the plan that God has for them.
History Enrichment day
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
Last Friday, our school celebrated History Day. Each year group was assigned a time period of history to study for the day. Children were able to fully immerse themselves within their time period through a range of cross-curricular English and maths and afternoon activities to celebrate their time period or topic. Children wrote non-chronological reports and diary entries, created posters and artwork and took part in enrichment trips, amongst many other activities, allowing history to come to life. It was wonderful to see all children expanding their knowledge and having a memorable day.
Wider Personal Development- Year 5 Robin Wood Residential
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
This week Year 5 went to Robinwood activity centre. The children went for three days and two nights. They had so much fun and enjoyed a range of activities including raft building, caving, piranha pool and team building activities.
During their time away, the children really bonded with each other and developed character building resilience by trying new and exciting activities. We are delighted to support children’s wider personal development in this way and I am sure they will fondly remember the residential for many years to come.
Thank you to all of the staff who took the children along and ensured a good time was had by all.
