The Final Week of a Very Busy Term!

Wow, what a term it has been! There has been so much book work, learning of new skills, getting to know new people and rekindling old friendships, as well as off-site trips, important Masses, and the selection of our new leadership team in Upper Juniors.

I have to say that the children have coped with all of this admirably. Well done to them all - it has certainly been a busy and demanding term!

We have worked hard during this final week as we completed our topics and enjoyed some extra time for our wonderful Black History artwork in the style of Kara Walker, who is famous for her striking silhouette designs.

We also came to the end of our English work on Leila and the Blue Fox, discovering that Leila's journey into the unknown was incredibly similar to that of the foxes as they travelled across the Arctic. The children have shown great understanding and insight throughout this unit.

In RE and PSHE, we have developed our knowledge of how we can practise our virtues in everyday life and make decisions for the Common Good. It has been encouraging to hear the thoughtful discussions and examples the children have shared.

In music, we have had great fun using a virtual piano, composing our own pieces and performing short recitals to the class. There were some wonderfully creative performances!

Thank you for all your support this term. Have a wonderful ten-day break. I hope you all have the opportunity to relax, refresh and recharge your batteries ready for another busy and exciting term as we begin the journey towards Christmas.
