  Year 5’s Faith Camp was held last week in glorious sunshine.       Alongside our Outdoor Mass (a first!) we used the outdoors all day to do fire cooking, problem solving, den building and art activities.

  Answer Sessions with Sir Chris Hoy

   

  Years 3 and 4 attended a question and answer session on teams with Sir Chris Hoy on Friday 23rd April 2021. He is a true inspiration! We learnt a lot about bikes, his books and getting to meet The Queen.

• FS children Walk for Water

  Tue 23 Mar 2021

  The children in classes 1 and 2 took part in CAFOD's Walk for Water Lent Appeal and raised a very impressive £73.92 to help end water poverty. 

  Last week Foundation Stage were learning about the importance of clean water for all. As part of our learning, the children produced posters to display in their windows at home and we also held a 'water race' to show the children how far some people have to travel to find safe drinking water and the quantity of water which many then have to carry back to their homes.  

  Well done and thank you!

• Whole School Mass

  Mon 09 Nov 2020
  On Tuesday 20th October we celebrated whole school Mass via Microsoft Teams.  The theme was being thankful for the new academic year and the joy of being able to be part of our school family.  Class 10 joined Fr Tom at St John The Baptist Church and led us beautifully with their readings.  It was a wonderful way to join together as a school community in prayer and reflection.  We would like to thank Fr Tom for all his support. 

• Overwhelming Response to Food Bank Donations

  Mon 09 Nov 2020
  We were overwhelmed by the amazing response we had for donations to Trowbridge Food Bank.  Thanks to your fantastic generosity, Mr Miller delivered 15 heavy boxes which equates to over 450 donations of toiletries and tinned food to the food bank.  Thank you all so much.
