Year 3’s Friday Assembly

On Friday 11th September everyone joined in in the Friday celebration assembly – from their different classrooms!

However, it was the turn of the children from Year 3 to have the assembly with Mr Hinton in the hall.  The children really enjoyed the assembly and celebrating the house points and the weeks achievements in school.

As we’re not able to mix classes together, having assemblies on a rota enables all of the children to have their turn in the hall for both Monday and Friday assemblies.

Stations of the Cross Assembly this morning

As part of our commitment this Lent to praying more, we will be praying the Stations of the Cross with the children each week.  This morning the children reflected on the first part of Jesus’ journey to Calvary, Mrs Hunt led the children in reflections on the first four, Stations of the Cross.  We will continue this journey in the next few weeks in the lead up to Easter.

Dan & Emily leading morning prayer

On Wednesday 5th March, we welcomed Dan and Emily from One Life Music into school for the day.  They worked with children from all our classes from Reception to Year 6.  The children took part in morning prayer together as a whole school.  After morning prayer Dan and Emily worked in each of the classes individually completing work on the Year of the Word before joining back together as a whole school at the end of the day for a closing liturgy.  All of the children and the staff enjoyed our first ever St. Chad’s Retreat Day.

The children showed their lovely artwork

Friday 6th of December was a  busy day for Year 3, having already sung at The Christmas Tree Festival in the morning, they had their class assembly in the afternoon.

The children had learnt about Christmas traditions from around the world.  They taught the rest of the school the different ways that Christmas is celebrated in different countries.

The children made Chinese lanterns.

Year 2 led the Advent Assembly.

On Friday 29th November Y2 led the whole school Advent Assembly.  The children told us about the Advent wreath and the weekly focus of each of the candles.  All the children and staff made Advent promises, Key Stage 1 hung theirs on a Christmas tree, whilst the rest of the school placed their promises in the empty manger.

Year 4 Class Assembly on St Vincent de Paul

On Friday 27th of September Year 4 celebrated the feast day of their Class Saint,  St. Vincent de Paul,  by leading an assembly for the whole school and their parents.

The children shared lots of information about the life of St. Vincent de Paul and why he is remembered today.  Lots of parents attended the assembly and everybody enjoyed it and learnt a lot about his life.

The children led the assembly confidently and wrote their own prayers to St. Vincent de Paul.
