Easter cards for the SVP
The children created Easter cards for the St Vincent de Paul group to give to the parishioners who they will be visiting over Easter. Here are some of the pupils showing off the cards they have made.
Lent Prayer and Liturgy
Each class took part in a special Lent prayer and liturgy session. Year two learnt about the Easter Story through the eyes of the donkey who carried Jesus on Palm Sunday. As the children learnt about the different parts of the Easter story, they added a symbol to their donkeys.
Year One Visit to the Mosque.
Year One loved their visit to CMA mosque. Handwriting, studying the features of the mosque and learning about the pilgrimage of Hajj were just some of the things they learned about.
Stations of the Cross
Key Stage 2 children and staff attended church today and Father Tony led the children in a Stations o the Cross service. Team Benedict supported Father Tony by reading out prayers after each station.
Why do we not say Alleluia during Lent?
Alleluia means "Praise God". It is a special word that helps us joyfully proclaim that Jesus is risen. We are so happy that we want to sing, pray and shout the word Alleluia.
By not saying the word Alleluia for 40 days during Lent we will hopefully appreciate just how joyful the word is.
TEAM Benedict held an assembly on Shrove Tuesday for the whole school explaining this and then they put away the letters that spell Alleluia. We will get them out again after Easter and rejoice once more.

Prayers for Peace and Ukraine
The children spent the afternoon praying for peace around the world. The older children focussed more on Ukraine. We participated in special prayer and liturgy sessions, completed activities around peace and wrote prayers. The prayers attached have been placed around the outside of the school building. Children are encouraged to pray during their break times and parents are invited to join their children after school. :: Download the Prayer Posters ::
Looking back to when we celebrated Pentecost in May
The children had a great day celebrating the birth of the Church. We entered school through a big balloon arch, ate birthday cake, participated in special prayer and liturgy sessions and of course found out more about Pentecost,
Christmas cards for the SVP
All children in the school have made a Christmas card for the St Vincent de Paul (SVP) group to hand out to the parishioners they visit.
Advent Wreaths
Each class have been learning about what the various parts of the Advent wreath represent. Children have brought in evergreen from home and worked as a team to create an Advent wreath for their class. We will be using the wreaths during the coming days as we participate in our Advent journey.

Remembrance Day Parade
It was lovely to see so many of our children taking part in/watching Handforth's Remembrance Day Parade today, especially those representing the school. Brooke and Amelie were chosen to read the names on the war memorial and did us proud. It is the first time in many years that we have taken part and it was great to be part of this community event again.

All Soul's Day
On this day, we pray that all those who have died— our loved ones, and also those people around the world who we will never meet— through the mercy of God, will rest in peace.
The children placed photos of their deceased loved ones on our altar.

Rise Theatre Group
The whole school has had a fabulous day thanks to Rise Theatre group. We watched some great videos, learnt some songs, took part in a theatre production and completed lots of art and science activities. All of these taught us how to care for God’s planet.
Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:3

House Saint
The whole school met on the field today, in their houses, to learn more about their house Saint. The children also talked about the attributes of their Saint and how they can use those attributes to win this half term’s prize – a chocolate fountain party. We wonder which house will collect the most tokens.

Say No to Racism
St Benedict's says no to racism. Children have created messages of solidarity for the England players and have signed pledges to do their part to end racism. These have been placed along the school fence for everyone to see.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Part of a Community
In RSHE this half term Year 1 have been learning about the idea of community and what it means to be part of one. The children have discussed lots of different scenarios and recognised how they are part of many different communities.
We finished our learning by working together to create this piece of art which celebrates the importance of community in this piece of Scripture. They are so proud of their team effort.

Community Gardening
We have all come together as a community over the last few weeks to re-vitalise the long-forgotten space in the playground and Saturday 10th July saw a final push to create the special garden in memory of Isabel.
We are so grateful to the group of Tesco volunteers who came to school a few weeks ago to get us started. We have received grants from Equilibrium Financial Planning, The Beech Hall Trust, Tesco bag-for-life and Wilmslow Glass. One of pupils, Georgie Blaney, raised £1000 and another, Henry Pearson, raised £600 which is amazing.
Thank you to the parents and staff who came along and worked incredibly hard and to those who have pledged their time to help in the coming weeks.
The garden - Isabel's Area - will now be used by all pupils at break and lunch. We are really excited to build upon this hard work, and to spend the money we have been granted, to make this a really special place for our wonderful pupils.
Look what community spirit and a can-do attitude can do!

Crowning of Our Lady
This morning all of the children at St. Benedict’s gathered in their ‘bubbles’ to take part in the crowning of Our Lady. We listened to readings and prayers read by some of the children who will be making their First Holy Communion this year as well as Team Benedict. The ‘Elastic’ band, led by Mrs Thomason, played beautifully whilst the children sang. We were overwhelmed with the amount of flowers the children brought in to place around Mary.

Today all the children in St Benedict’s took part in a beautiful prayer trail where they reflected on the Easter Story. The children were asked to think about Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice by using beautiful items which symbolised each stage of his journey.

Some Easter activities
We have been celebrating Easter in many ways this week. Year 3 went on a nature walk and looked for new life as they have been thinking about Easter and Pentecost. They commented on how beautiful our school grounds are.
The whole school had a visit from Mrs Barrett and three of her lambs. The lambs reminded us about new life and how Jesus rose from the dead.
Many children have been wearing their Easter bonnets and we are very impressed with their efforts.

Marchbank Meadow
The sun was out so Year 6 headed to Marchbank Meadow to take some time to reflect and remember Mrs Marchbank and Isabel. We wonder if you can spot the single, beautiful red tulip amongst a sea of daffodils? We followed this with some philosophical thinking about taking the right path in life, and how this can be difficult sometimes.

Feast of St Joseph
Today (Friday 19th March) is St. Joseph’s feast day and we have been remembering him during our class collective worships.
St. Joseph, teach us to listen for God's voice in the silence of our dreams.
Help us to open the ears of our hearts, and respond to God's call, even if that means changing our own plans.
St. Joseph, help us to love and cherish our families as you loved Mary and Jesus.
As members of the Christian family help us to see all people as brothers and sisters.
May we treat everyone with respect and compassion as you taught Jesus to treat those whom he met.
Then, let us be sent forth, as you were, to serve God the Father’s will with courage, humility and love.
St. Joseph…..Pray for us.

Advent wreaths – The last week of November 2020
Each class learned about what an Advent wreath represents.
The wreath represent is a circle which has no beginning or end. It reminds us God is so great that God never had a beginning and will never have an end. It also reminds us that his love is never ending.
The evergreen stays green all year. It reminds us that God never changes.
The first candle that we light is purple and it represents hope. It reminds us of the hopeful period of waiting for the birth of Jesus Christ.
The second candle that we light is purple and it represents Peace. The peace that God has given through His son Jesus Christ and the preparation for the baby Jesus.
The third candle that we light is pink. It represents the joy of sharing Christ. It reminds us of the joy of the shepherds as they hear the good news of Jesus' arrival.
The fourth candle is purple and it represents love. The love sent from God through His son, Jesus Christ.
On Christmas Day we light a white candle. The white candle reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world. He has come into our darkness to enlighten us and give us the life of God which we share with others
Children brought in evergreen from their gardens and each class made their own Advent wreath. We will be lighting these, each day, during our Advent collective worships.

Ash Wednesday
A wonderful Ash Wednesday Mass today. All the children were reverent and calm. Our fantastic Chaplaincy team wrote their own bidding prayers and read them confidently. They did a great job and we were proud of them. As always, Mrs Thomason's 'Elastic Band' played along with the hymns and sounded beautiful.
Thank you to all the children for carrying the ALLELUIA letters to the alter. They have now been locked in a box on the altar and we will get them out again at Easter.

Dia de los Muertos
Dia de los Muertos is a traditional day of celebration in Mexico to honour those who have passed away.
During the week beginning 5th November (the first week after half term), we are asking children to bring in flowers to decorate the altar – the more colourful the better!
In addition, should they wish to, children can bring in photographs of departed loved ones. All photos will be displayed on the altar in the hall to honour them.
We hope that this will raise awareness of different cultures as well as giving families the opportunity to remember and honour their loved ones.
Children brought pictures and flowers in and placed them on the 'ofrenda' to mark Day of the Dead. A beautiful altar was created in memory of our loved ones.

Harvest Festival
A BIG THANK YOU To Mr and Mrs Shenton for providing such a marvellous display of fruit, flowers and vegetables.
Over 80 parents came along to our harvest assembly today. Reception children dressed as scarecrows and sang "Dingle Dangle Scarecrow". Year 6 pupils reminded us that not all people have access to a fair share of food.
Ann Dawson from "Hampers of Hope" came along to collect the harvest gifts that the kind parents had donated. The food will be shared amongst families in the Cheshire area who do not have enough money to buy food to feed their families.
Thank you to all our kind parents and carers
