Crowning of Our LadyNativity December 2019Christmas Fair 2019Harvest FestivalA wonderful day of celebration today. The reception children dressed up as scarecrows and sang, Mr and Mrs Sheton provided a plethora of beautiful vegetables as a backdrop for our festival; children were very excited to buy the vegetables; year 6 used our own school- grown apples to make apple crumbles; families donated a huge amount of food for Hope Central and the Elastic band played - and that was all in the first 45 minutes of the day!
Each class had a collective worship to celebrate God's wonderful world and then we joined together in the hall to eat and explore vegetables and then have some indian dancing!! What a fabulous day!

Inspirational People
What a wonderful day we have had! Children from each class took part in prayerful experiences to celebrate inspirational people who are fighting for social justice. one pupil remarked, " Today I learnt that it isn't just adults who can make a change to the world." Pictures to follow!
Plastic Waste
This week children have been encouraged to reduce their plastic waste. Children have thought about how they can reduce the use of single use plastics. Click Here to visit the Youtube Video
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.

Collective Worship
The pupils were very reverent and participated beautifully in a whole key stage collective worship, led by TEAM Benedict.
Christmas Carol
Many children took part in the Christmas Carol Concert at St Benedict's Church - another wonderful school, church and parent event. The children wowed us with some wonderful singing and even signed along with Silent Night. Afterwards we gathered together to share mince pies and mulled wine. Thank you to all who came and sang along!
Infant Nativity
The Infant Nativity was a great success again this year. KS1 put on a brilliant performance and it was very well supported by the school community as always. Well done to all children and staff in the KS1 team.
Beginning of Advent
The children have been preparing for advent. Class displays are finished and travelling nativity bags are beginning to make their way to each family in KS1. KS2 classes will be able to share a collective worship with their families as the travelling collective worship bags make their way round.
Diwali Cards
TEAM BENEDICT created Diwali cards which were sent to families and friends of our school to help them celebrate
Harvest Festival
Another beautiful Harvest Festival this year. Reception performed the Scarecrow dance, some KS2 children performed an indian dance and TEAM Benedict led us in prayer. A big thank you to Mr & Mrs Shenton for providing the fantastic produce which set the scene perfectly. Thank you to all the parents who sent food in for the harvest, which was donated to Hampers of Hope.
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.

Calaveras
We are learning about the way Catholics in Mexico honour loved ones who have passed away during 'Dia de los Muertos'. The children in years 5 and 6 have been working hard to prepare a new display for the hall.. The children have created their own ‘calaveras’ and willow flowers.
Pentecost
This year, Pentecost fell on May 20th 2018. In school we celebrated the birth of the church with a birthday party during Friday celebration assembly.
We were joined by Father O’Riordan who led us in prayer. Thank you to the parents who joined us to celebrate. The children worked together to create a beautiful display in the hall.

Y6 Carol Singers entertain the residents
Year 6 pupils and Mrs Muldoon were invited to visit Ferndale residential home this morning at 10:00 to provide some festive cheer. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed singing carols and Christmas songs to the residents. The residents praised the children's excellent behaviour and attitude. Mrs Thomason provided very attractive Christmas hats for all and provided excellent musical skills.
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
