Class charity
In our class, we’ve chosen to raise awareness and money for St George's Crypt. We chose to support St George's Crypt because it is a charity that is linked very closely to our local community. There is a charity shop in the centre of Pudsey that is raising funds and awareness for the work that goes on in Leeds City Centre. St George's Crypt have been helping the homeless and vulnerable since the 1930's supplying people with hot meals and accommodation. We are aiming to continue God's work in the community helping those that are less fortunate than ourselves.
Keep an eye out for our fund-raising activities!
Reflection & Trust - class virtue
At the beginning of the year, we were given the virtues of reflection & trust, which means reflecting on our actions everyday and trusting in God.
We learnt that reflection helps us evaluate how we act and speak to people and how we deal with situations. We can learn from our experiences and any mistakes that we may make.
In terms of trust, we learnt that it is important to trust God's teaching and learn from the lessons that he gives us. We also need to show trust in others as then they will learn to trust us.
Beyond the classroom
In our class, we are looking forward to a wide range of experiences this year to help us develop our love of learning.
In the Autumn term, we will be going to Armley Mills for a Victorian classroom experience in line with our history topic which is The Victorians.
In January, Year 6 will be heading off to 'High Adventure' for their residential. This will be an amazing 3 days where the children will be given the chance to be active in a number of ways including using zip wires, orienteering and abseiling.
In March, Year 5 will be going to Minsteracres for their prayer residential. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore different ways of using prayer to connect and come closer to God.
Engaging with our learning
In St Mary's this half term, we have been working with a text called called 'Curiosity' to help us with our writing. It focuses on a mission to outer space and explores a wide range of language as the Mars Rover goes out to explore the desolate landscape of the planet.
Across the curriculum, our minds are filled with wonderful knowledge especially with the help of our exciting and fun lessons.
