Prayer Team Planting Bulbs
Prayer Team Planting Bulbs
As part of the work the Prayer Team have been doing on Catholic Social Teaching, the children have been out in the autumn sunshine planting bulbs to create an area where we can pray, reflect and give thanks for God's creation.
Thank you to our RE link governor, Mr Yi, who helped with the bulb-planting. We are looking forward to seeing the daffodils and crocuses flowering in the front flower bed in the spring.

A little while ago, as part of an RE lesson, Year 6 wrote letters to Pope Francis telling him about the work they have been doing at home and at school to spread the Gospel to others.
