Christmas Bauble Competition

First of all a HUGE THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING POPPIES ........................... can you get your ‘creative heads’ on again please.

Make a Christmas Bauble to raise awareness of the 'Heads Together' charity to support Mental Health of children

Your task is to find out about the charity 'Heads Together' led by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, then make a Christmas bauble for the Christmas tree which will be entered into the annual Christmas Tree competition at St Nicholas church at the Kenilworth Light Switch On.

Mrs Jackson-Mayne is imagining an amazing array of colouful 'head shaped' baubles that show different emotions.

The final date for entries is Tuesday 22 November.

People are invited to visit the church on Friday 26 November and vote for the best decorated tree.

All the proceeds this year go towards the The Kenilworth Centre for the Youth Wellbeing Fund which links with our theme

RE Workshop

Each week Mrs Jackson-Mayne leads a ‘Prayer and Meditation’ workshop with a class.

The next Mass, which is on the theme of Vocations will be celebrated by Father Kevin on Friday 19 November with Junior 4. For many of the children, it will be their first Mass this year. We all look forward to pressing pause in our busy timetable to think about what is important in our lives and our aims and goals for the future.

In J2 RE this week the children discussed the timeline of Jesus. We all recognised lots of different events in the life of Jesus and we were able to think about where each episode would go on a timeline of Jesus’ life. Starting with the Annunciation and the Visitation, we discussed each event together and then sequenced the pictures. Some children wanted to add to the timeline and remembered what happened on Palm Sunday and Holy Thursday. It was wonderful to see how much the children could recall and what they actually remembered. We also made our own Rosary beads and learnt how the different prayers are said on the Rosary and why. We also looked at the four Mysteries – Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious. We hope you like our unique creations!

Whilst exploring the parable of the ‘Lost Sheep’ in their RE lesson, Junior 3H had to first find all the 50 sheep that Mrs JM had hidden. Then using their number sequencing knowledge, they had to find the most efficient method to find out which sheep was missing.
