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 the 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 we will 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.

Everyone is invited to visit the church on Friday 26 November to 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.

Thank you to Father Kevin and Junior 4 today for leading the Mass on the theme of Vocations. The pupils took time out of their busy routine to reflect and think about how our lives are a wonderful journey with many different paths and signposts along the way. During the Mass they listened to the readings from Genesis in the Old Testament, which linked with the work they have completed in their RE lessons and explored the theme of listening to God’s call in their own lives.

Congratulations to all the Minnie Vinnies who have been enrolled today at the end of our school Mass. It is amazing to see that so many pupils from Junior 5 and 6 are willing to give their time and energy to do something for others. An appropriate way to end our Vocation Mass. Their first mission will be to lead a couple of initiatives to make Christmas more fun for those less fortunate than us.

Today is a very important celebration in the Sikh calendar, it is the birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak was the first of ten Gurus and the founder of Sikhism. Guru means teacher and throughout his life Guru Nanak taught us that we should treat everyone equally and with respect, live an honest life and share with others. Hardaya shared a poster she made at home with J2G and answered lots of questions from her curious classmates. Thank you, Hardaya.
