Please welcome St Matthew’s NEW Head Pupils: ⭐️

Prayer Afternoon 🙏

Pupils spent Friday afternoon visiting each classroom to learn about the 5 types of prayer - they shared their blessings with God, created mood boards of thanks-giving and considered prayers of intercession for those in their life who may need His help.

Our school parable: The Good Samaritan

’Good Samaritan's self-less act saves injured traveler'

NEWSPAPER DELIVERY INCOMING!!

Year 6 have started the year by discussing our school parable of 'The Good Samaritan' - this is a reading from the Bible we are fairly familiar with now and so we considered its meaning a little more deeply: how it impacts upon our own behaviour going forth, which other Bible stories it shares themes with and how the morals could link to the Catholic Social Teaching Principles.

Shakespeare Week: King Lear

As part of our exploration of this classic Shakespearean play, Mrs Harris brought the story to life and we learned about each of the main characters and their roles in the story.

The children were invited to take on the roles themselves, acting out the key scenes which led to such a tragic end!
