Our Class News this week – Monday 24th- November – Friday 28thNovember 2025 

This week the children continued learning about the Christmas story and enjoyed exploring it during their nativity rehearsals. In Mathematics, the children have continued to learn about one more and one less than, and in Science they have been exploring winter and making snowflakes. 

Tuesday 25th November was the feast of St Catherine. The Reception children attended mass and we were very proud of their behaviour.  Well done Reception!

The Advent Giving Calendar 

This week the children each brought home information about the Caritas Advent Giving Calendar. The letter also includes a suggested contribution for those families that would like to take part. 

Homework

Well done to all those pupils who have been learning the Christmas carols, which was last week's homework. I will keep the links on the class page until the end of term. 

This week the children have a Kindness and Good Deeds Advent Actions homework. Please see the information and sheet in the green homework folder.
