Well done to the team who organised the Talent Show – with a bit of help from Mrs Halloran and Mrs Brookes. Amazing skills – what a clever bunch you are!
It’s election time at St Vincent’s and each house is voting for their new House Captains and Pupil Parliament committees. Come back soon to see who they have voted in.
The theme for Refugee Week is Simple Acts to help people know they are welcome and loved in their new homes and schools and communities. We are going to try and and do 20 simple acts during the week.
This was the message we tweeted this morning:
We put these all around school. We found out that lots and lots of our families – children and staff – are refugees or have refugee ancestors. Everyone is welcome.
We are proud to have been awarded School of Sanctuary status and we will keep planning new ways to be a place of safety and welcome.
We heard the story of Julianne and her mother from Zimbabwe. Julianne’s mother had to leave her because she was in danger . She lived in an orphanage where she didn’t have enough to eat and people were cruel to her. Finally she escaped and she and her mother came to England. Julianne was new and frightened and anxious but things are getting better and people are trying to help her. She is a fighter and a survivor.She says no matter how much she had suffered she knew one day she would be accepted and she would be a shining star.
Year 3 shared a walking journey with Sister Eleanor from CAFOD .
Year 5 and 6 worked with Sister Eleanor to try and understand what it is like to have to leave your home. Here is their story:
Year 3 wrote poems about being a refugee. They had to stick to 20 words – tricky!
A group of children decided to organise their own cake sale to raise money for refugees.
Year 1 learned a song called ‘Home’ and thought about what it would be like to have to leave their home behind.
Year 1 sung the song ‘home’ to show that we welcome refugees #20acts #RefugeeWeek2018 pic.twitter.com/YFIRNg8Tn1
