The Economist: Topical Talk
Congratulations to Anita in Y5 who won Standpoint award at the Topical Talk Festival 2024. Her 'handle' was jolly-gazelle. Please do take the time to read her essay and watch the video made by the judges from the Economist Magazine.
Caroline came 2nd on the UK Leader Board and top of the KCSP Leaderboard.
Well done to them both and a big thanks to Mrs Busvine for supporting the children through these wonderful discussions and Mrs Wakelin from KCSP for organising it on behalf of schools in KCSP.
Walk for Hunger
Thank you!
We raised £470 to send to Cafod.
Stewardship - Being Responsible Guardians of our World.
The children worked in eight groups made up of members of the different school houses. They were allocated an area of the school grounds and spent the afternoon weeding, planting, cutting back and generally tidying up our school grounds. The aim of the afternoon was to understand how care of our environment and being out of door are all very good for our well being and mental health. Being responsible guardians of our world is also one of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching that we have chosen to focus on.

Listening to stories is key to our love of learning.
If You Were An Engineer
As part of science week the children were asked to create their own invention for the If I were an engineer competition. They could invent anything, but generally they thought about things that would help those around them.
