In R.E., Reception watched the story of the Parable of the Talents and explored its message - that Jesus told this story to remind his followers to use their talents wisely. We also discussed how our special gifts from God can be used during Lent. #REStCathRC @BCPP__ @BhamDES

Year 3 have been discussing how we can treat marginalised groups in our society like Jesus treated the Samaritans. Abner: We shouldn’t ignore people that’s not nice. Sophia: Even if you don’t have money to give, you can treat people kindly or share a smile. #PrayerStCathRC

Year 2 have had a brilliant @WorldBookDayUK they have been exploring stories and creating collages inspired by The Tear Thief.

For our Celebration of the Word, Year 3 shared the story of the Transfiguration. Sophia: Jesus revealed that He was the Son of God. Junior: Jesus shared His glory with his trusted disciples.

Year 2 have been exploring in the garden for signs of Spring. They found lots of buds on trees. #CatholicLifeStCathRC @BhamDES @BCPP__

Year 2 enjoyed their morning walk around the city. They were investigating transport and how buildings are used. @BhamDES @BCPP__

During CBW, Reception offered their promises for Lent and explored the importance of this. They created Lent hearts and stuck these onto the display behind our prayer table💜 #REStCathRC #PrayerStCathRC @BhamDES @BCPP__

Year 2 loved meeting the new arrivals in nursery. They loved stroking them and how soft their feathers are. #CatholicLifeStCathRC @BCPP__ @BhamDES

Y6 discussing their safe places and where they feel like they belong. Great creations and imagination for Children’s Mental Health Week #PSHE #childrensmentalhealthweek

For #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, Y5 are reflecting on what positive mental health could look like and how it is important to FEEL our feelings. We have taken time out of our busy schedule to create something, with LEGO, which brings us joy. @Place2Be #CatholicLifeStCathRC @BCPP__

In R.E., Reception have been learning about Mary. We looked at paintings of Mary and her family, watched a video of The Finding in the Temple and talked about how Mary felt when Jesus was missing. We ended the lesson with the Hail Mary prayer. #REStCathRC

In CBW, Reception have been exploring our school‘s Mission Statement. We discussed what it means to ‘live, learn and grow in God’s love’ and brainstormed what we do to live out our Mission Statement and the importance of doing so. #PrayerStCathRC @BhamDES @BCPP__

Year 4 prayer and liturgy. “The people in darkness have seen a great light”. The call of the first apostles. #PrayerStCathRC

In R.E., Reception have been learning about weddings and enjoyed re-enacting wedding ceremonies. We discussed different pictures of weddings and learnt that when two people get married they exchange rings and ask God to love them and take care of them. #REStCathRC
