Look at how wonderful we are in our nativity costumes. We loved wearing them!
Year 5 spent time thinking about all the people mentioned on our tree stars. We said prayers for all of them and lit our second Advent Candle. We prayed for peace on Earth and for health and happiness to all our families.
We invited our whole school community to write on a star, the names of anyone they’d like to pray for. These stars are hanging on the tree in the middle entrance. Classes will visit the tree for some quiet prayer time.
Year Two have been looking at and discussing the painting by Piero- Della- Francesca. It is about Baptism of Christ taken from St Matthew’s Gospel.
Dear children, staff, parents and governors of St. Gregory’s school,
I would just like to say thank you to you all for the wonderful send off you gave me for my retirement.
I was really touched by all of the special things you did for me, especially the video of your messages, your performance of the hymn to St. Gregory, the specially made book of your drawings and messages, your fantastic singing in our Christmas carol concert, the award you set up in my name and the whole school photograph. Thank you too for your generous gifts and the beautiful cards I received and for everything else!
I don’t know how you managed to keep everything a secret. It was absolutely amazing and I will never forget you all and the love and kindness you have shown me. I feel so blessed to have been a part of such a caring and outstanding school for so many years and to have had the opportunity to have taught so many children in that time.
You will always be in my thoughts and I wish you all, the best of everything for the future. I will miss you all.
Love and best wishes
Miss Carrahar x
