In R.E., Reception have been learning about the story of Pentecost. We discussed how we can feel the Holy Spirit but not see it and also looked at the different symbols that relate to Pentecost.

A joyful May Procession led by our First Holy Communion children 🌸 Honouring Our Lady with love and reverence. So lovely to see them in their special clothes, with Mary beautifully carried by our Year 6 confirmandi. 🙏💙

The year 2 liturgy team are busy planning their celebration of the word. They are thinking about the important message Jesus left us: Love one another as I have loved you. #CatholicLifeStCathRC @BCPP__ @BhamDES

Yesterday, Year 1 celebrated the Feast of the Ascension during our Celebration of the Word. We learned how Jesus went to heaven and promised to always be with us. We are reminded that Jesus walks with us everyday.

In R.E., Reception have been learning about the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. We discussed different ways we can be like Jesus and also came up with some words we could use to describe Jesus.

In our worship this week, Y3 discussed how Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. We reflected on how we can listen to Jesus’ call by being free from distractions. #catholiclifestcathrc #prayerstcathrc

Year 2 had a creative time celebrating St Catherine of Siena day. They painted Lillies, reflected on how they will set the world on fire using their gifts and talents. Finally they thought about St Catherine the peacemaker. #CatholicLifeStCathrc @BhamDES @BCPP__

What a beautiful day, celebrating our school saint’s, St Catherine of Siena, feast day. We took inspiration from @danonelifemusic for a beautiful activity: noting down positive thoughts about classmates in prayerful meditation. @BhamDES #CatholicLifeStCathRC

During CBW, Reception offered prayers to Jesus and sang an ‘Alleluia’ song to express their gratitude for Jesus’ resurrection.
