Y6 worked hard on their Enterprise Project sale after school for the various items they had made. A proportion of the money they raised went to a charity of the children’s choosing. It was also a lovely example of Community and Participation. https://t.co/zOxgAqztYc
As a finale of our Turner's House project, we invited the parents to our own Y5 Turner exhibition. The children's artwork that was produced with the artists from Turner’s House was displayed in the hall, and each child acted as a tour guide. https://t.co/IZZj9KqJll

Year 2 were invited to visit Hounslow Mosque last week. Before they went into the prayer room, they made sure their hair was covered with a scarf as a sign of respect, they also took our shoes off to show they were clean. Usually Muslims perform the Wudu, which means they clean themselves to prepare for prayer. The Imam came and spoke and shared lots of information about the Muslim faith. Year 2 learnt that the Mihrab faces Mecca and this helps all Muslims pray in the correct direction. Muslims pray five times a day! Their holy day is Fridays. The Children also looked at a Qur'an and saw that it was written in Arabic.
The children stepped back in time and had an amazing day with visits from a T-Rex of all things and three baby dinosaurs! The children learnt lots of interesting information and dinosaur facts and all had an amazing time. Thank you to the PA for inviting and funding the dinosaur visit to our school.
Introducing our new House Captains for School Year 2024/20525, every child at school is part of a school house team. The houses are: St Anthony of Padua - Blue House St Francis of Assisi - Green House St Bernadette of Lourdes - Yellow House St Brigid of Kildare - Red House House captains are elected by the Year 6 teachers, after hearing their speech/presentation about what they can offer their House. Their role is to represent their house, this is in a variety of ways such as, lead their house at Sports day and events and also on a weekly basis they collect the house points so that the winning house can be announced at the Monday assembly.
Thank you to Year 5 for leading us in a marvellous Harvest Festival on Friday. It was a wonderful occasion and helped us reflect on the gifts that God has given us. Thank you too for all the generous donations that were handed in for the Whitton Foodbank. This is an excellent example of Catholic Social Teaching and our school community putting our faith into action.
