Wellbeing Week
The staff and children of St. Kevin’s have had a wonderful week focussing on the wellbeing of ourselves and the wellbeing others. Through mindfulness colouring in and meditation, we have been fully ‘in the moment’. Being fully present can assist with the reduction of stress and anxiety.
Our lunchtime disco on Wednesday brought many smiles and joyous laughter from children and teachers alike. It was wonderful to see that St. Kevin’s is the home of many talented dancers!
Each and every child in our school played a part in creating a work of art this week. It is very special to bring our school community together in unique ways especially given the difficulties we have all faced over the last 12 months! Our gorgeous school-wide collaborative artwork is now on display in the hall. Keep an eye on our Facebook feed to see Year 6's hands added to this wonderful artwork.
We will conclude our first wellbeing week for the year with an out of uniform day on Friday– remember to bring in your Easter eggs!
Wellbeing week is a wonderful time to reflect on just what is meant by the Commandment Remember the Sabbath and Keep it Holy. Put very simply, God wants humans to rest. After the craziness of the school and working week, God wants us to pause and to look after ourselves.
To stop.
To be truly present.
To breathe.
What will you do this weekend for your little pause?
What are we learning in Religion?
Each newsletter, we will showcase a class and give you a little insight as to what they are learning about during Religion lessons. This week we hear from…
Year Two!
Over Term 1, one of our RE focuses has been Jesus the Teacher. Year 2 have identified that Jesus told parables to:
- Teach others about God
- Teach everyone about kindness and sharing
- Teach people about Heaven
- Teach others how to pray
- Teach people how to be more like God.
Year 2 have learned that as Christians, we are all made in the likeness of God, and we are called to spread the Good News by doing Good.
