The first week of Advent is upon us. The children will have many opportunities over the coming weeks to reflect on this important season.

Last week we were delighted to welcome the Notre Dame Chaplaincy Team into school to work alongside our own Chaplaincy Team. Together, they explored the idea of their ‘mission’, reflecting on how they can live out their faith within our school community. Their enthusiasm, confidence and sense of purpose were truly inspiring to witness.
The children then began planning our upcoming Advent Celebration of the Word, which they will lead for the whole school in December. Working in four groups, they focused on the key elements of Gather, Word, Response, and Mission, thoughtfully preparing a meaningful and prayerful celebration for everyone to share.
Some examples of the acts of worship and the learning in RE across the school.

The St Wilfrid's Chaplaincy Team joined schools from the St Clare CMAT for the Trust Mass at the Cathedral on the 17th October.
October 12th is St Wilfrid's Feast day. To celebrate our school saint, the children learnt about St Wilfrid and had extra play time!
The Chaplaincy Team led an assembly on St Wilfrid explaining his significance and impact.
The Chaplaincy Team met to discuss plans for the year. They have some great ideas and are keen to get started.
On Friday 3rd October, Jenny, a volunteer from CAFOD came into school to lead an assembly to the children to raise awareness about the work of CAFOD. CAFOD stands for the "Catholic Agency for Overseas Development" and works with communities around the world to provide clean water, food, healthcare, skills training and emergency aid in times of disaster. Supporting CAFOD's work is a great way for us all to put love into action, and make an amazing difference to people's lives!
We talked to the children about the impact their donations can have:
For £33 you can buy warm clothes, blankets and essential fuel and food for a family in need.
For £10 you can provide nutritious warm meals and shelter to refugees who have fled their homes due to conflict.
For £6 a struggling family can receive seeds and training on how to care for them so everyone can enjoy a healthy, nutritious diet.
So far, we have raised over £700!!
