This week we’re marking MENTAL HEALTH AWARENSS WEEK.  Children will learn about the importance of keeping healthy in mind and body in assemblies and sessions in class.  On Thursday 18th May we’re inviting everyone to come to school wearing something green to show their support to this important cause.

It is clear our children are becoming more keen gardeners.  Today they scattered wildflower seeds in one of our school planters.  We look forward for a beautiful meadow in the coming weeks.  Recently they also planted vegetables such as broad beans, tomatoes and courgettes.

Today we marked the Coronation day of King Charles III in different ways which included a class assembly led by Year 3C, activities in class and our Coronation gathering in the playground where we also planted a new tree to mark this special occasion.

Our Year 5 pupils today led our service in church based on the stations on the cross.  This helped us reflect and get ready for Holy Week through readings, drama and music on the theme of the passion of our Lord Jesus.

Canon Victor Darlington, Apostolic Vicar for Education in the Diocese of Southwark today visited English Martyrs and led our Mass in the Parish Church.  Afterwards he met the school governors and visited children in class in both our school sites.

Today we launched the FIZZ FREE FEB challenge at English Martyrs’. This is a challenge to encourage the children not to drink fizzy drinks during the month of February. It is aimed at helping children be more healthy, avoid damaging their teeth and save money! Make your pledge! #gofizzfree

Friday 27th January 2023 Today we are marking Holocaust Memorial Day.  We are learning about the sufferings and discrimination many Jewish people had to go through around the time of World War II.  This is a way for us to learn from history and to do our part to work for peace in the world.
