The Mini Vinnies visited the residents of Hurst Park Residential Home today. They sang some beautiful Christmas carols and chatted to the residents. Everyone enjoyed the visit and the residents gifted the children some sweets for Christmas too.
Our Prayer Leaders, Head Boy and Head Girl attended mass today at St Agnes and St Aidan’s church with Father Anton. The children enjoyed taking part in the offertory and readings. The parishioners were really kind to us and treated us to biscuits and a drink afterwards too.
Year 1 have been learning about how babies are welcomed into the church. We watched a priest perform a baptism and we role played this sacrament for ourselves.
A big thank you for all the kind donations for our water butt. We have raised £54 and have purchased a new water butt for our school prayer garden which Mr Wright is going to attach to the drain pipe during the school holidays. There’ll be no more water wasted at St. Aidan’s.
Today the Mini Vinnies carried out a litter pick down the path that runs adjacent to the River Alt. We filled 3 bags of rubbish. We also composed a letter to Knowsley Council to get the River Alt cleaned up as there is so much litter in the river which is harmful to the local wildlife. The path looks so much better already and hopefully once the river is cleaned up it will be a path that people want to walk through. Well done to our Mini Vinnies!
Year 1 had their collective worship outside our Sacred Heart display this morning. The children learnt about what each part represents and listened to John 19:34. We reflected on the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
