Remembrance Service and Poppy Selling

The children took part in the St Matthew's Church Remembrance Service both on Sunday and as a whole school on Tuesday 11th November. Some of the children from our ethos group read special prayers and lay out a wreath as part of our school community. The children sang songs of respect and then shared their two minute silence together.

Prior to our service, the Year 6 children sold poppies to the children in school on behalf of the Royal British Legion. The funds collected will directly support the Royal British Legion's work for serving personnel, veterans and their families. Well done to the Year 6 children for supporting selling the poppies and thank you to families for helping us support our wider community through donations. 

Collecting for Our Local Food Bank

As part of our Harvest service in Church, children and families kindly donated food for our local food bank. The food bank came to collect the items and were delighted with all of the donations. We love supporting our community at St Matthew's. A big thank you to families who helped to support these donations. 

Class R listened to some Christmas music and worked together to decorate the Christmas trees in school! 

At St Matthew’s we have taken time to reflect on the importance of Remembrance. Our beautiful display has been a whole school, eco-friendly project.

The Digital Leaders have been busy creating posters about our Digital Footprints! They are working incredibly hard through the Digital Leader modules and sharing the information with their peers.

Our Eco Council have been working so hard and we are thrilled to have achieved our Eco Schools Silver Award!
