Whilst on camp our Year 5 & 6 children were able to visit the candle making factory and shop. Some children chose to make some beautiful candles and other bought some for family and friends. We were lucky enough to bring back a candle for each classroom for our Prayer Tables  and a very special one for our School Masses and Prayer Services. It will be a lovely memory each morning and afternoon as we pray together.

We are currently using Seesaw and QR Codes to create Digital Portfolios showcasing children work in Years 3-6. The children complete work, upload and share to enable parents to see some samples of work that children are completing. This is accompanied by comments on the Learning Intention and Success Indicators. Information has been sent home to help parents access Seesaw.

It is an important home school partnership and a chance for parents to see frequent samples of children's work.
