Caritas In Action

Solidarity and the common good

As part of our Caritas In Action project, Year 2 reflected on how we can live out the values of solidarity and the common good. Each child decorated a leaf with their own ideas of how they can work together with others to make the world a better place. We then joined our leaves together to create a beautiful class tree, reminding us that just as each leaf is important, so too is each person. When we work together, we grow something stronger, bigger, and more beautiful than we could ever achieve alone.

In Year 2, we began our new topic Creation and Covenant. We started by exploring the Creation story and reflecting on the wonderful things God made: “God saw all that He had made, and it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).

To help us notice God’s work around us, we went on a tour of the school grounds and found so many amazing examples of His creation in nature and our environment. But the most important discovery of all was realising the very best thing God created – each of us!

Year 2 had a fantastic trip to Liverpool yesterday. We explored the reasons why the Titanic sank and saw real life relics that was recovered from the wreckage. We saw a life jacket, plates, watches and glasses and explored the different classes who were on board the ship. A letter was read aloud to us that was never delivered and experienced how tragic the event was. The children were fantastically behaved. Well done Year 2!

This morning the whole school came into the hall and lay out beautiful flowers for Mary and did the Marian Procession. Year Two did a fantastic job.
