St Piran’s | The Millstone | Christmas Term
THINKING OF OTHERS
At the start of term, the children were set a challenge to think creatively and include everyone in their play. We encourage them to demonstrate courtesy and consideration towards others as part of our values and we highlight this with focused events throughout the year. Harvest thanks One focus in the first half of the Christmas Term is how thankful we are for the food we have and an awareness that others are not so fortunate. Donations to Maidenhead Foodshare and the One Can Trust were even more important this year in local efforts to look after those suffering food poverty during the pandemic. While we were not able to visit our local care homes and pass on food parcels this year due to the risks of the pandemic, we thank our families for helping us to pass on so many goods to the charities we support instead. Friendship Week In November, Nursery Ducklings celebrated friendship by having a photo taken with their friends. Year 3 each made a bookmark for another member of the class. Year 2 learned that we are all a piece of the puzzle and enjoyed putting their friendship jigsaws together. At the end of the week, there were many nominations in Friday’s assembly for children whose thoughtful, caring actions helped their peers and made new classmates feel welcome. Remembrance Our wonderful Chapel provides a perfect setting for reflection and commemoration. This year’s Remembrance Day was honoured with a special service and, of course, poppy-selling, with the help of our Head Boy and Girl and Prefects.
