In the week commencing 14^th June, our children learnt about what it might be like to be a refugee in Great Britain. They found out about the struggles a family could come across eg: loss of family members, language barrier as well as housing or food worries. Each class shared what they had learnt in a Zoom assembly on Friday 18^th June and everyone agreed that it had successfully raised awareness across the school.

We were very excited to receive the Olympic Torch on Tuesday 8^th June. Representatives from Cardinal Wiseman school ran through a Moat House welcoming arch holding the torch aloft, which was accompanied by Moat House claps and cheers. Each class was able to learn about the history and significance of the torch, whilst it was shared around the school. The next day, some of our Year 6 children accompanied Miss Lynch to safely deliver the torch to St. Patrick’s School, where it continued its journey.

Following our recent poster competition, the School Council were all in agreement that it was very difficult to choose a winner for each year group, as there were so many high quality designs and imaginative creations. However they managed it in the end and we would like to announce that the winners are as follows:

Each winner was rewarded with a voucher in assembly on Tuesday 18^th May. Look out for the winning designs around the school, as we try to remind everyone about how important it is to keep our school and the environment clean and tidy.
