Every Wednesday during lunchtime, our amazing Reading ambassadors meet to talk about books, share books and discuss ways in which we can encourage others to read. Our main aim is to promote reading for pleasure within school and to share our love of reading with everyone!
We facilitate many events such as:
Author visits,
Ordering books,
Tidying up the library
Keeping the Ready Reader trolleys neat and well-stocked as well as checking that the book corners in the classrooms are appealing, well-used and loved!
We enjoy working with other leadership groups to promote their subjects too such as organising the Science section with the Science ambassadors and creating a designated British Values area with the School Council.
The choir consists of children from years two to year six, who love singing! They meet with Mrs. McCracken and Miss Young on a Friday lunchtime, where they practice songs which are a mixture of hymns and gospel songs, as well as some for pure entertainment. They have learnt a few descants to well-known hymns and can also sing acapella and in ‘rounds’, taking different parts simultaneously.
During whole school hymn practice and during school masses, they lead the singing and they represent the school up in the Children’s Choir at The Sacred Heart Church whenever the occasion requires. They have also sung in the community, especially around Christmas time, and hope to keep finding new ways to celebrate in song!
