Weekly Message from Mrs Clayton
Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been another busy week, and it has been wonderful to see our school community coming together at various events.
On Sunday, it was fantastic to see so many of our children and families at Mass to celebrate Education Sunday. It was particularly lovely to welcome so many of our new children, who had the special opportunity to have their book bags blessed by Fr Sabu. It was a beautiful way to mark the beginning of their journey with us and to remind us that our school, parish and families are all part of one community.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the celebration so special.
We also had a fantastic turnout at our PTA meeting on Wednesday. It was wonderful to see so many parents and carers getting involved, sharing ideas and supporting our school. The PTA have lots of exciting plans for the coming term, and we are looking forward to seeing these take shape! If you weren't able to make the meeting, don't worry — there is still a great opportunity to get involved.
Our Big Help Out takes place on Saturday 26th September, and we would love to see you there. Come along, meet other members of our school community, find out more about what is happening at St Anne Line and, most importantly, be part of our wonderful school family.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Together, we really do make our school community special.

  Creation and Covenant - Branch 1
This half-term, the theme for our Religious Education Curriculum Branch is Creation and Covenant. ‘The heavens are telling the glory of God’ (Ps 19:1). In this branch, pupils will encounter the God who creates and calls all people. They will explore the revelation of the Christian belief that all that is comes from God, the Creation accounts in Genesis, and scientific explanations of the process of Creation. They will explore the call of God and his covenantal relationship with his people first through Abraham and Moses, then through the narrative of the Old Testament.

Happy National Numeracy Day!
We've had such a lovely day celebrating all things maths! The children came dressed up and explored how maths is used in real life and in different careers.
We also became maths investigators for the day with some fun zoo animal challenges
How many children could fit inside an elephant's footprint?
Can we jump as far as a kangaroo?
Which animal is the tallest?
Who can measure the longest leap?
So much fun, learning and teamwork all while building confidence with numbers! #nationalnumeracyday

Last week we were privileged to host the Early Excellence Outdoor Roadshow - discovering how to strengthen the impact of our outdoor learning environment. It was a brilliant opportunity to see the expertise of Early Excellence in action, exploring how thoughtfully designed outdoor environments can deepen children's learning, curiosity, and independence.
A huge thank you to Early Excellence for leading such an inspiring session, and to all the leaders and teachers who joined us for the rich professional discussions and shared practice.

Year 2 have been working so hard on their persuasive writing skills, creating fantastic pieces all about our wonderful school
Their writing was aimed at convincing new starters (and future pupils!) why our school is such a brilliant place to learn, love, grow, and make friends. From exciting lessons to kind classmates and fun activities, they made sure to highlight everything that makes our school special
We are so proud of the creativity, effort, and enthusiasm shown by every writer in Year 2.

Online Safety Zone
We have become aware of an increasing trend of AI Fruit videos. These are slipping through the child filter safety nets on many platforms and though they begin quite innocently, they often turn dark with extreme violence depicted. The recommendation is that children access devices in the presence of an adult so that they can hear/see what is being viewed. It is so important to be aware of what your child is watching and encourage them to tell you if something they see online makes them feel upset or uncomfortable.
