St Louis St Louis have been incredibly busy Loving, Wondering and Achieving Together over the last two terms. Our Gospel Values have been Curiosity and Forgiveness, which have shone through in all the children do. Term 3, curiosity was particularly evident during Aspirations Week. Pupils met a range of visitors, including a pilot, translator, paramedics and police officers, who spoke about their careers, how they got there and which subjects helped them in school. The Mayor of Frome spoke to the children about leadership and community. Pupils asked thoughtful questions and showed genuine interest in the different roles, demonstrating their growing awareness of the wider world. Across the school, learning in different year groups reflected this curiosity. In Reception, children began developing their understanding of the world through hands-on exploration, preparing for new topics such as “Wonderful World.” In Key Stage 1, pupils focused on developing core literacy skills, including storytelling and writing. Year 2 pupils created their own stories inspired by “The Lord of the Forest,” showing imagination in their choice of characters and settings. Year 3 explored Animals Including Humans in science, working towards their own investigations. In RE, Year 4 focused on the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats and linking this to the Works of Mercy. Year 5 planned, practised and prepared for the DCET Catenians public speaking contest, where they spoke about stewardship and Catholic Social Teaching. Year 6 used their persuasive skills to write a letter to Prime Minister Asquith to convince him to give women the right to vote, based on their learning from The Unstoppable Letty Pegg. In Term 4, Reception pupils have been exploring space, writing facts about planets, creating papier-mâché models, and designing their own rockets. In Year 1, pupils worked on diary writing based on The Naughty Bus and began editing their work using purple pens, helping them to reflect on and improve their writing. Year 2 developed their understanding of mathematics by learning division and using their 2 times tables to support calculations. In Year 3, pupils have been writing using lots of description, based on Mr Penguin and the Museum of Extraordinary Objects, with some fantastic word choices being made. Year 4 used The Wolves in the Walls to write their own writing newspaper reports, developing their understanding of writing for purpose and audience. Year 5 began rehearsals for their Easter Praise
