Year 5 Tees-Kinder 💜
During our recent Retreat Day, Year 5 focused on how compassion is important in working for the common good, especially showing compassion to those in need, including those experiencing homelessness. The children reflected beautifully on scripture: 𝙰𝚌𝚝 𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚕𝚢, 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝙼𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚢, 𝚆𝚊𝚕𝚔 𝙷𝚞𝚖𝚋𝚕𝚢 (Micah 6:8) and the acts of compassion needed to make Teesside a kinder place.

This video gives just some insight into the pupils' beautiful reflections during our retreat day and they hope it will inspire others to put 'empathy into action' = 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗.

We are looking forward to working directly with Depaul UK over the coming year to learn more about the work they do and supporting this through our own fundraising efforts.

You can find information about the impact they have on those experiencing homelessness, as well as ways to donate to their work via their website: www.depaul.org.uk/

As part of our Anglo-Saxon topic, Y4 have been looking at runes, an ancient form of writing! We’ve spent time writing our own names and cracking some codes using problem solving!
