It has been a busy and exciting autumn term for the children who attend St Louis Catholic Primary School in the heart of Frome.
The school says, “The phrase ‘To love, wonder and achieve together’ has never meant more. The children have been busy helping and caring for each other, and our young leaders, the Red Hats, have begun their year helping our new young children settle into school life happily.
“In September, a group of children took the initiative and raised money at a very well-attended Macmillan coffee morning. They wanted to help the local Food Bank and organised the collection of foods and, looking wider, they have just this week welcomed one of the Lampedusa crosses, made from the wood of a boat that carried refugees to Europe, and in doing so, learned of the plight of refugees around the world.
“The ‘wonder’ in learning means the children have taken nothing for granted. They have visited Cheddar Gorge and caves, experienced the magic of pantomime, been visited by a Roman soldier, joined in martial arts training, joined the Frome Anti Bullying march, welcomed the ambulance service, the fire service and the police to learn about their work, and joined with Magistrates to learn about how the legal system works. They have cycled, cooked and zumba’d through the term!
“Our older children have visited Bath University with a full tour of the campus and the Milner Centre for Evolution, ending up in deep discussion with HRH Prince Edward in the process.
“With these experiences, there is a richness to the children’s learning which leads to a lasting achievement that you just can’t get in any other way ….. and there is a lot more of that coming up next term!”
