Christmas Lunch
Service of Light
Nine children from Cathedral School were invited to take part in a brief service of light yesterday at Southwark Cathedral. The special service took place in the choir and was attended by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. The children led the prayers and lit candles.
The Prince and the Duchess were accompanied by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Justin Welby.
We were so proud of the children who took part in the service and represented the school well.
If you were at the service yesterday please could you describe your experience.
Early Years Nativity
Cathedral School Christmas Service
Congratulations to Year 5 who lead our Christmas worship this morning at Southwark Cathedral. Their performance of ‘Holy Joe’ was stunning and really brought the Christmas story to life. They were accompanied by the beautifully singing voices of Years 2, 3, 4 and 6. The congregation were also treated to a performance of ‘Baby Jesus is Born Tonight’ by Nursery, Reception and Year 1.

Parental Questionnaire: Religious Education
We are currently thinking about our RE (Religious Education) provision by reflecting on how we can build on our strengths and improve any areas for development. We are asking the whole school community for feedback (including children and staff) and we would be so grateful to hear from parents.
Please could you complete the online questionnaire.
Many thanks.
Spanish Day
Today was Spanish Day at Cathedral School. It was wonderful to see so many of the children dressed up in traditional Spanish costumes and colours! We started the day by singing ‘Hola Amigos’ in our celebration assembly. The children then spent the morning learning Spanish phrases, listening to and translating Spanish stories and counting using Spanish numbers.
At lunchtime, traditional Spanish music was played in the hall while the children and staff enjoyed either Spanish chicken or stew followed by churros!
This afternoon, a range of activities took place from flamenco dancing to creating Spanish holiday brochures to Gaudi inspired mosaics. All around the school it was lovely to hear the children practising their Spanish and see so much excitement about Spanish language and culture. One child was heard saying “It’s been so nice to learn so much that I didn’t know about Spain today!”
Finally, thank you very much to all of our parent readers who came and read a Spanish story to the children. It was such a great opportunity for the children to ask questions about Spanish culture and language and hear a story from a native Spanish speaker.
