As we move into the month of July,
it is time for our value to change.
This month our value is Hope.

Hope poster July 20

Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen.

The apostle Paul wrote in several places about what hope leads to or makes: patience, courage, and joy. It makes us stable, and we are saved in hope. It is one of the three things which last: faith, hope, and love. Christians place hope in God’s promises, and in the God who delivers on those promises.

We are hopeful about the futures, as the St. Anne’s family, and during these tricky times it is important that we do not give up and we hold on to the hope that will bring us back together safely.

At St Anne’s we all love reading, and although life is a bit different this year, this won’t stop us all from enjoying reading a good book and taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge!

This year, for the library Summer Reading Challenge, Wandsworth Library are asking you all to get silly with the Silly Squad!

As we move into the month of June, it is time for our value to change.
This month our value is Community.

Community poster June 20

A community is a group of people living or working together in the same area. People in communities might go to the same schools, shop in the same stores and do the same things. They also help each other and solve problems together. We are a strong community, the St. Anne’s family, and during these tricky times it is important that we come together and care for each other. We are more powerful together, looking out for each other.

This month try and connect with your local members of your community. Send an email to your teachers, speak to your friends and meet them for a picnic in the park.

What kind of communities are you in? Let us start with your family. They are a type of community because they usually live together and do a lot of the same things. Then there are your friends. They share your ideas and probably go to the same school. Your neighbourhood is a community, here in Wandsworth we have to look out for each other. What is the biggest community? Probably the universe. We are all part of it.
