Theme Of The Week: Courage
Enriching the curriculum
s Reed shared the story of Caedmon the monk who
lived a long time ago.
Caedmon loved singing his song to the animals but was terrified of singing in front
of the other monks. One night an angel visited Caedmon and told him to sing for
the other monks. Even though he was scared, Caedmon knew that it was the right
thing to do. When the other monks heard his song, they thought it was so good
that they wrote it down so that it could be shared with others, and it is still sung
today.
We asked for the courage to do the right thing, even when we feel scared.
Congratulations to the following pupils who were chosen for showing courage.
