Loreto Highlights Update - 9th December 2022
Children Of The World
Year 3 performed a nativity called ‘Children of the world.’ Gabriel and the angels celebrated the birth of Jesus by bringing children from around the world to visit the manger. Travelling from as far afield as China, Malawi, Poland, Australia, USA  and Ireland, each group of children were brought to the stable where they told of their special Christmas customs, sang songs and presented gifts to baby Jesus.
Lego Robotics
This week pupils in Year 6 commenced in their Lego Robotics journey.  The two teams will compete against each other in the summer term, where they will also take on the Year 7 pupils from Prior Park.  In February club members will visit Prior Park to learn more about the Year 7 students competing in the UK Lego Spike Competition, they will also participate in a range of coding activities.

Toy History
It was playtime with a vintage twist as the Year 1 pupils enjoyed exploring and playing with toys from the past as part of their history topic.  The pupils had also done their own research at home by asking parents and grandparents about their favourite childhood toys.

Library Awards
Our Mr Reader awards scheme is well underway, and pupils have been reading their library books at home and during lunchtimes.  Our Library Prefects Cecilia and Nicolas presented the certificates and awards to the pupils.
A Bundle of Joy
Foundation Stage 2 performed their Nativity Play ' A Bundle of Joy' this week in Chapel.   The pupils looked wonderful in their costumes.  They delivered the true story of Christmas to the tune of many catchy songs.  They did an amazing job at such a young age, and we are very proud of them all!  May Jesus, Our Bundle of Joy, bless all our Loreto Families this Christmas.  
Gold Book
Well done to pupils in Lower Primary who were presented with their Gold Award certificates and gold pencils.
Gymnastics
All of Lower and Upper Primary have been enjoying some festive gymnastics. They have explored movement and balance which continue to develop their fundamental skills. 
Save the Children Concert
On Tuesday evening the Loreto Choir performed at the Save the Children Concert at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity.  The choir sung a stunning ensemble of Christmas songs and were privileged to be accompanied by the Gibraltar Regiment Band for one of their songs.
The event raised a total of £1,500.00 for the charity.  Well done to all those involved, the evening was a great success.
Year 6 Fundraising Event
We held a Christmas fundraising event for Years 3 and 4 this term. This consisted of two activities, one was ‘Santa’s Sack’ and the other was ‘Guess how old Santa is’. The pupils really enjoyed it and there were great prizes to be won. We worked on this as a team and it was a great success, raising £170 in total.

Flowers by Florence
Well done to Florence in Foundation Stage 2, who was a prize winner at the Gibraltar Horticultural Society Christmas Flower Show. She was the youngest exhibitor winning First Prize in the children’s category. Well done,
Faith Diary
The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally called Gaudete SundayGaudete is the Latin word for “rejoice.” This Sunday is so named because “Rejoice” is the first word in the entrance antiphon for today's Mass,  taken from Philippians 4:4-5 which reads:  “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice! The Lord is near.” This Sunday we light the pink candle on the Advent wreath instead of a purple candle, as a joyful reminder that Christmas - the coming of our Saviour -  is near!
