What our pupils tell us about their experience of school

• There are so many fun things to do at St Luke’s. I like reading with my teacher.
• My teacher is smart. She knows what to teach me and how to help me write my numbers.
• I like the way my teacher shows me what to do in maths. She models the questions on the board before we do them in our books.
• I feel safe at St Luke’s. My teachers are kind. They like listening to my good news and also help me if I am worried.
• I feel responsible being in Year 6. We are chosen to help lead church services and Miss is helping us prepare for secondary school.
• I feel safe in school.  I love it when the teachers make me laugh.
• I know that I am in a safe and secure place.
• My friends always comfort me when I am upset.
• I am happy because I come to this school and we learn lots of things and we have movie night.
• My best friends at school help me if I’m sad and look after me.​
• When someone is being silly and I think about joining in, the teacher tells them to stop and I don't join in because it's not a good choice.
• We should live as Jesus did and should help people and should forgive people who hurt us. 

What our pupils tell us about how they remember things: Retrieval Practice

• Retrieval practice is when we practice last week’s work. The work from the back of our brain goes to the front and this makes you remember more.
• We are doing retrieval practice. It’s when you go back to the stuff that you did. It helps keep it in our minds.
• We are recapping our learning so that it stays in our brains!

What our pupils tell us about Meditation

• I like talking to God during meditation. I feel calm.
• I like praying in class. It makes me happy as God can answer my questions.
• I like meditation because it is like a moment of silence and you are in your own space.
• I like that in school we can talk to God about our worries when we pray and do reflection in assembly.
• We can have time to talk to God and say thank you for all the lovely things he’s done for us.
