We have done some art based on our hopes in class too, we hope to show you soon :) ##### 5B *9 September 2020* In Year 5, we have been discussing hopes and fresh starts. Some of our hopes are \- Improving spelling scores \- Improve my listening skills \- Achieve medals in dancing \- Improve handwriting We will work hard to achieve these goals by practising and showing resilience when the going gets tough. ##### 3C *9 September 2020* The assembly today on new starts was very relevant as we have a new girl starting with us in class. We discussed how it may feel to be a new starter and how we can help them to settle in. ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
