As our school value this half term is respect, I have chosen this parable as it reflects that. Here we learn the story of the three servants who were each given money to investand had to show the return on their investment. We are encouraged to think instead of money, ot think of the talents we have all been givem, we should develop them, invest in them so that they flourish for the benfit of us and others. Please do leave a comment to let us all know your thoughts!

We will try our best to use our talents and not hide them away :) Have a lovely week! ##### 4C *18 November 2024* We thought about what kinds of things would make God happy. Here's our ideas. \* giving to charity \* praying \* being helpful \* showing kindness \* being trustworthy ##### 1SW *18 November 2024* We are trying to be more confident. ##### 6R *20 November 2024* (A little late as we did Lisa's worship on Monday by mistake! Sorry!) On our worship table, we have a quote which says, "No gift is small in God's hands." We have reflected on our personal gifts. We thought about about our characteristics (From our Happy Mind work). These included courage, perseverance, kindness, humour, zest, creativity, prudence, forgiveness, self control and humility. We are going to challenge ourselves to share our unique gifts with each other. We also made links with our 'Journey through Advent' work - we are preparing for the gift our Jesus in our lives. ### 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/)
