A Message from Pope Francis
How to make the world a better place to live
Have On Open And Generous Heart
“Dear children, our hands are a symbol for our hearts and only open, generous hearts can change the world. If you have a friend at school that you don’t like, don’t go and gossip about that person with others, because that shows you have a closed heart. If someone insults you, don’t insult them back, but try and change the world with small, every day, acts of generosity and solidarity. Jesus taught us to pray for our friends and our enemies.
Pope Francis
Pope Francis on facing challenges of the
coronavirus pandemic
"We need to rediscover the concreteness of small things, the small acts of kindness shown to those who are close to us, family, friends.
We need to realize that our treasure lies in small things.
There are tiny gestures that sometimes get lost in the routine of everyday life, gestures of tenderness, affection, compassion, that are nevertheless decisive, important”, he says.
The Pope gives the examples of sharing “a hot plate of food, a caress, a hug, a phone call... These are familiar, attentive gestures regarding everyday details that make life meaningful, and create communion and communication amongst us".
Pope Francis on COVID-19
Wellbeing Statement
The emotional health and wellbeing of all members of St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School is fundamental to our philosophy and ethos. We value everyone, care for each other and strive for excellence. At St Matthew’s we work together as a school community, including all students and parents in a supportive, success minded and challenging environment to maximise opportunities and achievements for all. Wellbeing incorporates PSHE,SMSC, mental health and British Values.
We focus on changing the long term culture of our school and embedding an ethos where mental health is regarded as the responsibility of all. We have embedded wellbeing into every aspect of our school and we will continue to do so, involving everyone.
In light of the current pandemic, the need to nurture the physical, social, emotional and mental wellbeing of everyone is paramount.
Intent
St Matthew's Catholic Primary School actively values and supports pupils and staff on their journey to positive mental health. We aim to make a positive difference to pupils and staff mental health and wellbeing. The intent of our Wellbeing/ PSHE curriculum is to deliver a curriculum which is accessible to all and one that will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. It is also our intent to provide a curriculum which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which enables children to access the wider curriculum and to prepare children to be a global citizen now and in their future roles within a global community.
We strive to provide an ideal environments for promoting good emotional wellbeing and identifying early behaviour changes and signs of mental distress. Evidence shows that health and wellbeing programmes in schools, can lead to significant improvements in children's mental health, and social and emotional skills.
PSHE and Wellbeing at St Matthew’s provides a balanced and broadly-based curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and prepares them for the opportunities and responsibilities and experiences for later life.
IMPLEMENTATION
St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School embed wellbeing, social and emotional aspects of learning within a whole school PSHE programme. Our holistic programme includes:
Substance Misuse
Tobacco
Risk Taking /Safety
Diversity
Emotional Health
Coping Strategies
Healthy Eating
Healthy relationships/bullying
Financial Education
British Values
Democracy
Citizenship
Physical Activity
E-Safety
Careers
dealing with emotions
understanding emotions
talking about mental health in a positive light
The Wellbeing/PSHE curriculum also includes opportunities to link British Values, SMSC and Key skills into the curriculum. Our spiral curriculum starts in Year 1 and follows the children through to Year 6. The distribution of the lessons complements key campaigns throughout the year such as Anti-bullying Week, Mental Health Week and Industry/Global Week.
We use Jigsaw which is a mindful approach to PSHE. All learning activities used in Jigsaw allow opportunities for discussion and debate. Open learning activities provide an opportunity for pupils to develop their skills, knowledge and attitude. Never underestimate the impact of children debating or discussing- even practising using language or talking about feelings can help them develop key skills for the future. Resilience plays a big part of our curriculum and this has been our PSHE focus throughout the Covid 19 Pandemic.
Wider Curriculum
All subjects make a link to Wellbeing, PSHE, BV, SMSC and the language is used consistently by all staff.
Displays across school
Wellbeing, PSHE, BV and SMSC displays throughout school reinforce the PSHE curriculum enabling children to make links.
Assemblies
Whole school, Key Stage and class assemblies always make a link to Wellbeing, PSHE, British Values and SMSC.
Assessment
Wellbeing is fundamental to learning. Every Wellbeing/PSHE lesson has the opportunity for ongoing self/teacher assessment. The reason it takes place during every lesson, is so that children are moved on quickly and are able to understand emotions and feelings as they go. Summative assessment takes place at the end of a topic; and formally each term, to ensure that the children have achieved and continue to achieve and develop as well rounded citizens. Support and intervention (for those who need it) is available in all lessons and is key in PSHE lessons. Children are encouraged to work independently and in groups to explore scenarios, issues and situations they may encounter and navigate them in a positive way.
Impact
A growing body of research shows that pupils who are emotionally healthy do better at school. PSHE education helps children and young people to achieve their potential by supporting their wellbeing and tackling issues that can affect their ability to learn, such as anxiety and unhealthy relationships. PSHE education also helps pupils to develop skills and aptitudes - like teamwork, communication, and resilience - that are crucial to navigating the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, and are increasingly valued by employers.
PSHE education helps pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. From making responsible decisions about alcohol to succeeding in their first job, PSHE education helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.
Pupils agree that PSHE education is a vital part of their preparation for life, with 92% of those who have been taught the subject believing all young people should receive high-quality PSHE lessons.
Wellbeing Week - designing and creating potato people
Year 5
Year 6
After reading a book called 'Ruby's Worry', we made 'worry clouds' ands attached them to balloons. When you share a worry, it lifts from you.
Year 6 have studied a book called 'Me and My Fear', all about when a young immigrant girl has to travel to a new country and start at a new school. She is accompanied by her Fear who tells her to be alone and afraid, growing bigger and bigger every day with questions like "how can you hope to make new friends if you don't understand their language?" But this little girl is stronger than her Fear. A heart-warming and timely tale from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Journey, this book shows us the importance of sharing your Fear with others--after all, everyone carries a Fear with them, even if it's small enough to fit into their pocket! We then thought about what our own Fear Monster might look like!
We realise it can be difficult to know what to say to children about the global pandemic crisis so here are some activities that may be of some use to you during this period of self isolation.

A LITTLE BOOKLET TO DOWNLOAD (if you want to) THAT CAN HELP PUPILS UNDERSTAND THEIR EMOTIONS REGARDING COVID 19
This is a short book written by Manuela Molina. It has been used to support and reassure children, under the age of 7, regarding COVID-19.
The book is an invitation for families to discuss the full range of emotions arising from the current situation.
It is important to point out that this resource does not seek to be a source of scientific information, but rather a tool based on fantasy. You do not have to use this.
It is the authors recommendation to print this material so children can draw on it and recognise that emotions are processed through repetitive play and stories read multiple times.
This COVIBOOK has helped ease young children’s anxiety all over the world.
With love,
Manuela Molina - the author
COVID BOOKLET
ANXIETY /LOW MOOD
in young children:
Some children may need particular support to help manage their anxiety or low mood. They may be particularly triggered by events such as seeing supermarket shelves emptying quickly – especially if they have experienced neglect or if particular foods become scarce or unavailable. Remember that a change in behaviour, such as restlessness, being more disruptive than usual or becoming quieter, may be underpinned by stress and anxiety.
Have you heard of something called ‘mindfulness’? It’s about noticing what is happening in your body, your brain and in all of your senses at this moment in time. Practising mindfulness allows you to take notice of your thoughts and feelings. This helps you to feel a sense of calm and manage difficult emotions such as stress, worry or anger. Why not have a go at some of the activities below?

Our 'Big Picnic' for Global Week
Hands of Friendship Celebration at Central Library with The Liverpool Lord Mayor 11/12/17
Hands of Friendship is a continuation of our status as a School of Sanctuary.
At St Matthew’s we appreciate that each person is uniquely created and loved by God. We respect their worth their value and their contributions to school life.
In upholding and developing the distinctive ethos of a Catholic school we embrace the principles of inclusion, equality and diversity. We ensure that every person is treated with respect, fairness and dignity and actively promote the values of tolerance, understanding and justice for all within the school and in the wider world.
At St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School we focus on the well- being and progress of every child and believe that all members of our school community are of equal worth. We are a school of sanctuary and will always offer a welcoming hand of friendship to all who come to our door.
We believe that the Equality Act 2010 provides a framework to support our commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination and promoting equality and fairness. We recognise that these duties reflect international human rights standards such as the UN Convention on the rights of the Child.
The Lord Mayor Visits St Matthew's
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Nick Small, Curtis Watts, Jill Rolands and Donna Palmer visited our school this week to see the wonderful work we have been doing for School of Sanctuary and Hands of Friendship.
Raindrops Visit
Special 'friends' visited our school today to see the wonderful work we have done to recieve the status of School of Sanctuary. Jill Rowlands, Nick Small, Donna Palmer and Levi Tafari were very impressed with our fantastic pupils. They enjoyed visiting our Raindrops session. It was great fun to see the little ones dancing to our friendship songs.
This week St Matthew’s celebrated National Anti-Bullying week. The theme this year is: Change Starts With Us.
Small changes make a big difference. Whether bullying is verbal, physical, online or in-person, it has a significant impact on a child’s life well into adulthood. By making small, simple changes we can break this cycle and create a safe environment for all.
TOGETHER, we can challenge bullying. Change starts with a conversation. It starts with checking in. It starts when we work together.
This week all pupils have had lots of activities that have promoted the ideas that:
Change starts here. Change starts now. Change starts with us.
Our pupils know that it takes a collective responsibility to stop bullying. We have empowered, positive messages addressing the fact that when it comes to bullying
CHANGE STARTS WITH US!
Celebrating our
individuality and
uniqueness!
ODD SOCK DAY

We are having an Odd Socks day on Monday 12th November. This means that children can come to school in odd socks. We will join many other schools doing the same thing to celebrate pupils’ individuality and uniqueness.
There is no pressure for you to buy or wear the latest fashion socks. All we want is for children to take part and realise that whilst we are all very similar we are all different. The day is designed to be fun!
Thanks for your support
St Matthew's began anti-bullying week by holding an Odd Socks Day . This day is designed to be fun and the photographs show how much the children enjoyed this activity. It was an opportunity for children to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and appreciate what makes us all unique! ... Odd Socks day will help raise awareness around anti-bullying.
Thank you to all those special people who came into school this week to talk about their jobs,
Mentors, School Councillors and Teachers all met today to ensure that their roles on the yard were clear.
